The fifth-generation B9 Audi A4 received its second facelift in 2019, and that model is now available for purchase in Malaysia. The refreshed sedan is being offered in a sole variant – advanced 2.0 TFSI quattro – that is priced at RM358,900 on-the-road without insurance and inclusive of a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty. The stated price includes sales tax, but we have asked Audi Malaysia for the price without it and will update this space when we get the information.
Key styling changes that come with the facelift include a lower and wider “singleframe” grille, while a new slip vent is seen between the bonnet and bumper. The latter is a cue we’ve seen before on the latest A1, along with vertical light signatures for the redesigned headlamps and taillights.
Elsewhere, the A4 also sports an entirely new body in white, which is identified by character lines that place greater emphasis on the car’s wheel arches. Unlike its predecessor, there is no longer a single character line that stretches across the car’s sides, while the door handles now have their own line running through them.
Standard exterior features include all-around LED lighting, 18-inch 10-spoke dynamic style alloy wheels in Graphite Grey, 245/40 profile tyres and the advanced trim line package. The last item adds silver trim to the grille, front fog lamp sections and rear bumper, along with rocker panels in the same finish.
As for the interior, the A4 comes with powered sport seats at the front with a memory function for the driver, while the upholstery is a combination of leather and leatherette in a “mono.pur 550” design. Other items include Silver Aluminium Ellipse trim inserts, leatherette trim elements, three-zone climate control, manual sunshades for the rear door windows, a three-spoke leather steering wheel and an ambient lighting system.
On the infotainment front, there’s Audi’s MMI Navigation plus with MMI touch based on Modular Infotainment System 3 (MIB 3), which sees the omission of click wheel/touchpad on the centre console, so you get another storage cubby in the vacant space instead. The new system is linked to a virtual cockpit Plus digital instrument cluster and includes connected services as well as smartphone interface.
In the safety and assistance department, the A4 comes with six airbags, Isofix child seat anchors for the outer rear seats and front passenger seat, hold assist, parking aid Plus with a 360-degree camera and a cruise control system with speed limiter.
Under the bonnet, there’s a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 249 PS (245 hp) from 5,000 to 6,000 rpm and 370 Nm of torque from 1,600 to 4,500 rpm. A seven-speed dual-clutch S tronic transmission sends drive to all wheels via a quattro all-wheel drive system, allowing for a 0-100 km/h time of 5.8 seconds and top speed of 250 km/h – the claimed combined fuel consumption is 7.1 l/100 km. The car rides on comfort suspension with damper control and comes with the Audi drive select system.
We’ve already had a go in the latest A4 when air travel wasn’t restricted due to the pandemic, and if you want to hear our first impressions, our own Jonathan Lee is on hand to fill you in on the details.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Audi A4..the car you need when you’re aiming to be most boring person in your neighborhood
Take it or leave it
Nice but it’s just more sensible to buy a high spec 3 series or a c class for that price. Pity Audi Malaysia service.
DOA, A4 at A5 price
So this A4 have to go up against the W206, what is the surviving rate ?
Why no AEB???
Why bother to bring in with this price?
They fail to plan and plan to fail both together.
Please don’t raise the bar too high Audi. Look at accord and camry when priced close to 200k, they fail miserably.
Audi is just a brand for the ultra-RICH to show off
No, ultra rich dont drive Audi. They drive BMW and Benz. Audi for stupid guy. Do you notice those whi affird and drive Audi during 2010 eras the new A4 b8 and Audi A6 hybrid now all driving BMW and Benz? Im one of them. Yes i see 300k A6 hybrid like a no brainer bargain and booked one in a heart beat. I did that to the 240k Audi A4 b8 as well because it is first to have cool DRL back then. And now, no thanks. I drive bmw and benz. 350k just go for handsome 5 series. Status is there. AUDI now only those old car frm the 2010 gen
the pain of the A6 hybrid owner… will be remembered forever! lol
Not really. I love my audi car. With quattro, it totally driving experience as compared to benz and bmw.
looks great!! hope to see more on the road.
Hmm the cheaper and non volume seller Q2 has Matrix LED as standard but this more expensive fella doesn’t. Audi Singapore aka Malaysia logic at play here.
Yes, quattro but at this price……….we can predict what the sales will be………………..
This looks much better than current B9 premium uncle car
Ridiculous price. Add another 40k and you can buy M340i. Which one will you buy?
lol what are they smoking?
Another highly depreciating waste of time and money.. Really want one, lease it..
I seem that sale volume is never going to be their main concern. Take it or leave it kinda thing. Almost like lexus. The fudge with germans counterpart. i mean look how outnumbered c/3 and e/5 out there. why tho? hmm
