Mercedes-Benz expects some of its existing vehicle manufacturing plants to be retooled to produce only fully electric vehicles by the second half of this decade, but it will not be spending money to build new, EV-only plants. "Building a whole new battery-electric vehicle factory takes time. We have taken another approach,” said production chief Joerg Burzer in an interview with Reuters. "We will certainly have some lines producing only electric vehicles in the next few years ... we also see who

One of the most asked questions posed in our forum and Facebook group is “What car should I get if I earn RM xxx?”. If you decide on buying a new car, you won’t have many choices especially if you earn around RM 4k a month. Malaysians aren’t quite as blessed with options as some of our neighbours but if you want variety, then the used car market is your only option. It’s a near-endless smorgasbord of choices with really tempting prices. Also read: Indonesians get more choices than us - Toyota Ra

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) is in a strong position to capitalize on the sales and services tax (SST) cut extension.

The Z223 generation 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class made its world premiere last week at the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show. Based on the V223 generation S-Class, Mercedes-Benz’s latest flagship sedan benefits from a 18 cm longer wheelbase, itself already 11 cm longer than the standard wheelbase W223 S-Class. As before, the rear doors are unique to the Maybach, necessitated by its longer wheelbase. For the first time ever for a Maybach, the rear doors close automatically, and we are not talking about so

A battle older than time itself – BMW 3 Series against the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Although the BMW 3 Series has been with us for a longer time through 7 generations from 1975 (5 generations for the Merc, from 1982), the C-Class certainly gave and is still giving the 3 Series a run for its money. For a time, the common knowledge when it comes to these two is that the 3 Series provides a sportier drive while the C-Class is a more relaxing and comfortable car to be in. Now though, it’s not as strai
