Booked a Mercedes-Benz EQA? Your EV could arrive as early as April 01

Earlier today, the all-electric (EV) Mercedes-Benz EQA was launched in Malaysia with a sole variant – EQA 250 that is priced at RM 278,201. In a media conference post-launch, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia revealed that deliveries will begin from April onwards.

Michael Jopp, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, said, “First deliveries will start from the second half of April onwards, so we do have the cars (EQA) in the country already. And I would say that the majority of deliveries will happen in the second half of 2022, but deliveries will begin to ramp up from April onwards.”

This suggests that early buyers who have pre-booked the Mercedes-Benz EQA can expect deliveries to begin next month. Following buyers may have theirs delivered after June-2022, which means the EQA's price could see a small bump once the 10 percent SST is reimplemented.
