The writings on the wall for Mercedes-Benz’s slow-selling models, as the company aims to axe at least seven models from their ever-growing line-up. According to Autonews, Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Nicholas Speeks told dealers during a web conference back in June that they will be removing seven models from the US market, though the exact models were not mentioned. The models that could be discontinued in the near future include coupe and convertible variants of the C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, as well

Introduced at the tail end of 2013, the current generation W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is approaching the end of its lifecycle and its replacement, the W206, will be due soon. Russian automotive site, Kolesa, generated a rendering based on the spyshots and footages we’ve seen so far. The next-generation W206 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is expected to ride on a revised version of the Modular Rear Architecture (MRA) platform that made its debut in the current W205 generation C-Class.

Berdasarkan imej ‘spyshot’ Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206, kami di WapCar telah mengambil sedikit masa untuk membuka camo secara digital. Mengikut garisan dan lekukan badan serapat original, imej lakaran C-Class ini nampak sebijik macam adik Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Tapi ini bukan perkara yang menghairankan, kerana sekian lamanya Mercedes-Benz memang dah biasa mengadaptasikan tema reka bentuk dari segmen yang lebih besar untuk yang lebih kecil. Setelah sekian lamanya dengan Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205

Based on photographs of a camouflaged 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206,we decided to have a go at peeling back the camo digitally. Following the body lines as closely as we could, the rendering slowly unveiled itself to be a shrunken Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Mercedes-Benz cars have always adopted a familial look and cars from the smaller segment take styling cues from the larger segment. 2021 will see the W206 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, a much needed update for the 2014 W205 C-Class.

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe facelift has made its global debut, with a reworked front fascia and a host of new technologies. The front end gets a similar look to the recently revealed sedan counterpart. Gone are the dual-eyebrow LED DRLs, replaced by single L-shaped DRLs. The grille and bumper are also redesigned. The AMG E53 gets more aggresive bumper and 'Panamericana' vertical slats on the grille. Over to the rear, it is largely unchanged from before apart from new LED tail lights. L

Berikut ialah wajah pertama Mercedes-Benz C-class yang akan datang. Daripada intipan ini, ia kelihatan agak serupa dengan lakaran yang pernah dilakukan oleh artisan sebelum ini. Bentuk lampu hadapan juga mirip Mercedes-Benz S-Class generasi baharu yang baru didebut pada minggu lepas. Sekiranya ia masih memegang imej “baby S-Class”, lampu belakang juga mungkin kelihatan selari seperti Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Melihat kepada reka bentuk bampar dan gril, ini mungkin model C-Class dalam trim Avantgard

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is rather long in the tooth. The current W205 generation was first launched in Malaysia in September 2014, and a replacement is overdue. Both the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Volvo S60 have since moved on to new generation platform models. To keep it competitive, the aging W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class was recently given a mid-life update in 2018. What’s the price of the W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class facelift? Prices range from RM 259,888 to RM 304,888 for the locally-assembled

Mercedes-Benz C-Class generasi W205 sekarang sudah berada di pasaran sejak tahun 2014. Kami ingat lagi sewaktu ia tertiris pada lewat tahun 2013, satu dunia terpesona kerana ia nampak cukup mewah. Malah ketika itu, ia kelihatan seperti S-Class versi kompak. 7 tahun kemudian, sudah tiba masanya untuk generasi baharu beransur. Baru-baru ini, tertular foto mengenai C-Class generasi baru tanpa sebarang penyamaran. Set foto yang diperlihatkan ini nampak seperti tujuan pengiklanan sebaik sahaja ia mem

Seen here is a spyshot of the all-new (W206) Mercedes-Benz C-Class without any camouflage. From the looks of it, renderings of the W206 C-Class appear rather similar. The shape of the headlamps does resemble the recently unveiled W223 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Should it follow the footsteps of its predecessor and adopt the “baby S-Class” look, the taillamp design is likely to be horizontal as well. And judging from the design of the bumper and the grille, we could be looking at the Avantgarde trim

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 new Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe facelift has just been launched in Malaysia alongside its regular SUV sibling the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, minus a slopping roofline. As before, the GLC Coupe is locally-assembled but this time around, there’s no AMG 43 variant. Instead, the new GLC Coupe is only available as a single AMG Line variant, the GLC 300 Coupe 4Matic.

The future is all about electric and self-driving cars, and Mercedes-Benz wants to invest heavily in the tech. Mercedes-Benz (or Daimler), require huge finances, and to do that they need to cut cost elsewhere. According to an interview with Autonews, This could mean potential elimination of few models such as Mercedes S-Class Coupe & Cabriolet, G-Class SUV and AMG GT from the line-up, including several existing powertrains, especially the V-12 engine due to the introduction of strict Euro 7 emis

The problem with Facebook’s newsfeed’s algorithms is that it feeds you what other like-minded people are seeing, rightly or wrongly. Worse, many see the comments section as a source of information. Very quickly, our society has become one that is fragmented into groups that speak only within each other’s echo chambers – each seeing what they want to see and hearing what they want to hear, with Facebook serving as a massive amplifier of confirmation biases. This is why fringe beliefs are becoming

Mercedes-Benz C-Class The W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is an aging fighter in the luxury car market, and a replacement is long overdue. Launched way back in 2014, the W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class was given a major mid-life update in 2018, with an all-new engine and 9-speed 9G-Tronic transmission for the C200 and C300 variant, along with a new dual digital display in the cabin. You would think that being a Mercedes-Benz, comfort would be its forte, but that’s no longer the case with today’s Mercedes-

In the current W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, some have criticized the floating screen mounted above the air vents, saying that it looks out of place or as if someone just stuck an iPad on it. Well, that appears to be no longer the case for the upcoming W206 C-Class as seen in this spy shot. Many parts of the car are covered, like the door cards, a portion of the dashboard, and even the logo. But what makes this recognizable as a Mercedes-Benz are the instrument cluster with a horizontal screen and

Mercedes-Benz C-Class generasi W206 baru sahaja diperkenalkan semalam. Seperti generasi sebelum ini, ia masih memegang falsafah rekaan bak baby S-Class. Eksterior Untuk generasi kali ini, kesemua varian datang dengan lambang Mercedes-Benz di gril. Tiada lagi lencana kemegahan yang digemari oleh pakcik-pakcik masjid. Bercakap mengenai gril, varian AMG Line datang dengan sisik yang berlambang Mercedes-Benz. Unik kan? Tema “baby S-Class” turut diterapkan pada bahagian belakang melalui rekaan lampu

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has launched the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 4Matic Coupe, priced at RM 661,009 (OTR without insurance, with SST incentive).

它来了,就在它证实亮相的前几天,全新的2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Clas(W206)已经现身网路,光彩照人了。就在上周末,The Automobilist的Facebook主页上发布了这些照片,让我们得以目睹这款全新的紧凑行政轿车的风采。 回顾一下,全新的C-Class原定于在2021年2月23号晚上9点(大马时间)举行线上的全球发布会。 总体而言,从外观上来看,W206 C-Class看起来就像是迷你版的W223 S-Class。对于一些人来说,它确实有些难以分辨,但从尺寸上就能够清楚地区分出两者,因为C-Class要比同家族的旗舰级轿车小得多。 从这些流出的照片来看,这辆C-Class应该是Avantgarde版。我们之所以这么认为,是因为车子的进气格栅并没有使用三芒星图案,这与之前放出的宣传影片是不同的。同时,车子的造型上也看不出任何AMG Line的装饰。 对了,那个引擎盖上的标志性立标也不会出现在新款C-Class上。 我们不仅能清楚地看到W206的外观,这个法国汽车网站也分享了内装的照片。如果你不喜欢到处都是触控荧幕的内装,那么你最好别看照片了。 与同家族的

It is all but confirmed – the all-new 2021 (W206) Mercedes-Benz C-Class will solely feature a 4-cylinder engine in all variants, even the AMG models, reports Car and Driver. There will be different levels of electrification to boost outputs, such as 48-volt mid-hybrid variants as well as plug-in hybrids. The engine will be paired exclusively to Mercedes’ own 9-speed automatic transmission. Why no more 6- or 8-cylinder engines? The biggest factor contributing to this would be the ever-increasing

With a sleek fastback silhouette and coupe-style frameless doors, the VW Arteon is one of a kind. Priced at RM 221,065 (without SST, applicable until 31-Dec 2020), there’s nothing else in the market at this price point. The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe has been temporarily discontinued, pending arrival of the new generation model (yet to be announced) but even when it does, it will be priced closer to RM 400,000. The Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 sits one segment too high and has an asking price of over RM 5

Exterior The 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W206) looks sharper than its predecessor, with slimmer headlamps and taillamps. The front grille is now A-shaped, which appears more aggressive.
