Audi Malaysia officially launched the new Audi TT in the heart of Kuala Lumpur today. The third-generation coupe makes its local debut in a sole 2.0 TFSI variant, priced at RM284,900 on-the-road with GST, without insurance. Audi Malaysia? Yes, Audi AG is now in Malaysia, taking over the wheel from DRB-Hicom subsidiary Euromobil, which will remain as a four rings dealer. More on this later.
The third-generation Audi TT made its debut at last year’s Geneva show, 16 years after the iconic Schreyer-penned Typ 8N shocked the car world. The Mk2 was first seen in 2006, and is a pretty common sight in Malaysia thanks to grey importers.
Measuring 4,180 mm long, the new TT coupe (besides the Roadster, Audi has plans to expand the TT range to include Sportback and possibly “SUV” models) is almost the same length as its predecessor (longer by just 2 mm), but the wheelbase has grown by 37 mm to 2,505 mm, which translates to shorter overhangs. The coupe also a little narrower at 1,837 mm but is no taller than before at 1,353 mm.
Immediately recognisable as a TT, the shape of the latest one is an evolution of the Mk2, but with Audi’s new family face. The hexagonal grille is broader and flatter than before, and sharp contours from its top corners run in a V across the hood, which bears the four Audi rings – no longer inside the grille. The sharp headlamps house xenons and distinctive LED DRLs, and the wheels are 18-inch items with 245/40 rubber.
At the back, a spoiler extends from the trunk lid to improve both air resistance and downforce at 120 km/h, with a very narrow third brake light strip positioned under the edge of it. The LED graphics of the tail lamps mirror their front counterparts, while two large round exhaust pipes are reminiscent of the original TT.
For a more aggressive outlook, the S line package (optional, around RM30k depending on how many boxes you tick) adds on a sharper front bumper (air intakes not connected), sportier sills (not fully straight) and rear diffuser (wider, with mesh design), together with 19-inch wheels (!) and a body that sits 10 mm lower. Also optional are Matrix LED headlamps, for RM9,000.
The two doors open to a minimalist dashboard with the TT’s trademark circular air vents (Mk1 started the trend). The sleek look was made possible by the deletion of the central MMI screen, which is now combined with the instrument cluster to form the Audi virtual cockpit, an impressive 12.3-inch TFT LCD panel with navigation and 3D maps. Further removing clutter are the air con controls, which reside within the turbine-style air vents. Very clean, very cool.
By the way, the car gets MMI radio with MMI Touch as standard, and MMI navigation is available as an option. Elsewhere, the standard Alcantara/leather sports seats in the new TT have integrated head restraints and are positioned lower than in the old car. They are also over five kgs lighter. S line customers get a two-tone interior with contrasting stitching.
The Mk3 TT, which sits on the VW Group’s versatile MQB platform (also underpins the Mk7 Golf and Audi A3 in Malaysia), is around 50 kg lighter than the car it replaces, weighing in at just 1,335 kg for the 2.0 TFSI. The side sills and roof frame are made of extruded aluminum profiles integrated into the structure using cast aluminium nodes. Also in the aluminium are the side sections, roof, hood, doors and trunk lid.
That’s not much weight for the 2.0 TFSI engine’s 230 hp and 370 Nm (from 1,600 to 4,300 rpm) to pull. Paired to a six-speed S tronic dual-clutch gearbox with steering paddles, the FWD coupe does the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 5.9 seconds before hitting 250 km/h.
On the back of this, fuel consumption of 6.3 litres per 100 km is very good indeed. There’s start-stop, and in the “efficiency” mode of Audi drive select, the S tronic goes into freewheel when your foot is off the gas pedal. Speaking of Audi drive select, it also controls the optional Audi magnetic ride adaptive damper control system, which lets one choose between Comfort, Auto and Dynamic settings.
Also optional is a Bang & Olufsen sound system with a 14-channel amplifier and 12 speakers. The B&O’s woofers in the doors gleam in the dark thanks to an adjustable, discrete light conductor. Yours for RM3,000 extra.
The new Audi TT is priced at RM284,900 on-the-road with GST, without insurance. The warranty is four years or 120,000 km, whichever comes first. Plenty of options for you to tick (find out what they are as well as the list of 10 available colours for the car at Carbase.my), so max price is entirely up to you, Mr. Daredevil.
Audi TT
Audi TT with S line package
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Superb car and as usual way too expensive bez profit margin is 300% +++++again speechless
From 355k to 285k ??? all the current owner can jump from twin tower or Penang bridge.
This is how the glorified VW treat their royal customer.
Beause previous is S Line package?
and this is normal package?
Toyota 86 can smoke this easily.
Crap! Tonnes of low lifes that drive whether a Proton or Toyota were busy talking sh*t here.
My 3 Lexus at home and a 86 can any times have better RV than this junk. Camry hybrid sales 171, my commission enough for me to get another L460 Lexus next month. You better work hard.
You can try and you’ll find it yourself.
Of course it can smoke TT. It can smoke the exhaust fume left by TT at a traffic light drag race
How is that possible? The Toyota 86 makes 200PS and 205Nm. Its not going to beat the TT on a straight line, but on a cornering maybe it will catchup as its RWD vs FWD on the TT. The TT costing about RM36K more seems like a better built car compared to the 86 which has basic features except for its premium price tag.
PS: Anyone noticed the 86 has been removed from UMW Toyota website? It is already end of sale? That bad huh?
Errr..? U mean toyota 86 with twin charge turbo mod? Damn! U have no knowledge at all
u know why? because new TT got only 4star euro ancap
Price are set by MiTi and not VW. Please don’t simply bash.
hahaha..so previous car they set at 355k, this car they set at 285K? MITI did a uturn?
i think DRB-Hicom was trying to reap profits… n when Audi came in, the price sort of reflects reality check n a modest/good margin.. not crazy margin like DRB
You are getting a detuned and entry level TT – catering to a different segment altogether. Having said that 285K is still expensive!!!
many boxes to tick. Each tick count GST, prices also sky high. Both G and dealers are so tamak.
Undercutting BMW 328i price and around same price as Mini Cooper. Sounds like a steal…
Being sportscar shape with 5.9sec 0-100km/h, this is quite a good bargain; just top up a bit from some sportskura-kura from ordinary brands.
Even better if it is RWD.
Now, many ordinary folks can have a swift ‘sportscar’ from a luxurius brand. It is cantiq and sporty in blue.
Hey… wait a minute… RM 285k? Am I missing something… the old one was listed at RM 355k onwards but that’s a quattro. That RM 285k is just above the RCZ’s RM 271k for the auto. Of course this this badge is better… Dilemma…
Bro the RCZ’s pricing in Malaysia is a joke. In the UK you could get the RCZ R for the price of a mid spec TT like this.
Not bad, the pricing considering that Euromobil sold the previous TT for around RM350k. A big welcome to Audi Malaysia. But why only 2+2 year warranty? I do believe Volvo Car Malaysia is still the benchmark to beat; 5+5+5. Buckle up Germans!
u sure its 2+2 the warranty not full 4 yrs manufacturer warranty like merc? damn….is vw group trying to lie again??? somebody knows the real thruth?
why say so? what do u mean lie again?
Nice…price also okay and that new 12″ panel is included in the price I assume?
The other optional extras are not really necessary actually.
I wouldnt mind topping up RM3k to upgrade the sound system with gleaming lights in the dark! cool :)
The Virtual Cockpit is standard on all models. The Matrix LEDs is a must for the new Audis. They just look brilliant
The old car with similar equipment was 355k.
Goes to show how much Euromobil squeezed us. Good on you Audi Malaysia.
Now for the juicy details on the new Audi Malaysia…
Not to mention the second hand car dealers are crying now since brand new under RM300k so pre reg and second hand prices will be even cheaper. We’re benefiting here as customers!
Recon sellers be like…….
GG.com.my la
lol..havent used that term since my college days..anyway its pretty sad that we’re delighted by a sight of anything that benefits us as consumers..shows that how bad we’re screwed by everything that surrounds us
Its Euromobil, no surprises there.
it is Audi Malaysia now dude. The principle has came into Malaysia just like VW group but they appoint distributor or dealer to sell. The warranty is set by principle not distributor or dealer, unless like last time Euromobil as they are sole distributor and principle not exist here.
wow, nice car
Hmm, where are the obligatory sexy female models standing beside this car?
Yes. I echo some voices here that it is considered a good starting price point for this car considering how much more expensive it was previously.
My pick will be the head lights and sound system. I think the hint is pretty obvious here that the sport aesthetic package is not really worth the extra.
Just a FWD poser car.
This car main target is lady, yes basically is a poser car.
this “poser” car can do 2.40s in Sepang
Cheaper than a 370Z but this car has no identity
LOL, you compare this to a japanese junk? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO
I have a question for all readers, I know they a different class but since its in the same price range, would you pick this or the 420i?
thumbs upp for this, down for 420i
420i all the way babe..RWD FTW!
Only Rm 3K extra for bang & olusen option thats CHEAP. I most definitely tick that option if i get this car. For an Audi A6 its a Rm 30k option.
Audi is all about headlights… so who ever buy this car please tick that RM9k matrix headlight option. You already buying the chicken, don’t skimp on the onions.
Please tell me she is wet…. I mean the dual-clutch gearbox…
This car passenger get nothing, will boring sitting inside the car /.\ BAD!
Only driver can feel it very fantastic, bcoz all media in on the 12′ panel, cant share with others. GOOD!
PS: I just like the Exterior especially the front and rear light (Thumb Up!) , interior quite nice but I feel dissapointed with media, so I can say this car 1seat enough already~
fantastic mid console interior.. I just want the aircon knob design. Simplicity!
I saw an engine logo at the instrument cluster…is that normal?
Beautiful cabin interior !! gonna sell cooper s buy this..
2015-Audi-TT-2.0-TFSI-9.jpg
Is that what I think it is? :-P
Good price for the TT.. Which means there is a chance a good price for the 4 doors sportback too..if audi decided to build it
Not complaining but just curious, why is this 285k when the previous gen was selling for 350k?
Its launched by Audi AG..not DRB hicom, they probably want to ensure success by lowering margins. To the mother company, volume is more important then high margins, previously Euromobil just wanted to make as much margin as possible
You want to know why???? BECAUSE AUDI SALES IS BAD !!!! Audi = VW = price drop king. Passat now only RM 10xK
Every car also facing depreciate problem~ So just deal with it. Badmouthing just wont many any changes.
keep blaming and bashing on social media doesn’t work. call sc, make an appointment, go there, check and fixed. settled. like we got fever and went to clinic, see doctor, taking medicine and recover from ill.
Last gen more exp probably becoz of Quattro as opposed to current using front wheel drive?
even previous gen are FWD la…
Just a golf gti with a fancy body panel and interior..#hairdressercar #hewhew
erm…yes. Similar platform (but that’s the trend, most car makers are moving towards that to save cost) but trust me, the quality, interior and “feel” is so much better than the GTI. If Audi is a souped up VW, it would have sold mor ethan 1.7 mil units in 2014. In fact, it outsold Merc at 1.6 plus mil.
I just bought one.
But i don’t like it.
I’m selling it off at half the price.
You want? Call me.
What is your number?
How to reach u
Went to audi glenmarie today..sit
The ONLY FULL SPEC CAR WAS LOCKED.
And it supposed to be an open house today.
SO are CUSTOMERS SUPPOSED TO PEER IN TO SEE THE HIGH SPEC CAR..VERY DISAPOINTING.
Reason was that display car had been sold.
Howevert
Went to Euromobil Glenmarie yesterday.
They actually locked the high spec show car…because they had sold it.
Reflects very poorly on Euromobil.
Imagine if all car companies were so eager to make a sale,show cars would be locked up the moment somebody decides to buy it.Why couldnt they hold on.Dont sell your show car when it is just launched..unless you have another similar one.
Euromobil were very disrespectful of customers who went there wanting to see the TT.
Audi Malaysia…you have your work cut out,if all your dealers behave like this.
