The Audi A3 Sedan facelift has now arrived in Malaysia, with a sole 1.4 TFSI variant being offered for RM239,900 on-the-road without insurance (includes a five-year/unlimited mileage warranty). The A3 range was given a number of updates back in April 2016, which saw tweaks to its design and list of available equipment.
In the case of the former, the latest A3 is identified by its broader and sharper singleframe grille, which is flanked by reshaped LED headlamps that are reminiscent of those on the B9 A4 with a jagged bottom edge.
At the rear, the LED taillights (with dynamic turn signal) carry redesigned graphics within them, and there’s a new bumper with more prominent lower inserts. Our cars come fitted with 18-inch five-double-spoke alloy wheels as standard, with 225/40 profile tyres to match.
Moving inside, the changes are a little subtler, with a 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit instrument display being one of the highlights. Additionally, the retractable screen for the MMI Navigation plus infotainment system is now a seven-inch display with thinner bezels instead of the previous 5.8-inch unit. An eight-speaker sound system and MMI touch are the supporting equipment for the MMI system.
Other items you’ll find inside include a dual-zone air-conditioning system with rear vents, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats with four-way lumbar support, Micrometallic silver trim, a lighting package, Audi drive select, Comfort key, as well as keyless entry and start.
Safety-wise, you’ll get six airbags, Electronic Stability Control and Isofix child seat anchors and top tethers for the outer rear seats. For convenience, there’s also parking aid plus with a rearview camera.
Under the bonnet, there’s a 1.4 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that serves up 150 hp from 5,000-6,000 rpm and 250 Nm of torque from 1,500-3,500 rpm.
A seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission handles power deliver to the front wheels, allowing for a zero to 100 km/h time of 8.2 seconds and a top speed of 224 km/h. The claimed combined fuel consumption here is 4.9 l/100 km, while CO2 emissions is rated at 114 g/km.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
from 180k to 240k hahah habislah
RM240k worth to get. Way more better build and fine finishing than C Class and BMW G20.
You know this is the same as Jetta FL right?
it’s even more expensive than the pre facelift 1.8 awd
Malaysia is the only country where car prices are going higher and higher.
Already we have the highest car prices in the world due to 60 years of corruption, now it goes even higher
Audi car price lower in DRB euromobil times.
Complain so much about DRB Euromobil, in the end they still sold the pre-faclifted at a reasonable price.
Cars were going down in price for the past 20 years, but in the last 10 months suddenly car prices are shooting up. This is thanks to corruption of 20 years ago coming back in a torrent.
20 years of corruption levels being reduced & controlled suddenly being unleashed in the last 10 months, of course car prices and everything else going up like crazy.
That’s what happens when franchise change to Sinkie. Now you have to pay equivalent in Sing dollars for an Audi. No matter how terrible Euromobil was, at least they priced it competitively.
RM240K equivalent in Sing dollars $80k for an Audi A3 sedan. Malaysia previous 60year govt so saddings.
Wow a 60k price jump but still no basic drivers assistance features???? Omg congratulations!!!!!
you rather get facelift c class, if c class interior is getting dated, this a3 interior is super duper cheap and ugly
Interior Look like proton saga, except the infotainment system
they bring in the wrong car should have bring in the sportback and too expensive
With all those added kit the most I’d pay for one will be 200k.
Or get the Passat. High trim 2.0T.
I thought I had misread A3 instead of A4
As i recalled back in 2016, my mom bought the 1.4 A3 at 180k. How come the FL become 240k?! Ridiculous. C200 & 320i are a better choice at that price range.
Because in 2016 GST was 6%. Now SST is 10%.
WTF kind of pricing? RM240k ? GG
8.2 seconds is damn slow
If the price comes with bang olufsen sound system i think this A3 can sell quite well
Good luck Audi.
Audi think we are LuLu….
performance is not far from the civic turbo. but when u get the civic, u save over RM100K and yet can cucuk Audi A3.
Cucuk untill masuk longkang
Shame… shame… tak malu ka? At this price, still no driver assistance system (DAS)?!?! Even a Myvi at RM55k pun ada DAS la… (repeated comment from A5 write up)
Having only frontal collision warning and low speed braking is not considered as ADAS. For that you need to have BLIS, LDW, LKAS, and Adaptive Cruise. New Myvi has none of those.
Audi should just exit Malaysia. The Specs in a VW Gold which is a 100k less is even hugher than this A3. Essentially it is the same car. At 240k Audi is cometing with the 3 series, C class and also others. Seriosuly even looking at the car shows 0 imagination from the designers. Audi Malaysia really should just pack up and go, as people with any amount of brain matter will know how ridiculous is your pricing.
Audi already exit malaysia. no more official Audi from Germany
You know that Audi Malaysia is ACTUALLY gone and left Malaysia right? What left here are the dying local dealers.
Look at the price tag, then look at the interior, and then look at the price tag again. It’s ridiculous!
The new Mazda 3 is going to eat this A3 alive.
2.0 Supercharged AWD for presumably less than 160k, versus this overpriced 1.4 Turbocharged FWD.
It’s time for them to revamp the whole line-up, putting in the S / RS line, and actually make their base model price to be reasonable as least to a Volvo level.
They are literally no match for Mercedes / BMW anymore.
It’s time to face the reality Audi Malaysia !
Bring the S/RS model here to have a decent fight with the Mercedes’s AMG ! Or else just fade away in the market !
Nobody in their right mind would compare a Mazda 3 with the Audi A3.
Might as well say that the Honda Civic will smoke the A3.
Can i trade in my perodua kancil 660cc?
Audi Malaysia needs to wake up!!!! Older A3 1.4 was 180+… 1.8quattro was low 210+. Now, 1.4 at 240k? The sky is so very high that the kite can really soar!!
sorry audi…i wait for G20 this week…
i really can’t accept the oval aircond register…
I guess audi sg think they are selling the car at sg, between with tis price I will go for golf gti
Golf 1.4 same engine loads of better features, fantastic car and 80k cheaper. Easy decision. Hard to see this Audi being sold.
Let’s compare
1. Merc A200
Price: 230k
Engine: 1.3
Power/torque: 163/250NM
0-100: 8.0 sec
Swanky design in and out. But, smaller boot
2. Audi A3
Price: 240k
Engine: 1.4
Power/torque: 150/250NM
0-100: 8.2
Exclusivity (cos everyone else buys Merc or BMW) and build quality. But, no AEB
Not a huge difference between the two. But one thing’s clear, car prices on the way up
The bland interior will make you forget about the build quality. At the same time, the full features of the A200 will too make you forget about the build quality.
Is it a proton saga interior for 240k?
Maybe it will sell one unit a month.
Unbelievably overpriced!
A4 1.4 is 219k. This A3 with same engine is 240k….. wtf just happened Audi ?
