Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has announced the introduction of the new upgraded Volkswagen Passat R- Line in Malaysia.
Featuring an engine that produces more power, as well as a few new features that promise to make the car more premium, the new 2022 Volkswagen Passat R-Line is priced at RM211,916.88, which is about RM8,000 more than the outgoing model which debuted back in October 2020.
The new Passat R-Line is given a power boost as its 2.0TSI turbocharged engine now produces 220 PS and 350 Nm of torque. Paired with a 6-speed wet clutch DSG which replaces the outgoing 7-speed gearbox, it delivers a dynamic driving experience that can be personalised even further with Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC).
Finer details have been added to the interior to make it more luxurious, with the key highlight being a premium Harman Kardon audio system.
The 12 high-performance speakers and 700-watt amplifier will create an immersive audio journey for every drive. There is currently a haptic-touch air con control that is simple and intuitive to use too.
The premium Harman Kardon 700-watt audio system features 12 speakers (including a subwoofer) to deliver rich and vibrant acoustics in four modes: Pure, Chill Out, Live, and Energy.
Locally assembled in Pekan, the new Passat R-Line is available in five colours including the new Scale Silver. It is the second model in Malaysia to receive the new Volkswagen logo.
Options for metallic colours are Scale Silver, Aquamarine Blue, and Manganese Grey; whereas Deep Black and Oryx White are the two pearl-effect colours that are available at no additional cost.
Erik Winter, Managing Director of VPCM, is pleased to kick-start 2022 with the launch of the upgraded Passat R-Line, “The Passat is built on a successful combination of class and performance, which makes it the sedan of choice for the sophisticated both globally and locally. We have retained the unique features of the Passat R-Line but fine-tuned its performance, so that it becomes an ideal partner for the discerning driver.”
