Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has announced the confirmed pricing for the locally-assembled (CKD Pekan) 2024 Mercedes-Benz C350e plug-in hybrid (PHEV) in the country, and it is RM 338,888, on-the-road without insurance.

This price is lower than the RM 355k estimate at launch. Subsequently it becomes the range-topping C-Class here, replacing the C300 AMG Line. The price list for the C-Class range in Malaysia is then as follows:

• C200 Avantgarde - RM 292,888
• C350e AMG Line - RM 338,888

The C350e is also more powerful than the model it replaces courtesy of its electrified powertrain. Under the hood is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 204 PS / 320 Nm, which is then paired with a 129 PS / 440 Nm electric motor to yield a total system output of 313 PS and 550 Nm.

Drive is sent to the rear-wheels (RWD) through a 9-speed automatic transmission.

The all-electric driving portion of the powertrain draws from the 25.4 kWh battery that offers a pure EV range of up to 117 km (WLTP), up to 140 km/h. Top speed is a claimed 245 km/h.

Charging the C350e's battery is via 11 kW AC charging, which takes about two hours to full from a three-phase wallbox.

50 kW DC fast charging is not offered at the moment, based on projected usage of the car (mostly urban miles), but Mercedes-Benz Malaysia will continue to observe market conditions.

It also gets the full complement of an AMG Line kit inside and outside, including the Night Package trim.

Warranty package is the standard 4-year, unlimited mileage warranty. The battery is covered by a 6-year, 100,000 km warranty; all-inclusive with the price.
