Mercedes-Benz GLC

The locally-assembled (CKD, Pekan) 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC is now launched in Malaysia. Like the fully-imported (CBU) model, only one variant is offered – GLC 300 AMG Line, which is priced at RM 378,888 (OTR without insurance), making it RM 51k cheaper than the CBU model. Specs wise, the CKD GLC 300 mostly mirrors the CBU version except for the addition of a panoramic sunroof and hands-free access for the tailgate. The GLC 300 is a mild-hybrid (MHEV) and is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre inl

Mercedes-Benz Thailand has launched the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e plug-in hybrid (PHEV). It is locally assembled in the Kingdom and comes in the AMG Dynamic trim, priced at 4,180,000 Baht (around RM 546k). Like the W206 C350e, the GLC 350e has a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that makes 204 PS/320 Nm on its own. An electric motor boosts total output to 313 PS/550 Nm, which is sent to the rear wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. 0-100 km/h is claimed at 6.7 seconds and tops o

To be clear, the headline above doesn’t mean that familiar names like Cycle & Carriage or Hap Seng Star will cease operations. No, the Mercedes-Benz dealers that you are familiar with will continue operating from their existing premises. The difference is that they will soon be re-designated as Mercedes-Benz retail partners, not dealers. In a press statement released earlier this evening, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia said its dealers are expected to transition into a new agency sales model in Septembe

After uploading a teaser last week, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) has just launched the all-new 2023 X254 Mercedes-Benz GLC in the country. Malaysia is the first market in Southeast Asia to launch the latest generation of Mercedes’ best-selling SUV. The X254 GLC is fully-imported (CBU) from Bremen, Germany and is only offered with one variant at launch, the GLC 300 AMG Line which starts from RM 429,888. Local production (CKD) would be announced later but for now, only one variant of the all-new G

The all-new 2023 X254 Mercedes-Benz GLC made its global debut back in June 2022 with an all-electrified range that consists of 3 mild-hybrid (MHEV) and 3 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variants. It comes 7 years after the X253 GLC made its debut. The electrified GLC is available with either petrol or diesel units but given Malaysians' propensity for the former, the diesel units will not likely be offered in Malaysia. Instead, we’ll only focus on the petrol variants. We’ll start with the two petrol-powere

Someone once asked me, “If you could choose only one Mercedes-Benz model from the entire line-up currently – money no object – which would it be?” I paused as rationality took over, reflected on it for a good minute, and still couldn’t give a definitive answer. As much I as adore the charismatic Mercedes-AMG models like the A45 S or E63 S, there are times when I would prefer something that doesn’t draw as much attention, a more discreet engine startup, for instance. The all-electric EQ models, o
