KUALA LUMPUR: A handful of 11 units, exclusive to Lazada, will be on sale at the annual 11.11 Shopping Festival that will be taking place on Friday, 11 November 2018. The car in the attention is the special edition Volkswagen Polo, titled as the Polo Black & White. Priced at RM 68,488, the Polo Black & White edition includes accessories worth RM 7,500 and the price is exclusive of the insurance costs.

At an initial fee of RM 799, one can make a booking using the Lazada Wallet, credit card, or even online banking. The Hong Leong Bank has also joined hands and will be providing a special interest rate of 1.11% per annum for 5-years on this special edition of the Polo.

The Volkswagen Polo Black & White is powered by a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder naturally-aspirated petrol motor. The motor is capable of producing 105 PS of max power and a peak torque of 153 Nm. A six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic takes care of power delivery to the front wheels. This is the same setup that is used in the Polo 1.6 Comfortline Vienna that sales for RM 74,990.

The special edition Volkswagen Polo Black & White comes with a single color option, White. There are touches of black throughout the car justifying the intended theme. The side mouldings, rear spoiler, black leather seats, 15-inch ‘Riverside’ alloy wheels, and side mirror caps give the white hatchback that black flair.

Erik Winter, managing director of VPCM said, “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. Convenience aside, this also tells us that consumers are online – reading, researching and looking for the best deals. And that is where Volkswagen will be”.

Christophe Lejeune, CEO of Lazada Malaysia was also very optimistic about the exclusive offering they are making in tandem with Volkswagen. Lazada, an online shopping platform has evolved over time and now has become a lifestyle destination, he added.
