About 8 years ago, there was a commercial by Mercedes-Benz that showcased the Magic Body Control in the S-Class using a chicken. I personally thought it was a brilliant marketing exercise. Jaguar even came up with a cheeky response, which fuelled a friendly ad war. Now, the purpose of that video is to draw a parallel to the “magic carpet” ride quality in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. However, it seems that this sought-after quality isn’t found in the majority of contemporary Mercedes-Benzes, even if said Mercedes-Benz features air suspension. I’ve been rather critical of the ride quality of recent Mercedes-Benzes regardless of the suspension type – passive, adaptive, or air – whether it’s the C300 , A250 , or E350e . My feedback ranges from “it’s alright” to “my head is bopping up and down, is this the same company who made chicken commercial?” That is, until I’ve driven this – the 2021  Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 . And I found that the attributes most of us associate Mercedes-Benz to (maybe used to) are present in the GLE 450; it’s wafty and has the sense of heft from the way the doors close to the way it drives.

BMW X5 – Overview BMW Malaysia has made quite an impact with the BMW X5 series with the introduction of the previous-generation X5 Hybrid back in 2016. Thanks to generous incentives under the Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) classification and other corporate-led investments, the F15-generation X5 could be had under RM 390,000, a significant reduction compared to the 3.0-litre-engined variant priced at over RM 570,000. The sales success created by the plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) convinced BMW Malaysia that PHEV powertrain is well-accepted and also the direction forward for the brand in Malaysia. The new-generation G05 X5 xDrive45e M Sport was introduced after the launch of the petrol-only xDrive40i in 2020. The initial first batch of BMW X5 2020 was imported from BMW USA located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA. Thanks to the experience in negotiating on the pricing of locally-assembled hybrid models, the xDrive45e M Sport has a price of RM 434,377.45 in Malaysia, much lower than the xDrive40i at RM 618,800, which has its importation from BMW USA discontinued since. Direct competitor with electrified BMW X5 is the Volvo XC90 T8, priced from RM 391,150 while the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 has seen its price reduced to RM 475,501 after switching to local-assembly. The fully-imported Audi Q7 3.0TFSI meanwhile is priced at RM 599,900. Meanwhile, Lexus only offers the RX300 and it is priced from RM 424,187. BMW Malaysia is also the biggest supporter of building and expanding the electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Malaysia through their partnership with ChargEV. As of April 2021, there are 319 individual charging points with a mix of 3.7 kW or 22 kW power delivery.

Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé Overview Few other creations in the motoring world divides opinion more than the inception of the Coupé SUV. Pioneered by the BMW X6, the idea of trimming off the roof from a practical SUV for a more desirable coupé-like silhouette is nothing short of an abomination to some, but well received by many others. Automakers, including Mercedes-Benz, soon jumps onto the band wagon of the niche Coupé SUV segment, first with the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé, which made its appearance in the Jurassic World movie, and soon with the smaller Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé. In 2019, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia introduced the facelifted C253 GLC Coupé in the sole GLC 300 Coupé AMG Line trim. Based on the same platform that underpins the Mercedes-Benz GLC, the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé is essentially the SUV equivalent to the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé, with two extra rear doors. Locally assembled in Malaysia, the facelifted model features revised exterior and updated interior equipment. Prices starts from RM 403,536 (OTR without insurance and 0 % sales tax) and rivals the likes of BMW X4, Audi Q5 Sportback and the Range Rover Evoque. In June 2022, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia introduced a PHEV into this line of cars. The  Mercedes-Benz GLC 300e 4MATIC Coupe is similarly put together in Pekan, and following the end of SST exemptions, is priced at  RM398,888, while the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 Coupe AMG Line is now priced at RM426,888.
