For many, getting a brand-new Mercedes-Benz is a dream, and the appeal of having a three-pointed star on one’s driveway is a symbol that they’ve made it. However, cars lose value the moment they leave the showroom floor and it is an unavoidable circumstance even for a Mercedes. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible to enjoy your brand-new Mercedes without worrying about the value being lost every time you hit the road. Thankfully, Mercedes-Benz Services Malaysia (MBSM) has the solution with Agility+

Despite the policy U-turn by the European Union to exempt carbon-neutral synthetic fuels (also known as e-fuels) from the trade bloc’s 2035 ban on combustion engines, Mercedes-Benz will maintain its course to phase out combustion engines in favour of battery EVs. When asked by German business publication Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung if Mercedes-Benz welcomes the EU’s exemption of combustion engines running on carbon neutral e-fuels from the 2035 ban, CEO Ola Kallenius said “I think technology

The next-generation electric vehicles (EV) by Mercedes-Benz, set to arrive at the end of 2024, will reportedly drop the EQ brand name, according to the German daily Handelsblatt.

Tesla is the poster child when it comes to electric vehicles (EVs) to the point that some might overlook better alternatives out there. One of them is the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250 and I know some of you might be thinking, “It’s just an electric GLA”. But the EQA is more than just a GLA with an electric motor; it’s a no-brainer kind of electric SUV. It’s an EV that feels and drives like its internal combustion engine (ICE) sibling with a few more redeeming qualities. As such, you’re not too overwhel

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia reckons that although Thailand appears to be ahead of the region in terms of policies to boost EV adoption and localization, Malaysia is still more or less on par. “If you are talking about localizing efforts or sales, I think both countries have an equal opportunity at the end of the day to showcase electric vehicles. I would say right now they are more or less on par, in terms of bringing more electric vehicle models, in terms of sales adoption, so let’s wait and see how

The Mercedes-Benz EQA may not be built on a dedicated EV-only platform like the EVA platform Mercedes-Benz EQS, which also means that in the hierarchy of EVs, the EQA has less appeal than Hyundai’s Ioniq 5, at least that what EV fans say. But you can’t argue against the three-pointed star and what the EQA lacks in technological superiority, it makes up for it with brand image and credibility in the bank’s priority customer’s parking. For some, things like this matter more than how great the EV p

In early 2020, before Covid-19 hit and Russia hadn’t attacked Ukraine, makers of electric vehicles (EVs) were optimistic that prices of batteries will come down and reach cost parity of with combustion engine cars by 2025. Today, no one believes in that message anymore. In the near-term, prices of EVs will go up, not down. Consulting firm AlixPartners say that between 2020 to 2022, the cost of raw materials to build an EV has gone up by 144 percent. Yes, inflationary pressure, higher energy cost
