These are qualities I believe that are essential in any business partners, in ensuring that our customers are always assured of a positive brand experience.”

Federal Auto Holdings managing director Cheng Seng Fook said that the significant investment in new VW branches reflects the company’s confidence in the marque’s value and potential in the Malaysian market.
“Being completely-built-up (CBU) units and endowed with some of the most advanced technology, Volkswagen products are now very competitively priced and offer excellent value in the segments that we are competing in. The recently announced five-year warranty programme with unlimited mileage should make the brand even more appealing,” Cheng said.
Pointing out that Federal Auto would be celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Cheng further added that, “We intend to leverage on our experience, expertise and financial strength to partner Volkswagen to the brand to a new level here in Malaysia. Volkswagen is already steadily winning over fans with stunning new products such as the new Passat CC and Scirocco.
