The Mercedes-Benz brand is one that is steeped in tradition. With more than 70 years of history in Malaysia, generations of Malaysians recognize it as the country’s most desired premium car brand. However, that deep rooted tradition also means that the brand must be mindful to not be stuck in the past. Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) can’t continue to operate like it did when Ipoh tin mining tycoons were still around. In 1988, Mercedes-Benz sold less than 500 cars annually here. Today, MBM sells ar

If popular motoring culture has taught us anything, is that it sucks being known as the “entry-level” model. The Viva will be more pariah than a prince to the Myvi. Likewise, it is the same for the Porsche Boxster, or as everyone likes to call it – the “car for those who can’t afford a 911”. Yet, despite the undying love shown by Porsche for the 911, the Boxster plays a bigger part in the company’s history than many fans would care to admit. Not only can you trace the Boxster's lineage all the w

Would you be surprised with the headline? Of course not. It’s just the way things are these days, whether you like it or not. Two out of five (or 40 percent) of Mercedes-Benz cars sold globally are SUV models. Mercedes-Benz sold 2,164,187 cars in 2020 (down 10.3 percent). The figure includes 38,391 units of Smart models, but excluding commercial vans (325,771 units) and trucks. The commercial trucks division has since been spun off as a separate company, Daimler Truck AG, but it is still parked

Since its introduction to the automotive world in 1993, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is one of the most popular small luxury sedan alongside its closest rival, the BMW 3 Series. Mercedes-Benz C-Class The current generation W205 is anything but small, as it has grown in scope and size, approaching the dimensions of the W210 E-Class from 1995. Gone are the blocky looks of the W204; the W205 exudes sexiness with its aerodynamic and rounder lines. With that being said, however, the W205 is 7 years old,

The current W213 generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class finally gets a much needed update. Although it is still a fairly new model (launched in 2017), the E-Class is one of the weaker links in Mercedes-Benz’s model line-up and conversely, it’s the one model where archrival BMW 5 Series has a clear lead over it. The new updated model will address many of the previous car’s weakness. The previous car was criticized for its bland design that’s lacking in its own identity, looking too much like a C-Class.

A recent typology - the science of classification - carried out by Audi shows that China and South Korea are more receptive to autonomous cars on their roads than any other country in the world. Based on the Human Readiness Index (HRI), China records +5.1 while South Korea records +1.2 reading. Spain and Italy leads the way in the European side with a +0.7 reading while countries like Germany, France, the USA, Japan and British are more reserved against driverless cars.
