Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) is committed to maintaining the competitive price points for most of its models, especially its core locally assembled models like the A-Class Sedan, GLA, C-Class, GLC, GLC Coupe, E-Class, GLE, and S-Class. This will hold true for the near-term, despite a sharp rise in materials and logistics cost as well as the weakening Ringgit. “For sure we are also affected by the cost of raw materials increasing globally, but fortunately as an organization, we are very well hedg
