The prices are for the extra equipment - that cool looking instrument cluster and some tech bits (which includes B&O sound for the Quattro models) of which full details you can read below. 

Special Introductory Prices for the Tech Pack A4 variants 
 At this moment, the Audi A4 1.4 TFSI Tech pack, Audi A4 2.0 TFSI S line + Tech pack as well as the Audi A4 2.0 TFSI quattro Tech pack will enjoy a special introductory price of RM 224,900, RM 274,900 and RM 314,900 respectively for vehicles that are 100% assembled at Audi’s flagship production plant in Ingolstadt, Germany and enjoy a 5 year unlimited mileage warranty. 

The unlimited mileage warranty looks like a very good deal for a premium brand. The Audi A4s are also fully imported units and the prices seem pretty reasonable considering the Audi A4s are fully imported.
