![Still handsome 16 years later: Used B8 Audi A4 from RM 30k, the best generation? 01]()
The B8 Audi A4 is one of the most successful models from Audi, introduced around 15 years ago and still admired today. This generation popularised the modern Daytime Running Light (DRL), a feature now common on practically all new cars today.
Currently, the B8 A4 can be found on our Cars for Sale site for as low as RM 30k. While some view it as a reliable premium sedan, others see it as a potential money pit. With proper knowledge, it could be the bang-for-buck German sedan you’ve always wanted.

The B8 A4 came well-equipped with features like 6 airbags, adaptive headlamps, powered front seats, and adaptive suspension. In 2012, the facelifted B8.5 A4 was introduced with two variants: the 1.8 TFSI and the 2.0 TFSI quattro.
Prices remained similar, but the 1.8 TFSI saw power increases to 170 PS and 320 Nm, while the 2.0 TFSI maintained its performance specs and gained Audi’s quattro AWD system. The B8.5 also featured aesthetic updates and improved systems.
