Volkswagen road tax in Malaysia is calculated based on engine capacity (cc), vehicle type, and registration status (private or company-owned). The rates differ between Peninsular Malaysia, East Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), and duty-free islands like Langkawi and Labuan. Road tax must be renewed annually (12 months) or semi-annually (6 months), with costs adjusted proportionally.

How Much Does Volkswagen Road Tax Cost?
Volkswagen road tax costs vary by model and engine size. Below are the annual (12-month) road tax rates for private saloon cars in Peninsular Malaysia:
- Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TSI (1197cc): RM55 per year.
- Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI (1390cc): RM70 per year.
- Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 (1395cc): RM70 per year.
- Volkswagen Passat 1.8 (1798cc): RM279.20 per year.
- Volkswagen Golf GTI 2.0 (2000cc): RM380 per year.
- Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 (2967cc): RM2,047.50 per year.
For 6-month renewals, the cost is half the annual rate. For example, the Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TSI would be RM27.50 for 6 months, while the Touareg 3.0 would be RM1,023.75.
How Is Volkswagen Road Tax Calculated?
Volkswagen road tax follows JPJ’s progressive rate system. Saloon cars in Peninsular Malaysia use a base rate plus additional charges per cc above certain thresholds. For example, a 1.8L engine (1798cc) falls under the 1801-2000cc bracket, with a base rate of RM280 plus RM0.50 per cc above 1800. This results in RM279.20 for the Passat 1.8.
Company-owned vehicles pay higher rates. A Volkswagen Golf GTI 2.0 (company-registered) costs RM760 annually, double the private rate.
What Are the Road Tax Rates for Volkswagen in East Malaysia?
Road tax in Sabah and Sarawak is cheaper. For example:
- Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TSI: RM44 per year (vs. RM55 in Peninsular Malaysia).
- Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0: RM270 per year (vs. RM372 in Peninsular Malaysia).
Duty-free zones like Langkawi and Labuan offer 50% discounts for engines above 1000cc.
What Is the Cost of Volkswagen Car Insurance?
Volkswagen insurance costs depend on model, age, and coverage type. Comprehensive insurance for a Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI may range from RM1,500 to RM3,000 annually, while a Touareg 3.0 could exceed RM5,000 per year. Factors like No-Claim Discount (NCD), driver age, and add-ons (e.g., windscreen protection) affect premiums.
Insurance must be renewed before road tax renewal. Policies can be purchased online via platforms like MyEG, JPJ e-Services, or insurance providers such as Allianz and Takaful.
