SOCAR now lets you drive a Volkswagen Polo for just RM13.90 per hour

SOCAR has just partnered with Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) in providing Volkswagen Polo(s) to SOCAR users.“The Volkswagen Polo was a natural choice for SOCAR’s fleet expansion,” adds Foong, “because it is the perfect city car, offering an assuredly safe, yet fun quality drive. It is also one of the world’s most widely produced car models.” He also says that the current demographic of SOCAR users in Malaysia are in their mid-30s, who want to try new car models or are households that need to use a second or third car from time to time.

“We are pleased to collaborate with SOCAR. Through this partnership, we are able to offer the members of the public easy access to Volkswagen cars and have them enjoy its German engineered capabilities. The Polo is perfect for city driving, though it may be small in stature it offers a dynamic drive without compromising on safety and comfort,” says Erik Winter, Managing Director of Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM).

The Volkswagen Polo comes with a 1.6-litre 105PS petrol injection 16-Valve Multi Point Injection (MPI) engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic. Torque is rated at 153 NM at 3,800 RPM. The Volkswagen Polo has a fuel consumption of just 6.3L/100KM. The first batch of 21 Volkswagen Polo(s) have been delivered to SOCAR with the remaining 29 due by mid May.
