Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has announced that the Arteon R-Line and Tiguan Allspace R-Line and Elegance variants will now come with an additional two years of free maintenance, which the company says will offer customers with up to RM9,600 worth in savings.

The facelifted Arteon R-Line 2.0 TSI 4Motion, which made its Malaysian debut in July 2021, is powered by an EA888 2.0 litre turbocharged engine offering 280 PS and 350 Nm of twist, with power being sent to the wheels via a seven-speed wet clutch DSG transmission. It is currently priced at RM276,990 (retail, without road tax, registration fees and insurance).
As for the seven-seater Tiguan Allspace variants, the R-Line 4Motion features a 2.0 litre turbocharged mill with 220 PS and 350 Nm in the way of output, while the Elegance version is equipped with a 1.4 litre turbocharged engine, with a power output of 150 PS and 250 Nm. They are priced at RM235,990 and RM188,990 respectively (again, retail, without road tax, registration fees and insurance).

Price increase from 248k to 278k…no thanks
I think price the same. RM depreciated. Even 3 series and c class now RM300k plus.
2 years maintenance 9.6K
1 year maintenance 4.8K
400 maintenance mthly
Compared with the Subaru WRX(starting from RM285k), the RM278k for a 4wd R-line Arteon is cheap:

Not only Volkswagen, even other brands too. Doesn’t matter anyways, you can’t afford
YOU know what I can’t afford? Did you learn this during your sessions at Tanjun Rambutan?
Desperate to sell their zero active safety vehicles. Malaysian already enjoy driving hands free and foot free on highways.
I think ADAS is coming into this Arteon soon
VW is planning to discontinue the Arteon soon after a very poor sales figure from the United States..
Very soon only SUV will be sold here..
Volkswagen in an European brand. Sales in the US are important, but not that important.
BTW: Toyota doesn’t sell the Vios in the USA, EU, UK and Australia and the Vios is obviously not discontinued. And the Camry is now discontinued in Japan, but is still sold elsewhere.
@Li Peng, not I say
You can check on the news about VW planning to discontinue the Arteon..
Good move
This brand in Malaysia is keep on improving.
free maintenance for 75k mileage for 5 years is pretty low.
Whatever it is, reliability for VW is better than Mercedes
Expecting 15000km drive a year in Malaysia is not reasonable as we rely too much on cars.
Also is the 15000km Each-service interval will result to the clog D.I. valves and the need for ‘Walnut Blasting’ every 45000km a service provided by your company?
Whatever it is, reliability for VW is better than Mercedes
Well whatever it is their renown Scandal and DSG gearbox issue says otherwise especially here in Malaysia.
It is the past bro. Volkswagen already improving better. Today, now, Mercedes are facing under ongoing scandal investigation based on emissions using cheating devices. No wonder Mercedes have worst reliability than Volkswagen and other brands. Somemore, Mercedes EQ models and gasoline Mercedes models also have huge problems
No matter what they improve,base on total sales volume, ppl believe Japanese cars more reliable compare to any conti cars. besides RV speaks all!
Wait 3 yrs and find a resale one, no need buy new one with full price.
I am abt to get approval from my finance ministerto buy this car over c200 and 320. Now, with the price approaching both models, my proposal is going to be rejected!
Read between the lines. Some not wear and tear items were not included as experienced by me.
