After being on sale in Malaysia for about a year, Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has discontinued the Mk8 Volkswagen Golf here.
We received a tip from one of our readers who reached out to us and true enough, the Golf R-Line has vanished from VPCM’s site.

When the Mk8 Golf R-Line was on sale, it was priced from RM 169,990, making it one of the pricier C-segment hatchbacks on sale. For comparison, the made-in-Japan (CBU) Mazda 3 Hatchback is priced between RM 143,320 to RM 161,059.
With these prices, it is a tough choice between the Golf R-Line and Mazda 3 – the latter is an easier car to live with on a daily basis and looks prettier.

If you’re in the market for a Volkswagen Golf, fret not as VPCM still has the CKD Golf GTI and CBU Golf R, priced from RM 225,990 and RM 429,990, respectively.
