The B9 Audi A4 has been given a facelift, three years after making its debut. Unlike the F30 BMW 3 Series and W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which received comprehensive technological and powertrain updates over the years, Ingolstadt’s nip-and-tuck revisions are minimal and appear to be solely cosmetic in nature.
On the outside, you’ll find new front bumpers with faux aluminium inserts in the air intakes, while the S line variants get a sportier design with wedge-shaped air inlets and U-shaped inserts. The “singleframe” grille has also been redesigned, with three-dimensional slats on the S line.
At the rear of the car, the S line variant ditches the previous round twin exhaust pipes for trapezoidal outlets integrated into the rear bumper. For the first time, there’s an S line competition package that throws in a front bumper blade and side skirt inserts finished in selenite grey, a four-ring decal on the rear doors and a more aggressive RS rear spoiler on the Avant wagon. Redesigned wheels range from 16 to 19 inches.
On the inside, S line competition models receive RS carbon fibre trim, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel and black part-leather seats, while S sport seats can be optioned in colours such as magma red. Other features offered as standard in the pack are Audi Sport 19-inch alloys, red brake callipers, sport suspension and LED headlights.
No other changes were mentioned, so expect the A4 to soldier on with the same engines as before – 1.4 and 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol engines and a 2.0 litre turbodiesel, paired to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission. Audi’s quattro permanent all-wheel drive system should also continue to be offered as an option.

expensive VW! pass.
You should be glad its an expensive VW and not an expensive Toyota. At least VW got class. Toyota the world would surely pass.
Audi Malaysia having single digit sales figures per month. That is how bad Audi is and the sales of Audi in Malaysia.
Malaysians know, it is a VW in disguise. Pay RM300k for a mere VW is a joke.
Toyota sales are bad now in Malaysia because it is run by UMW. They have the same type of lazy workers like in GLCs and Putrajaya. Replace them with Mainland people and they will work hard instead of sleeping in opis.
Giving ‘dislike’ to comments about Audi does not make you a better man. Its makes you a desperate one. Go on, dislike my comment if you wish.
Expensive Toyotas (read: Lexus) are better. At least they last longer.
… or their brakes jam and they kill hundreds of people around the world. Oh what a feeling! (when you are dead) … courtesy of Toyota
It’s not the car but the driver’s attitude that cause most accidents. This happened some time ago:
“Dashcam footage has captured the moment a speeding Proton smashed into a Porsche 911 GT3 RS near the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur on May 27.
The footage, captured from a following vehicle, shows a white GT3 RS cruising down the left lane of the highway. Out of nowhere, a Proton speeds into the scene and attempts to overtake the Porsche. However, the driver appears to overreact to the movements of another car, hits the brakes and swerves left into the 911, forcing it into a crash barrier.
As if things couldn’t get any worse for the Proton owner, we’re told that the driver doesn’t have insurance or a license.
The damage sustained to the 911 is definitely repairable but it won’t be cheap. Will a Proton driver be able to afford the repairs? Who knows, but we’re doubtful.
With that in mind, it seems probable that a bank in Malaysia will be handing out a loan to a certain Proton owner in the near future.”
A Proton driver tries to overtake a Porsche becoz he thinks his car is very ‘safe’ and can ‘smoke’ other cars? It’s stupidity like this that kills thousands of people around the world. Courtesy of drivers like Proton owners
Driver punya fault , brand proton pulak yang kena. It may happen to any brand pun, you dun create fail-ry tale pulak.
Topkek
Fairytale? Pls verify the news yourself lah. This happened in Bolehland, not some distant country you never heard of. Don’t you read that i write the driver’s attitude is the main cause? These drivers think that their car is the same ‘class’ with Porsche and tries to outrun other cars whenever they can. When accident happens want to blame the car brakes pulak. Topkek
Last as long as their airbags dun suddenly explodes.
I stay at Johor, all B9 I saw was Singapore plate, basically no J plate on the road these two years, failure brand
That only means you are not as smart as the Singaporean.
Excuse me, what car are u driving?
When they need ron97 they go to JB, sinjanpork mentality
More like a pricelift….
They think they too awesome so only need cosmetic changes…oh wait didn’t their CEO got arrested for emission cheating? Better luck next time Audi AG.
Audi in Malaysia is as good as dead.
and yet plenty of audis spotted on our road. this means that malaysians find audis desirable, but the local distributor is crap, so people buy recond.
Audi is a good car just like other German counterpart BUT here in M’sia, it failed to live up to it’s reputation. Why Audi why?! Ah I know, john mesti tahu sebab dia “expert”
Audi FWD vs the rest RWD
Because Audi is a friend of a tow truck in Malaysia
The only radical part for this facelift is front bumper design. It is hard to compete with c class, s60 and upcoming 3 series.
VW, BMW, Audi & Merc… All is good car & the bad one is our people dont have enough knowledge in their technology to service & repair it.. This is what TDM fight for.. Widely available in Malaysia Vs Limited knowledge in car technology = Failed Market
Previous government
implement education policies to encourage and lower passing mark to allow students to get more A’s , B’s and less F9 in public examinations
So the A1 graders are somehow B1 graders actually.
The real A1 graders mostly study ,work and live in overseas .
If real deserving A1 graders are actually A1 and not B1 graders then we have more knowledgeable and understanding people in the making instead of them driving more Perodua MYVI on the roads,
CX3 is better and feels more Premium than A4
Audi cannot sell , the lower end Mazda can sell slightly better
Cx3>Audi>Boyue>Volvo
I thought Audi Malaysia is dead. Their presence here is close to zero especially when they are launching new models years after its world debut. Their last hurrah here was the Audi A6 Hybrid and since then was on a decline up to today. Even Lexus is doing better than them!
