Autofreaks.NET has been invited for the launch of the CKD VW Polo sedan next week, but here’s sneak preview for you. Based on the current Polo, it comes with all the trappings of the CBU model that was launched in April 2012, but at a locally-assembled price. While at time of writing the actual OTR price has not been announced, we expect it to be around RM80k+.
Stay tuned to AF for the full launch coverage of this model, coming soon!
