Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has
announced the availability of the Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI R-Line with Vienna
leather seats, which will carry a nett price of RM 159,888 (OTR price without
insurance is RM 160,608).
Prior to this, an early batch of Golf R-Line cars
came with Zoom fabric upholstery like on the 1.4 TSI Sportline, which was sold
at a lower price point (RM 157,488 nett without GST). However, from now onwards,
only the leather-equipped version of the Golf R-Line will be offered.
The Vienna leather seats (with integrated R-Line
logos on the front backrests) aren’t exactly new additions as they were part of
the Golf R-Line’s initial specifications when it was first launched back in
March this year. This announcement is merely to confirm that customers can now
order the Golf R-Line in said specification.
The Golf R-Line also
comes with an exterior package featuring dedicated front and rear bumpers, and
a sports rear diffuser with trapezoidal chrome exhaust trim. The Golf R-Line
rides on 17-inch Singapore alloy wheels wrapped with 225/45 series tyres.
The equipment list also includes adaptive LED
projector headlamps, LED taillights with sequential turn signals, 12.3-inch
Active Info Display, seven airbags, dual-zone climate control, 8.0-inch
Composition Media infotainment system with eight speakers and a rear view
camera.
A 1.4 litre turbocharged
four-cylinder engine powers the R-Line, providing 150 PS at 5,000 to 6,000 rpm
and 250 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 3,500 rpm. Drive is sent to the front wheels
via a seven-speed dual-clutch DSG transmission along with an XDS extended
differential lock. Zero to 100 km/h is reached in 8.2 seconds and the top speed
is 216 km/h.
