Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has revealed to us the special edition Volkswagen Polo Black & White. This latest special edition in conjunction with Lazada will be limited to 11 units only Polo 1.6 Hatchback and it will go on sale in conjunction with Lazada’s annual 11.11 Shopping Festival celebration.
The Polo Black & White is limited to only 11 units. It will be sold and only available for booking exclusively on Lazada’s online platform on the 11 th of November 2018. The retail price for this special Polo B&W edition is RM68,488 (on the road before insurance). While it is priced close to the regular Polo 1.6, this special edition is loaded up with accessories worth RM7,500.
Another attractive offer aside from the loads of accessories, VPCM has also partnered with official bank partner Hong Leong Bank which will be offering a special low interest rate of 1.11% per annum for a 5-year loan for the car. So like most products you buy online via Lazada, it comes with some extra discounts or benefits. In this case, the Polo 1.6 gets a lot of accessories and also the chance to only get charged a very low interest rate for buying the car. Quite a deal actually.
The Polo Black & White is only available in Candy White and comes fitted RM7,500 worth of accesories. This includes a black rear spoiler, black body side moldings, leather seats, 15” black alloy wheels, black side mirror and authorised VW Tint.
The Polo has a 1.6l 105PS petrol injection 16-Valve Multi Point Injection (MPI) engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic with sport mode, the Polo 1.6l comes with a maximum torque of 153Nm available at a low 3800rpm.
Inside, the Polo 1.6l is fitted with a new RCD 340G head unit which offers a wide range of connectivity options such as USB and iPod interface, AUX-IN support, SD card slot, Bluetooth and App- Connect (CarPlay, Android Auto and Mirrorlink).
The Polo in its current form is actually quite good value for your Ringgit as it is German engineered and comes with a very reliable, traditional non-high tech engine and transmission for easy long terms maintenance. It is still a favourite of mine after all these years. Furthermore, all Volkswagen models come with 3-years free maintenance, 5-years manufacturer’s warranty and 5-years roadside assistance for some peace of mind.
According to Erik Winter, Managing Director of VPCM (seen to the right of Christophe Lejeune CEO Lazada Malaysia), “A consumer’s purchasing journey have evolved so much in the past recent years, and we are pleased to have played a part in changing perceptions to the point where purchasing a car is now the new norm. This is evident with the success with our collaborations with Lazada for the 12.12. Beetle and the recent JOIN range. This also tells us that consumers are online; reading, researching and looking for the best deals. And that is where Volkswagen will be.”
Like the previous Lazada-Volkswagen efforts, all you have to do to make a booking is place a booking fee online. You only need to pay RM799 and it can be made via Lazada Wallet, credit card or online banking, after which the customer will receive a call from a Volkswagen representative for arrangements on their preferred dealership and to complete the registration and delivery of the vehicle. Of course, you have to be quick, as usually these limited run cars are snapped up pretty fast. I suggest getting all the details keyed in and sniping a booking as soon as the channels are open to do so when 11.11.18 arrives...This usually means 12am 1.0second on the 11th and you've started trying to do so.
“Lazada has evolved beyond being just an online shopping platform and has transformed into a lifestyle destination. Our continued partnership with Volkswagen is proof of changing consumer behaviour, and we look forward to offering our customers the biggest and best Lazada shopping experience through this exclusive collaboration,” said Christophe Lejeune, Chief Executive Officer of Lazada Malaysia on the collaboration between Lazada and VPCM.
Those seriously interested to purchase the special edition Polo Black & White should head over to the Volkswagen store on Lazada for more details.
