Remember the Volkswagen Passat CC? The sexy, low-slung, four-door coupe that lured a number of Malaysians away from the usual compact execs like the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The Volkswagen Arteon is the successor to the Passat CC and it aims to accomplish what its predecessor did.

Then, Volkswagen ditched it altogether for its successor and called it the Arteon, clearly p

The new 2020 Volkswagen Passat facelift (B8 generation) made its local debut last week with less power but with an even more affordable price tag. But what else is new on the Passat? Here’s a quick comparison. The biggest change with the new Passat's line-up is that it has only one variant on sale, the 2.0 TSI Elegance, the 1.8 TSI is now discontinued. Thus, our comparison is only between the high-spec pre-facelift, Passat 2.0 TSI Highline, to the current 2.0 TSI Elegance. Up front, the new Pass

Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) no longer sells any Volkswagen Passat 1.8 TSI. All remaining units have been snapped up and the dealers now only carry the more powerful 2.0 TSI variant. This is most likely due to the fact that Volkswagen Malaysia is gearing up for the introduction of the updated Passat, which made it global debut earlier this year. Yes, we are confident that the new model will be much better than the current model, but expect prices to be a lot higher than the current
