Well, after much speculation, it appears that the all-new MQB-based Volkswagen Polo Mk6 isn’t destined for Malaysia after all.

This was confirmed by Erik Winter, Managing Director of VPCM during a press conference during the launch of the new 2021 Volkswagen Arteon R-Line facelift earlier today.

According to Mr Winter, VPCM is always on the look-out for suitable products to sell in this highly-competitive market. For the time being, he said that VPCM has no plans on introducing a B-segment hatchback in Malaysia.

Instead of the Polo, Mr Winter said that VPCM is looking to introduce one other model to expand the line-up in Malaysia. He added that the current trend are SUVs, hinting that the next model VPCM has in line will be an SUV.
