Model VW Passat lebih murah
Oleh Ahmad Farizal Hajat

2011/02/28

Dipasang di kilang DRB-Hicom, harga ditawar RM154,000 seunit

MODEL pemasangan tempatan (CKD) Volkswagen Passat hasil jalinan pakatan antara DRB-Hicom Bhd dan Volkswagen AG (VW) akan dijual pada harga amat berdaya saing, sekitar RM154,000 seunit, iaitu kira-kira 30 peratus lebih murah berbanding sekitar RM220,000 bagi yang diimport sepenuhnya (CBU).

Model perintis hasil pakatan kerjasama konglomerat automotif Malaysia dan syarikat automotif terbesar Eropah itu akan mula dipasarkan November ini.
Sumber industri berkata, penurunan harga itu hasil pengecualian cukai susulan daripada program CKD serta pengurangan kos pengeluaran berikutan penggunaan komponen tempatan, iaitu sekitar 40 peratus.
Katanya, meskipun harga bagi Passat CKD itu dikurangkan dengan ketara, namun dari segi kualiti, ia akan tetap mengikut dan menepati spesifikasi pengeluaran antarabangsa VW.

“Buat permulaan, harga Passat yang dipasang dan dikeluarkan di kilang pemasangan milik DRB-HICOM di Pekan, Pahang akan ditawarkan 30 peratus lebih rendah daripada model CBU, sebelum ia dikurangkan lagi secara berperingkat bergantung kepada peningkatan peratusan penggunaan kompo-nen tempatannya.

“Justeru, melihat kepada penurunan harga serta jangkaan sambutan menggalakkan, kami menjangkakan DRB-Hicom akan membuka tempahan bagi model itu selewat-lewatnya dua minggu sebelum pelancarannya di pasaran,” kata sumber industri itu kepada Berita Harian di Kuala Lumpur.

Beliau berkata, jika DRB-Hicom mampu meningkatkan peratusan kandungan komponen tempatan pada Passat dalam tempoh beberapa tahun akan datang, harga model itu dijangka mampu dikurangkan sehingga mencecah RM130,000 seunit.
“Buat permulaan, program CKD Passat itu hanya membabitkan peratusan kandungan komponen tempatan yang kecil, iaitu sekitar 40 peratus, namun DRB-Hicom, menerusi program vendornya, sudah memiliki beberapa strategi untuk meningkatkannya sehingga 60 peratus dalam tempoh dua hingga tiga tahun akan datang,” jelasnya.

Program CKD model Volkswagen itu susulan termeterainya perjanjian pelesenan dan pakatan antara DRB-Hicom dan VW pada Disember tahun lalu sehingga membolehkan konglomerat automotif tempatan itu memasang dan mengeluarkan kenderaan jenama Volkswagen di Malaysia.

Perjanjian yang dicapai selepas kira-kira dua tahun berunding itu, akan menyaksikan DRB-Hicom memperkenalkan tiga model Volkswagen dan mengeluarkan kira-kira 30,000 unit kenderaan VW setahun menjelang 2015, sebelum ditingkatkan lagi pengeluarannya kepada 60,000 unit pada 2020.

Volkswagen Passat adalah model sulung yang akan dikeluarkan di kemudahan milik DRB-Hicom itu, sebelum disusuli model Jetta dan satu lagi model yang akan diumumkan kelak.

Selain dipasarkan untuk pasaran tempatan, model Volkswagen yang dipasang DRB-Hicom itu, akan turut dieksport ke negara ASEAN lain mulai 2013.

wow..its good and bad news. good news for people who are going to buy a passat and bad news for people who already owns a CBU passat.. sames goes to other future CKD models like Golf GTI. Imagine is around RM130k on road nextime, malaysia will be flooding with more GTI users..

sien. very sien to see vw become so cheap. not exclusive anymore

My s.a said it's not gonna be passat cc..

Dont forget this is the China Passat or Passat B6 not the Passat CC being sold currently. Golfs will not be CKD for now at least not in the immediate future.

but from RM220,000 > RM154,000 around 70k difference wor.. so if they CKD GTI, Scirocco would be around that price range also rite

Was it a GTI or a TSI?

Nevermind lah.. u got to drive the car a few months ahead of those 2011 guys!

this passat (non cc) is the new one which will be ckd, so no current users are going to be affected

Wonder how the sales will be for the CKD units if they are not the cc version...

If the price is right, the sales should be ok.

I can see more and more aftermarket VW products coming in already!

VW car really look great.

Hi Guys..

Just to keep you guys in the loop. I just went to SC for get them to rectify the rattling sounds near the B pillars for my wife's Golf TSI. They told me VGM has found a solution and they can start rectifying the problem next week onwards. I am also made to understand that this problem is quite common. So anyone of you guys having this problems go to the SC and get it sorted.

And to update you guys on the DRL. Grats to the 2011 TSI buyers, the car comes with DRL. Only TSI gets DRL, GTI dont have it.Looks very nice. But damn painful for 2010 buyers, feel like kena conned. Should we start a petition for 2010 buyers to get VGM to subsidised retrofiting the car with DRL at minimal cost?

I think we should cause the TSI was lunched only 6 months ago and now they update the car with new stuffs. Any input will be great..
