The Managing Director of VPCM, Erik Winter, explained that the Volkswagen Fest 2017 was specially curated for visitors to experience a carnival-like atmosphere.  “Volkswagen cars are better experienced than explained, and with all the test drive activities, amazing offers and plenty of family fun, the Volkswagen Fest is one of the best platforms we can provide for members of the public to be able to enjoy this. What more, the Volkswagen Fest is where the general public is able to view the Jetta ALLSTAR and the 60th Merdeka Edition Beetle for the first time,” he added.

 

Jetta ALLSTAR

The Jetta ALLSTAR is the latest ALLSTAR edition to be launched by VPCM. The range was first introduced with the Polo ALLSTAR earlier this year, and followed by the Vento ALLSTAR in June. The range was developed specifically for discerning customers who wish to stand out from the crowd.

The Jetta ALLSTAR comes with RM3,000 worth of exclusive accessories such as aluminium sports pedals, rear trunk spoiler, ‘ALLSTAR’ scuff plates, emblems and carpet mats. Priced from RM109,990*, four colours are available – Candy White, Platinum Grey, Reflex Silver and Deep Black.

The Jetta combines a new generation, 1.4L TSI single-turbocharged engine with an improved 7-speed direct shift gearbox (DSG) that delivers an impressive output of 150PS, and a torque of 250Nm between 1,500 to 3,500rpm – making it amongst the most powerful vehicles in its segment.

Additionally, the Jetta is the only sedan in its segment with a 7-speed gearbox, and is able to accelerate from 0 to 100kph in 8.6 seconds. Despite such performance, the Jetta features a combined fuel consumption of approximately 5.0l/100 km** on making it the segment leader in fuel efficiency.

 

The 60th Merdeka Edition Beetle

As Malaysians celebrate the nation’s 60th independence, VPCM is proud to join in with the introduction of the limited edition 60th Merdeka Edition Beetle. Similar to the iconic, and much-loved Herbie Beetle, the Merdeka Beetle is decked in livery, with the number “60” splashed on its hood and sides.

Priced at RM136,888*, only 16 exclusive units are available. The Merdeka Beetle is offered in Pure White and White Silver. All 16 units come with five-year warranty, 60-months road tax, and a limited edition Beetle suitcase.
