The Audi A5 Sportback is finally officially available in Malaysia via Euromobil. It comes in facelifted 2.0 TFSI quattro guise, with the S line package as standard, for RM359,900 OTR. Immediate delivery, they say.
The A5 Sportback is a five-door variation of the A5 Coupe, which is related to the A4 Sedan and Avant underneath. Despite the sloping roof, Audi says that the A5 Sportback runs the A4 close on rear head and leg room. The A5 Coupe’s wheelbase has been increased from 2,751 mm to 2,810 mm here. The boot is capable of 480 litres, expandable to 1,283 litres with the rear seats folded.
The 2.0 TFSI engine churns out 225 hp and 350 Nm of torque between 1,500 to 4,500 rpm, which is good for 0-100 km/h in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 245 km/h. The direct injection turbo motor is mated to a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch gearbox. quattro AWD is present. Start/stop equipped, combined fuel consumption is listed as 6.7 litres per 100 km.
Equipment wise, expect perforated Alcantara leather front sports seats with embossed S line logo (memory for driver), multifunction three-spoke steering wheel with shift paddles and S line logo, acoustic parking sensors and auto headlights/wipers. 18-inch alloys, adaptive xenons, LED daytime running lights and LED rear lights are also in the mix.
In addition, the Sportback comes with three-zone climate control, Driver’s Information System (DIS) and Audi drive select. In the latter, there’s a fourth ‘Efficiency’ mode in addition to the familiar ‘Comfort’, ‘Auto’ and ‘Dynamic’ modes. What it does is self-explanatory.
Also standard is the desirable Bang & Olufsen sound system with 10 channel amplifier, 14 speakers and 505 watts total output, but MMI navigation plus is optional. Five body colours – Brilliant Black, Ibis White, Scuba Blue, Monsoon Grey and Brilliant Red – are on the local menu, although we hear that the latter is very popular and might require some patience on the buyer’s part.

This will kill most recond unit
Oh so cheap. I can buy each for my mom, dad, son, daughter and maid, wow!
Save 100k and get the Passat CC better. Passat CC will beat this like makan kacang.
wait till the gearbox on the VW breaks down :)
WOW… damn sexy. but its kinda late though. Nevertheless, Euromobil priced it nicely, so its matter of time when this sexy beauty flood ur street. Was expecting this to cost around RM450K coz coupe is alrdy at RM399k.
Y thumbdown when i speak the truth. Its really cheaper than expected. Of coz its beyond reach from middle income group. But mid high to high income group gt no prob in obtaining this beauty. Usually 4 door will expensive than coupe but in this case, its cheaper.
Lexus ES 250 much better than this kwai tai conti junk with no RV.
RM360K ?? so cheap.
buy then =)
It is only a glorified VW, consider expensive already lah.
Macho
wow! at RM360k, it’s a much better buy compared to the earlier A5 coupe at RM399k. this facelifted sportback is packed with slightly higher power and other goodies too including the B&O sound system. nice… but EM, no thanks! i will go for grey import anytime
Check the review and prices in the UK. It is a lower end car than the a5 coupe
LOL, so easily fooled by euromobil. A real, high-end B&O system should produced over 1000watts, this produced 505watts only, plus MMI Navigation is a whopping 13k extra. No thanks man.
505 watt brah not 1400.
Press release said 1,400 watt, but you’re right, it’s 505. Thanks
Expensive brand but exterior doesnt really look nice to me. For a RM360k car there are many options out there.
then, buy the other that attracts you..
Phony’s car.
What’s the color variant available?
Good car but unfortunately so damn boring to look at. E class coupe so much nicer
Why the thumbs down? You guys can’t swallow the truth?
Even a Mazda 3 is better looking than this.
If you want to try to say that Mazda3 is better than Audi then you will fail.
Comparing a Japanese crap to German engineering? I will not be surprised if you say that the vios is better looking
360k price, 100K go to tax, Thanks a lot to government.
Still looks the same..A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A12……A56
Audi lED daytime lights is always awesome. Very impressive audio system with with 10 channel amplifier and 14 speakers.
it’s expensive but lovely though
Audi priced it to match with 328i GT which has lesser spec compared to this.
But they should have made the S-Line optional so the price will be much more tempting to the customers.
Are they bringing in the A3 sedan?
Cannot match Pronton Suprina!
I tried Suprima, it’s better than this Audi
Looks like you really know about cars bro
Its a nice looking car, a baby A7 sort of. But it kinda fits into a very niche market. Major competition is the 3 Series GT, which is cheaper, as long as you dont have to look at it (its hideous in my eyes). Another competition, though not in the same class, but having a similar price tag is the facelifted E200 CGI.
I want S-series please!
It’s worth noting that this car is a derivative of the A5 is derived from the A4, so I think the price is a tad steep, rear legroom appears to be poor. However, the B&O sound system is standard. The interior is also similar to the old Audi A6 (C6).
This is so Cheap. I preferred BMW 535.
E200 CGI new = RM366,888, New A5 = RM359,900 OTR, Let see how both car price behave after 60 months on the road.
E200 is all together a different class from a5. It’s bigger and its a merc.
Cannot compare lah old mans car
how much is the MMI navigation cost?
nice car but too expensive, contis despite it superior status symbol are totally unreliable. enjoy your workshop visits..
Went to Euromobile showroom in Glenmarie today to see the A5 Sportback. No doubt it is a beauty indeed. With recond units 2012 selling in the market for 320k I would go for the new car. No test drive unit as it was used in an event. So test driven the Audi A4 instead. Fully loaded spec going for 235k and a 4% cash rebate. A very tempting offer. Keep my options open untill I try the A5 Sportback.
MR Sam still insist on his toyota and now slightly upgrade to lexus.
