Volkswagen On Tour Roadshow

Volkswagen Malaysia embarks on its inaugural nationwide brand showcase, the ‘Volkswagen On Tour’, kicking off at Queensbay Mall, Penang, giving members of the public free admission and a chance to experience the brand in an exhibition area of more than 11,000 sq. ft.
Globally, deliveries from the Volkswagen Group have seen encouraging growth of 4.7% to 8.68 million vehicles, compared to the same period of that last year. In the Asia-Pacific region, numbers were also positive, with a 15.1% increase in deliveries to 3.29 million vehicles.
Following Volkswagen’s participation at KLIMS 2013, ‘Volkswagen On Tour’ serves as a platform to engage Malaysians nationwide in a Customer dialogue, and is also a public outreach initiative aimed to share Volkswagen’s product range and brand values with Malaysians – its distinctive philosophy, safety technology, ‘Think Blue.’ attitude and cutting-edge innovation that go into Volkswagen’s range of vehicles.

Throughout the 13-week tour, visitors to the roadshow will be able to view, explore and test-drive the various Volkswagen vehicles on display including the recently launched 2014 Polo Sedan, the current World Car of The Year (you can read more about it here – https://timchew.net/2013/11/06/launch-of-the-2014-volkswagen-polo-sedan/), the seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf or the iconic Beetle.
‘Think Blue’ is one of the highlights and visitors will be able to learn more about fuel efficiency and reducing carbon emissions for sustainable mobility, as well as how Volkswagen is applying innovative and award-winning automotive technology to achieve a better tomorrow.
Visitors will also get a chance to familiarize Volkswagen’s advance safety technology i.e. range of child safety seats and ISOFIX (child seat anchor).

There will also be interactive displays and fun-filled activities featuring the automotive marque’s sporty side such as the Volkswagen Golf GTI and a driving simulator as well as the celebration of Volkswagen Motorsports recent win of the 2013 World Rally Championship (WRC).
Visitors can participate in the ‘Volkswagen On Tour’ Photo contest, which requires you to snap a picture of yourself with a complete coaster puzzle obtained at the roadshow. They just post the photo with the hashtag #VolkswagenOnTour on Instagram and follow the @VolkswagenOnTour account or on Facebook and tag the Volkswagen Malaysia Facebook page, to stand the chance of winning one of nine prizes of an extended two week test drive with any of your favourite Volkswagen models.

The ‘Volkswagen On Tour’ road show will be heading to 13 locations nationwide from 13 December till March 2014.
