The Audi RS5 Sportback is yet another model to receive updates to its pricing and kit list in Malaysia after PHS Automotive’s appointment as the new official distributor of Audi cars earlier this month.
As with other RS models in the local line-up, the powertrain in the RS5 Sportback remains unchanged. Shared with the RS4 Avant, the setup consists of a 2.9 litre biturbo V6 petrol engine producing 450 PS (444 hp) from 5,700-6,700 rpm and 600 Nm of torque from 1,900-5,000 rpm.
An eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive system (with sports differential) are responsible for getting power to all four wheels, allowing for a 0-100 km/h time of 3.9 seconds as well as a top speed that is capped at 280 km/h.
Returning goodies include an RS sports exhaust system, RS sports suspension Plus with Dynamic Ride Control, fine Nappa leather upholstery, 20-inch five-arm flag style forged alloys, gloss black badging and emblems, matrix LED headlamps with dynamic turn signals, Audi drive select, MMI Navigation plus with MMI touch, a Bang & Olufsen sound system as well as the glossy black appearance package.
Changes to the kit list, according to the latest spec sheet, include the removal of carbon exterior mirror housings, Audi pre sense basic (pre sense rear is still standard), lane change assistant (there’s lane change and departure warning instead). You do get adaptive cruise control as a new feature instead of the previous passive-only system.
The RS5 Sportback was introduced at a time when the SST exemption was still in effect and sold for RM726,863 on-the-road without insurance then. With the exemption gone and the minor updates, the svelte fastback now goes for RM809,655. The asking price includes a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, three years free maintenance as well as five years roadside assistance.

Nice motor. But ridicolously over-priced. BMW & Benz have compelling quality competition at prices 20% less than this. Euro-Mobil does not have the Servicing & Maintenance capability this kind of automobile needs… and deserves. I don’t know about the Japanese owned facility in Setia Alam.
S5 when?
May not comes here since it less power & more expensive road tax.
This is so ridiculously priced. You can buy 2 BMW M340i which is a brilliant fast car, for this price and still have leftover change. LOL. Good luck selling this car although I guess for people with too much money for their own good can buy them.
Those very rich VVIP..what is Rm800,000 to them?
Chicken feed.
These are just toys to them.
Definitely nice car which wrongly priced by EM.
