Audi Malaysia has introduced new Tech Pack variants
for the B9 Audi A4 range in Malaysia, which allows customers to order any A4
variant with Tech Pack items, including the Audi Virtual Cockpit. The company
is also offering the new variants at special introductory prices while stocks
last.
For the entry-level 1.4 TFSI, going the Tech Pack
route will set you back RM 243,900 on-the-road without insurance, which is an
additional RM 25,000 on top of the standard retail price (RM 218,900). That extra
sum nets you the 12.3-inch Audi Virtual Cockpit, MMI Navigation plus
infotainment system, Audi smartphone interface, Audi connect and a reverse
camera.
Next up, we arrive at the 2.0 TFSI that currently
goes for RM 248,900, without any options. Previously, customers were able to
order one with either the Tech Pack or S line package (not both), each costing
an extra RM 25,000 on top of the base price.
You can order the 2.0 TFSI S line +
Tech Pack, which gets both packages for RM 298,900. As you’d expect, the S line
package introduces more aggressive-looking bumpers, 18-inch five twin-spoke
“Star” design alloy wheels, illuminated door sill trims with aluminium inlays,
Alcantara/leather front seats in black and an S line sport steering wheel.
Items within the Tech Pack are identical to what was
available previously, including the Audi Virtual Cockpit, MMI Navigation plus
infotainment system, Audi smartphone interface, Audi connect and a reverse
camera. An extra bit of kit for Tech Pack variants with the 2.0 TFSI engine are
Matrix LED headlamps (with dynamic indicators), which aren’t fitted to the 1.4
TFSI Tech Pack.
Lastly, we arrive at the range-topping 2.0 TFSI
quattro S line Tech Pack that retails for RM 334,900, representing a RM 20,000
premium over the regular retail price (RM 314,900). The variant already comes
standard with some of the items found in the Tech Pack – MMI Navigation plus
infotainment system, Audi smartphone interface and Audi connect – but now gains
Matrix LED taillights and a more advanced Bang & Olufsen 3D Sound System.
The oily bits on all variants remain unchanged from
before, with the 1.4 TFSI being powered by a 1.4 litre direct-injected
four-cylinder turbo petrol engine that develops 150 hp and 250 Nm of torque.
Moving up the range, the 2.0 TFSI gets has a larger 2.0 unit that makes 190 hp
and 320 Nm, while the 2.0 TFSI quattro has 252 hp and 370 Nm at its disposal.
All engines are paired with a seven-speed S tronic
wet dual-clutch gearbox, with drive being directed to the front wheels, save
for the quattro, which gets a permanent all-wheel drive system.
Performance-wise, the 2.0 TFSI quattro will hit the 100 km/h mark from a
standstill in just 5.8 seconds, followed by the 2.0 TFSI (7.3 seconds) and 1.4
TFSI (8.5 seconds).
Audi Malaysia is offering
the new Tech Pack variants at special introductory prices, with the A4 1.4 TFSI
Tech pack being priced at RM 224,900 (RM 19,000 less), the Audi A4 2.0 TFSI S
line + Tech Pack at RM 274,900 (RM 24,000 less) and the 2.0 TFSI quattro Tech
Pack at RM 314,900 (RM 20,000 less).
All purchases come with a five-year/unlimited
mileage warranty, which was announced back in April this year. The warranty is
an improvement from the previous four-year/120,000 km manufacturer’s warranty
package.
