Verdict
The Audi A6 4K asks RM589,900 against the Audi A6 4G’s RM336,900, a RM253,000 jump that buys far more than a facelift. Its 340 hp, 500 Nm V6 and all-wheel drive cut the 0-100 km/h time from 8.3 to 5.1 seconds, while Matrix LED lamps, pre sense front and a 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen system materially move the cabin and safety brief on. The trade-off for Malaysian ownership is stark: road tax rises from RM372 to RM2,118 yearly, and claimed consumption goes from 6.4 to 7.2 L/100 km. The 4G remains the sensible used executive sedan if outright pace is not the brief.
Pick the Audi A6 4G if you want the lower RM372 annual road tax, 6.4 L/100 km claimed economy and the same 530-litre boot for far less money.
Pick the Audi A6 4K if you want 340 hp, 500 Nm, all-wheel drive and substantially newer active-safety hardware.

4G vs 4K FAQ
Is the Audi A6 4G or Audi A6 4K better?
The Audi A6 4K is the more capable car, with 340 hp, 500 Nm, all-wheel drive, a 5.1-second 0-100 km/h time and active safety systems. The 4G is the rational choice for lower purchase cost, road tax and claimed fuel use.
What is the price difference?
The Audi A6 4K costs RM253,000 more than the Audi A6 4G. That gap brings 160 hp and 180 Nm more, all-wheel drive, a dual-clutch gearbox, Matrix LED headlamps, pre sense front and a 16-speaker audio system.
Which A6 has lower running costs?
The Audi A6 4G has the lower claimed fuel figure at 6.4 L/100 km versus 7.2 L/100 km, and annual road tax is RM372 rather than RM2,118. Both are petrol-powered executive sedans with similar 65- and 63-litre tanks.
Which has the better warranty?
The 4K carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty against 2 years for the 4G.
