Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) today launched the new locally assembled Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which will be offered in two variants:
- Mercedes-Benz E 200 Avantgarde – RM326,943
- Mercedes-Benz E 300 AMG Line – RM375,432
Exterior
On the exterior, the new E Class features a sleeker front end with new lights, new grille, as well as new wheel design. At the rear end, we have a new bumper, split tail lamps, and also a new boot lid.
There are two new paint colours as well (grey metallic and high-tech silver) as part of the model refresh.
Interior
Inside, the new E-Class comes with high-gloss black finish, longitudinal-grain aluminium trim elements and surrounds in the E 200 Avantgarde, while the E 300 AMG Line gets open-pore black ash wood trim. Both models get a new multi-function leather steering wheel.
The instrument cluster and the media display are controlled by swiping along the Touch Control buttons. The operating principle of the Touch Control buttons changes from optical to capacitive.
While the E200 Avantgarde’s seats are clad in Artico man-made leather, the E300 AMG Line gets genuine leather.
MBUX
The new E-Class is also equipped with the latest generation of the MBUX multimedia system (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) displayed in the Widescreen Cockpit, which includes two 12.3 inch displays.
In terms of driver assistance, the hands-off recognition now works on a capacitive basis. This enhances user-friendliness when driving in semi-automated mode.
To inform the assistance systems that the driver still has control of the E-Class, a slight steering movement was previously required as feedback.
Driver Assistance
As standard, the E-Class comes with Active Brake Assist, but exclusive to the E 300 AMG Line is the Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC and 360° camera.
The E 300 AMG Line also comes with Driving Assistance package Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active Steering Assist, Active Brake Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist and PRE-SAFE PLUS.
