Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia has presented to us two new variants of the Passat. The Volkswagen Passat is now offered in PLUS variants of the Passat Trendline and the Passat Comfortline. Both offer better styling upgrades inside and out.
The Passat Trendline PLUS now gets luxurious leather seats, 17” Istanbul alloy wheels (from 16"), and window tint worth RM8,000 while the Passat Comfortline PLUS gets upsized 18” Monterey alloy wheels (from 17")and window tint, valued at RM12,000. In simpler terms, both get something from the spec one rung up. The Trendline gets the alloy wheels and seats offered to the Comfortline, and the Comfortline now gets the Highline wheels. So in terms of exterior looks, both go up a notch. One now looks like a Comfortline and the other looks more like a Highline specced Passat.
Of course, you can still differentiate the Passat Highline 2.0 from these 1.8liter versions because the rear bumper of the Highline has integrated twin exhaust pipes (the actually just hide the real tailpipes) compared to the visible rear tailpipes set to one side.
The best thing about this package is that the Passat PLUS is still sold at the original retail prices. They get more goodies at the same price. There are also special loan packages for the cars as well as 5 years warranty and 5 years Free Service (T&C would apply obviously).
Model Free service 5-year loan 7-year loan 9-year loan
Passat Trendline PLUS 5-years 0.88% 1.28% 1.68%
Passat Comfortline PLUS 5-years 0.88% 1.28% 1.68%
Quite a lot of value for your money. If you actually just run a car for 5 years before changing it, this could be quite a reasonable package. Low interest rates (which actually comes out like a fantastic cash rebate spread out over the term of the loan - especially if you compare with the usually 2.88-3.3% interest charged), warranty and free servicing. There definitely is some peace of mind.
