2021 Volkswagen Arteon R-Line: In Pics

Volkswagen Malaysia launched the Arteon facelift in the country in July this year and is proving a great seller for the automaker. The sedan is offered in a single variant option - R-Line 2.0 TSI 4 Motion priced at RM 248,693 that's almost RM 27,000 more than the previous model. It includes a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty and three years of free servicing.

Note that the prices are on-the-road without insurance and account for the ongoing SST exemption which is 100 percent in this case. Why? Well, that's because the Arteon is locally assembled in Pekan, Pahang.
