Volkswagen Malaysia seems to be doing a lot of innovative marketing these days. In conjunction with the Volkswagen celebrating 40 years of the Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen Group Malaysia decided to celebtate this momentous milestone by collaborating with established fashion lifestyle photographer Vincent Paul Yong Photography (VPYP) to produce a photo series that showcases the driving fun with the car.
This hatchback made its first appearance in 1975 and the current Polo is its fifth generation. The Polo hatchback is one of the brand’s top-selling passenger cars around the world. Last year, Volkswagen Malaysia introduced the locally assembled Polo making it more affordable and accessible. To date, over 13,000 units sold.
Having driven the locally assembled Polo 1.6 hatch I have to say that the basic 1.6liter engine and that torque convertor 6 speed transmission is one of the more reliable and refined offerings that Volkswagen has in its stables. It is actually fun to drive and the simplicity of this model makes it the one for people who want to experience the pleasure of owning a German engineered car without any extra cost.
And so, in conjunction with the Polo’s 40th anniversary, Volkswagen Malaysia has announced the introduction of the Volkswagen Polo Club (based on the recently facelifted model). It will feature a multimedia head unit with navigation and window tint. The Polo Club will be available at RM88,888 and the Polo Sedan Club at RM89,888 while stocks last. The prices are actually the same as the standard variant offered.
