The Volkswagen Das Auto Show is a big event in Bukit Jalil where the public will be able to learn more about the brand as well as its car offerings and the technologies employed such as TSI engine downsizing and DSG dual clutch transmissions.
Volkswagen sells cars with premium price tags so far – cars like the popular Golf GTI and Passat CC. When the CKD cars are launched, entry into the brand is going to become more affordable so this a good move for Volkswagen to get the general public familiarized.
