Renault Malaysia starts car subscription trial project

KUALA LUMPUR: Renault Malaysia is working towards making the car subscription service a reality in the country. Initiating the service is TC Euro Cars, automakers’ local distributor that has come up with ‘Renault Subscription Pilot’ project. This service is currently limited to the employees of APM, Tan Chong Motor Holdings, and Warisan Tan Chong Holdings.

The models that are a part of this pilot project are the Koleos and Captur. Under the Renault Subscription Pilot, the Koleos costs RM 1,999 per month for 2WD variant and RM 2,399 for Signature 2WD model. The Renault Captur, on the other hand, is priced at RM 999 per month. Also, the company is offering a commitment-free 30-day free trial service that will last till June 30, 2019.

The said service brings along several benefits like the inclusion of road tax and insurance in the monthly fee. Plus, there is no downpayment, however, note that a security deposit of RM 2,500 and RM 3,500 is applicable on the Captur and Koleos, respectively. The cost also covers servicing worth RM 10,000 per kilometre. Note that wear and tear of tyres, wheel, and dampers are on the buyers.

As for now, the car subscription trial project is limited to the employees of the companies mentioned above. But soon, we are hoping it to be offered to a large-scale audience. Until that happens, the Koleos is priced at RM 187,614 for range-topping Signature 2WD and RM 173,840 for the base 2WD model. Renault Captur is priced at RM 107,980, and the Captur+ trim costs RM 113,300.
