After a few months since it was first previewed here, the locally-assembled (CKD Pekan) 2024 VW Golf R finally has its confirmed pricing in Malaysia, starting from RM 332,900. This price includes the Volkswagen Assurance Package (VAP), which offers owners 5 years of maintenance, a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, and 5 years of roadside assistance.

We're right at the tail end of 2021, but the list of cars Malaysians have to look forward to isn't stopping short anytime soon: here's the preview of the locally-assembled (CKD Pekan, Pahang) 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf TSI R-Line.
