Browse the website for Audi Malaysia’s new progressive financing plan and you’ll find offers for the entire Malaysian lineup – with the sole exception being the current B8 A4, which is listed as having been sold out.
Interestingly, however, the website also mentions that the new B9 Audi A4 will be launched soon, marking the first time the upcoming arrival of the new compact executive sedan has been acknowledged.
Built on the revised modular MLB Evo platform, the larger, sharper-looking B9 is all-new under the familiar skin, with a thoroughly-revamped interior now featuring Audi’s 12.3-inch virtual cockpit instrument cluster, an 8.3-inch tablet-style display for the MMI infotainment system as options, a Qi wireless smartphone charger and a Bang & Olufsen audio system with 3D sound technology as options.
In total, seven engine options are available, including three petrol mills – 150 hp/250 Nm 1.4 TFSI, 190 hp/320 Nm 2.0 TFSI ultra and 252 hp/370 Nm 2.0 TFSI.
All three could possibly be offered here (with a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission and a choice of either front-wheel drive or quattro AWD) to take on the BMW 318i/Mercedes-Benz C 180, 320i/C 200 and 330i/C 300 respectively, all with similar engine outputs.
Plenty of new to be found underneath as well, from newly-developed continuous damping control (CDC) shock absorbers with electromagnetically-controlled valves to an electromechanical power steering system that is lighter and much more responsive than that of the B8s.

just a glorified Passat
If that’s what you think, then Prosche / Bugatti are all glorified VW.

1. 1.4T FWD with S-Tronics 7 speed wet-clutch, 150HP
2. 2.0T FWD with S-Tronics 7 speed wet-clutch, 190HP with ultra low FC (due to miller cycle engine configuration)

price?
Is it? Wah you got so much source all why you still commenting here? Why don’t you start your own car website la
German design is so boring. Be it audi, merc or bmw. Porsche included. But looking at the comments from paultan readers it reflects that majority of malaysians prefer “brands” even though its boring as hell. Just like women drooling on LV handbags with us men cannot fathom the price tag and the so so design.
Can you name me ONE car which is not boring in your opinion?
Perodua Myvi?
Citroen DS design is awesome. Hot hatch? Renault megane over shopping cart Vw golf GTi. Sportscar? Evora 400 looks the part, more exotic and sounds better than cayman or carrera. Supercar? Any mclaren over ferrari or lambo. Grand tourer? Aston martin v12 vantage. Saloon? Lexus with that striking spindle grille anytime over bmw merc or audi. Jaguar XE? Hah, no need to say. Girls show their panties just looking at it. Myvi is out of context as we are talking about boring Audi here.
Those cars are dull or awkwardly designed. Maybe you’re the type who approves awkward designs.
looks are subjective, bro.
Swedish design is more boring than Germans.
Another VW with a fancy dress.
