For the Malaysian market, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) will be offering two variants at launch, namely the E200 Avantgarde and the E300 AMG Line. Both are locally-assembled (CKD) at Mercedes-Benz’s Pekan facility.

Prices start from RM 326,943 for the E200 Avantgarde, while the E300 AMG Line is priced at RM 375,432. Both prices are inclusive of the ongoing SST discounts and are valid until 31-December.

Equipment-wise, the E200 gets the Avantgarde styling pack, LED headlights, 18-inch five twin-spoke alloy wheels, power-adjustable front seats, MBUX infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, Blind Spot Assist, Active Brake Assist (AEB), and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
