Audi A5 Sportback rivals the C-Class and 3 Series

The Malaysian Government recently announced that sales tax on CBU vehicles would be discounted by 50%, meaning Audi’s range of fully-imported vehicles will be coming down in price by about 5%. But don’t wait until the end of the year to decide. Here is why. The immediate rivals to this fully imported Audi Sportback is the local assembled Mercedes-Benz C-300 AMG at RM304,888 and also the local assembled BMW 330e M Sport at 288,800.

Both the Benz and BMW do not have all wheel drive like the Audi quattro and it is know fact that a fully imported car like the Audi A5 quattro has better build quality and materials used. Yes, the Audi is more expensive, but that is the price of a higher specification vehicle and the ‘imported from Germany’ feel.

For this June only, Euromobil is offering interest rates as low as 0% on selected models. And if you’re looking for that one car that combines sports car athleticism with the elegance and functionality of a sedan, you have to take a look at the A5 Sportback.

The Audi A5 family is all about sportiness, athletic ability and avant-garde design. The Sportback brings a dash of practicality to the model line by taking coupé elements such as frameless windows and a sloping roofline, and adding 2 additional doors and a tailgate for ease of access. Audi have also given the A5 Sportback design enhancements that give it a unique character. Note the shoulder line, which extends across the length of the vehicle, forming a 3D wave. Another highlight is the flat front end with a low and wide version of the Singleframe grille. Right above that is the A5’s powerdome-inspired hood, which signals the potency of the engine. In Malaysia, the Audi A5 Sportback comes with 19” multi-spoke alloy wheels finished in silver. Sequential turn indicators and an ultra-modern LED daytime running light pattern cement Audi’s futuristic design philosophy on the A5.

Plus, you have paddle shifters to manually operate the 7-speed dual clutch transmission. This makes it a great for fun weekend drives, and if the trip involves a lot of luggage, the 480-litre boot is more than able to accommodate. This boot space can be extended further by tumbling the rear seats. Ease of loading and unloading is guaranteed, as the tailgate can be unlatched electronically using the key fob.
