CKD 2022 Mercedes-AMG A35 Sedan teased ahead of its launch in Malaysia

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has dropped a new teaser, with a cryptic message that says, “Silence will soon be broken.”

Now, they haven’t actually said what model it is (hence the teaser), but one of the hashtags used by the company mentioned #MercedesAMG.

Thus, the teaser could be pointing towards the locally-assembled (CKD) Mercedes-AMG A35 Sedan, as evident from its signature LED daytime running lights (DRLs). The grille also looks like the one on the A35 Sedan. 

Further adding to that notion is the fact that some Mercedes-Benz dealers in Malaysia have begun accepting bookings for the new locally-assembled performance sedan. The earlier model was imported (CBU) from Germany.

The imported (CBU) A35 Sedan is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine that does 306 PS and 400 Nm, mated to a 7-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch automatic transmission. Power is routed to all four wheels via the AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel drive system, enabling the sedan to complete the century sprint in just 4.8 seconds.

With the soon-to-expire SST exemption in place, the CBU A35 Sedan is priced from RM 336,278. It remains to be seen how much cheaper the CKD version will be priced at.

If sedans are not your thing, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia also teased what appears to be the GLA 35 AMG.

Stay tuned.

Oops... Something broke.

Yesterday’s tabling of Budget 2024 proposed for the current service tax rate of 6 percent to be increased to 8 percent. The scope of the new service tax will also be expanded to include logistics, meaning that the cost to transport finished cars and automotive parts will be higher next year. Details on effective implementation date, or guidelines for car workshops are still lacking so we will have to wait for a separate announcement from Customs.

Review: Chery Omoda 5 in Malaysia - Bang-for-buck hero does its best to exorcise ghosts of Chery's past

Something about rising tides and lifting boats paints the picture of the Chinese car industry, and among the pleathora of startup small boats rolling into the vast sea you have your vessels; built on the back of years of trial and error, no doubt buoyed with a full coffer.
