Audi e-tron EV Range For Malaysia Unveiled
Distributor PHS Automotive Malaysia (PHSAM) has unveiled the Audi e-tron range of EVs for Malaysia. The fully electric e-trons will make their debut in Malaysia soon, and bookings are being accepted now for the Audi Q8 e-tron range which includes SUV and Sportback variants and the e-tron GT in quattro and RS versions.
The new Q8 e-tron range is expected to retail between RM369,000 and RM476,000. Meanwhile, the e-tron GT quattro is expected to retail between RM559,000 and RM643,000, while the performance RS e-tron GT is open for booking with an estimated price range between RM749,000 and RM769,000.
Audi began its electromobility journey in 2018, and the Q8 e-tron now sets new standards in the electric luxury-SUV segment. The top-of-the-line electric SUV and sportback boasts improved aerodynamics, a higher charging performance for its 114 kWh battery and an increased driving range of up to 600 kilometres.
Its key highlights include all-new singleframe projector lighting, new digital matrix LED headlights and virtual exterior mirrors, a world’s first for an EV. Furthermore, Malaysia will be among the first countries in Asia to receive the new Q8 e-tron following the release of the first production of 2023 units to market.
Meanwhile, the award-winning e-tron GT coupé reinterprets the classic idea of the gran turismo. With its emotive design and revolutionary technology, it is a technical work of art offering practicality and long distance capability of up to 501 kilometres. Power is immediate, with the RS e-tron GT achieving a century run in 3.3 seconds. The e-tron GT also boasts Audi’s groundbreaking electric quattro, steel brakes with tungsten carbide coating for more durability, and a carbon roof (for the e-tron GT with Dynamic Package and RS variant).
“The e-tron range has been purpose-built inside-out with only the best performance in mind. It reinforces Audi’s identity as a pioneer for the future and a perfect showcase of Audi’s technological aspirations. I am very delighted to announce that the full range of Audi e-tron – including SUV, sportback and RS model will be in market within the next few months,” said Erik Winter, Managing Director of PHSAM, who is confident that the high-performance luxury e-tron models will deliver an exceptional drive experience for owners.
In the run-up to the e-tron range official launch in mid-2023, Audi Malaysia is already developing various aftersales service and warranty programmes specifically planned for the electric range, to enhance its customer loyalty, confidence, and experience. All Audi service technicians have and will continue to undergo hours of training, assessment, and certification as part of Audi’s EV entry into the Malaysian market.
For a limited time, you can check out the Audi RS e-tron GT Audi’s showrooms in Glenmarie, Juru and Setia Alam. It will also be on display at the upcoming Audi Showcase at 1Utama Shopping Centre happening from 22 to 26 February 2023.
