Two weeks ago, we posted up spyshots of the Audi A6 Hybrid being transported from Port Klang, before Euromobil put up a teaser on Audi’s Malaysian website. The car is confirmed to be coming very soon, but here’s a full view of it – a black registered unit spotted by reader Tan San Hoe near the Portuguese settlement in Melaka.
If we were to hazard a guess, ACJ 6 could probably be an early unit that Euromobil registered for testing purposes, used by a high-ranking company exec. The car’s 10-arm turbine design wheels unique to the hybrid and the “hybrid” badge at the back tells us that this is no ordinary A6.
As previously pointed out, the A6 Hybrid is powered by a 2.0 TFSI and electric motor combo, which means that it is eligible for the government’s 100% exemption for both import duty and excise duty for hybrid cars. An A6 for the price of an A4? We will soon officially find out if that’s the case.
Saw the car at Euromobil Glenmarie. I must say at 288k without insurance is very tempting for those who are in the market for Merc C, BMW 3 or Audi A4
Is I.ME and I.ME(tm) the same person?
Nope…. I like cars, the other like the price of the car
wow.. already registered?
yummy..
besides yesterday saw one “VW Phaeton” the V6 version on Jalan Bangsar..
registration “WXG” some one..
got a driver drive the car..
anyway let see how they perform especially the after sales :)
saw one this evening along bu7/1 at Bandar Utama…. white color belonged to the resident…
RM288k? Then it is a no brainer, grab it for those who has the budget !
Yes! it is really a no brainer!!
Went to Glenmarie showroom today. A new A6 hybrid is being handling over to a guy already, and few more new units are parking at backyard.
Surprisingly, high spec enuf!! at 288K
245HP,450NM, Full LED headlamp, Sunroof, GPS!
the show unit A6 3.0T there don’t even have sunroof & LED headlamp~~~ my friend immediately wrote a 10k cheque for booking! delivery on March.
This car is affecting the market of Premium C & D car segment. A 420K car selling at 288K. It easily grab the potential buyers of : A4 2.0T, 328i, 520, 528i, C250, E200, E250 ~~
btw, guess it won’t come with a Rusty seat rite? XXXXX :(
apparently they r only bringing in 40+ units so better get it before it gets snatch up by other buyers
I seriously wish so. Is the Lexus CT200h exempted from excise and import duties?
CT200H 200K is the selling price after tax exempted !
now u know how greedy is Toyota malaysia??!
just compare CT200h(200k) with A6 2.0T hyb(288k)
if no tax exempt benefit, CT200h should sell at wat price? 280k?? damn…
Ct200H Lux version price breakdown:
-Selling price 196,000
-Paid to Toyota Japan 130,000 +-
So, UMW Malaysia pocketed 60,000++ each car sold.
Tax exemption comes to about 150,000++
I only remember the estimate as i malas to search for my AP.
bermimpilah aku untuk memilikinya
audi needs more SC. otherwise, long queue for servicing
This is provided the guys at euromobil pass on the exemption to the consumers. A 100% tax free a6 hybrid shouldn’t cost more than RM220K
they’ll plus profit margin RM50k per car…. sell 1000 unit per year, easily RM50 million profit…
pagi tadi ada nampak 1 dekat ukay perdana
While it is not cheap, it looks like a great bargain beside the bmw activehybrids. Best part though is that it does not look too hybrid like? enabling you to drive it without looking too much like some eco hippie.
Isn’t that a good thing? Being environmentally conscious is hip. Why else would half of Hollywood be driving Prius?
…except they ditched prius & bought fisker karma…
Or Tesla Roadster/Model S. Yes, sure. But those are also known as eco cars. Point is: You WANT to show that you are eco friendly. Why would you want to hide that?
well, for example, when you donate money to the poor, usually people would like to be discrete. unless your name is roarsmar
288K is at higher price, Euromobil has no intention to increase market share, 68k more than 220k. No surprising.
Then pray tell what is the point of 100% exemption if importers are unwilling to pass on the benefits to the buyers. The problem is not with the govt policy (which I applaud them for), but rather with bureaucrats unwilling to see that the future of motor transport lies beyond a petrol engine.. The rest of the world has moved on and forward in hybrid and diesel technology, but local companies would rather we ride in the current equivalent of horse carriages
I’d they sell it at 220k they can stop selling all their other cars. Stop the Passat too. Just set up a factory in Malaysia and only sell the A6 hybrid.
If its below 300k, then it will beat even the base 520d which is going for 338k, or the 328i at 293k.
camry should lose their market if this A6 costing < 160k!
nice one! hehe
saw one that day at BSC gong into parking. saw the wording Hybrid.
just get a Honda Insight or Toyota Prius. The rest of the money can do investment. after all cars are depreciating assets. only fools put a huge money there.
What can you do with the return of your investment? Invest more and keep invest for your whole life till the last day and left all money to your son?
At the end, he buy an A6 Hybrid day after your funeral. :)
Blackbox.
I will give you 1000 thumbs UP..
GOOD JOB!!!
my ghost will haunt him.
Surely his son gonna burn him a Chinese Dao tradition handcrafted audi a6 to compensate him…after all it maybe just cost $288….
Instead of calling others fools, why not ask yourself how come you are not smart enough to afford 3 sports cars and 4 golf memberships from the returns of your investments?
I don’t splurge to show off. i make my money work for me. people like you buy nice car but stay rented house.
Materialistic society to claim others as fool as if he is not
My dream car is getting cheaper and cheaper and it comes with hybrid system that helps to save fuels during the jams in KL!!
I rather chose this instead of bmw 3 or 5 series.
Audi/VW has been listed as the germany most unreliable engine maker. You dare buy this hitech hybrid?
It might end up crying for the breakdown cost.
Listed where?
But at this segment and FWD might lost a bit of ‘ohmm’. If quattro will be perfect.
FWD is for Ah Pek.
No wonder I saw a lot of Ah Pek driving Megane RS250.
The only car that could be truly affordable here would be the Tesla Model S. As a 100% EV, from a brand that does nothing else, they surely should be eligible for the tax cuts, and they wouldn’t be scared about the sales of their other cars.
However sales are so strong in the markets where it launched that they can’t make them fast enough. So no need to launch in Malaysia.
Ps: Teslas are maintenance free. You don’t need to oil the engine, because, well, it’s electric and sealed up I guess. Gearbox… is there even one? 1 speed. Air suspension might not need much maintenance, not sure. Brakes are not used as much as in normal cars since usually the car prefers to charge the batteries when slowing down.
They have started delivering the car to customers and the first batch is sold out. 2nd batch of A6 hybrids coming in this month. Official launch end of the month.
acctually its around feb 22
The A6 hydrid definately is a talk of the town with the speculative pricing – RM288K. Correct me if I’m wrong, Euromobil is a subsidiary of EON Bhd, which in turn a subsidiary of DRB Hicom, which coincidentally owned by Syed Mokhtar…I remembered my friend who bought A4 told me, when he took the car, there was a AP letter indicated he paid RM60K for it. That could explain why the car will never price at RM220K if fully tax exempted…sigh
ur fren buy gray market A4? AP for official distributor/car manu is RM0..AP for gray market is more than RM10k
Not sure Bro, he bought from Euromobil with all the detail pricing and receipts. Price is what they quoted in the price list. Waited more than 7 months, at 1 time they offered him additional specs but with RM10-15K more – delivery time, sharp at 6 months. He didn’t take the offer
Its rear has a hint of Preve’s…
Pathetic
Conventional (petrol) A6’s price is 345k. Price for hybrid A6 will be around 250k and 300k. Might be 268k.
Its 288k bro as there was a customer paying for the car while i was at Glenmarie “window shopping”
A6 Hybrid sounds exciting. Fantastic car now with fantastic consumption and now especially at that price. Real value for money I must say. But the big questions is Euromobil and their technical team and service capability. No point buying a car and it stays in the workshop for 6 months in a year.
If you check Audi.co.uk car configurator tool, the base price is around £43,500 (RM220k) but with very limited spec probably the new Mazda 6 is better. When u add things like 18 inch rim (£945), keyless entry (£575), electric and leather seats (£1705), all led lights based on pix above (£2500), lane assist (£525), electric steering adjust (£420), park assist sensors (£410), adjustable door mirrors and folding (£235), metallic paint (£655) 4 year Audi warranty (£560)…… Then u’ll arrive to £52000 (RM260k) inc. of 20% VAT so the car price should be around RM208k. Add10% for sales tax (which is still applicable), shipment cost, ‘dealers profit’ then that you’ll get the price assuming the spec is the same and moderate profit taken (10-15%) by the dealers and EON, price should be around RM250-270k. . Dont think it will be any lower… or else it ll undercut A4 sales. Let’ see how much the dealers are making when the spec is published.
So tempted to get one of this babe, hence went survey around about this…all went very well, suddenly got saddened by 1 comment..battery warranty – 3 yrs and worst..it will cost 300,000 taiwanese yuan (RM 30k) to replace one. WTH..my wife’s Prius is costing less than RM10K to get a new batt…worth to wait for Euromobil to feed me the replacement batt info before action !!
Expensive !!! Camry Hybrid Better !!!
This is good news!, with audi bringing this to the market, bmw and merc will follow the fray hence more competition = cheaper price. it will definitley change the pricing of premium sedans here in malaysia
So…how much does it cost to replace the battery n how about warranty for it?
Wishful thinking – an Audi A4 1.8 TFSI Hybrid!
When will this 100% duty exemption end? Can this B9 able to enjoy it?

Intro special price RM195K only for the first 50 CNY Wish Lists?
Who want to buy a FWD hybrid at 288k, gilakah!!!
Me.
From my understanding, this is FWD car. So any FWD car should be below 200k.
The reason is no matter how good engineering, setting and etc, it would never beat the handling, the grip and the feel of RWD car.
But if you are looking for comfort and prestige then go for it Audi A6 hybrid or 2.0.
Handling wise, there are other cheaper and good options of new car such as BMW 3 series, Merc C Class, Audi A4 Quattro(AWD), Toyota GT86, Golf R(AWD).
FWD got torque steer, not matter how good they eliminate or reduce the torque steer, it is still there. And other mechanical reason why FWD can’t drive as good as RWD or AWD.
your are very wrong. Audi A4 is FWD at 230K. Passat cc is a FWD. A6 2.0t is a FWD at 345K. there are many luxury cars are FWD iin the market.
Exactly any FWD price above 200k is just waste of money.(if you’re looking for a good handling car).
The cheap version of A4 230k, A6 345k are FWD and it is not quattro(AWD) and it is plain waste of money. But prestige there is.
Same goes with your Passat CC. The passat CC or A6 3.0L which is 400k++ is quattro or AWD. Have better handling.
It is simply you are an idiot or an idiot. I wrote any FWD price above 200k is worth less for their handling. Be it cheap Audi, Passat CC, Merc B Class, Ford Focus, Accord V6 are limited in their handling.
1st if you go to “school” then you know. Then if you drive your car FAST in track and track tested all the above mentioned car then you know.
Other than that, you are just an internet reader.
what cockery is this ~
Can never understand the mentality of rwd = premium. Driving a fwd has its benefits too, especially in winter countries. Plus its actually easier to drive in traffic. There’s a reason why saab and citroen championed the fwd movement. That said, they werent exactly successful.
Anyone test drove it yet ?
I test drove in Singapore, A6 hybrid is a very powerful car and you won’t feel the car was started because too quiet (actually no sound)
Thanks whk9988. Anyone out there has the specs of the car or both the RM280K or the RM288K ? I was told that they are including LED Head Lights, Comfort Access, 18 inch rims and Sun Roof with the RM288K package. It seems that they can also change the seat colour, the rims and a bose sound system but you will have to wait for that.
yup its true, 5 colours available and two seats black or grey,
BOSE is 5K extra, 5K for reverse camera and 3k for comfort key,
Most cars are coming with full specs but if you customize then have to wait.
RM288k included LED headlights, Sunroof, Comfort keys, GPS, Reverse camera but excluded insurance.
this car will seriously attract those who initially planned to get E class or 5 series..its crazy, just add a battery and voila! u get instant savings of RM80k-RM100k. shows how distorted car prices are due to the crazy taxes..
