Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W214) now in Malaysia – two CKD variants, priced from RM356k

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) has officially launched the 10th generation E-Class sedan (W214) for the local market.

The luxury executive sedan is offered in two locally assembled variants: the E200 Avantgarde Line and the E350e AMG Line. Pricing starts from RM355,888 for the former and RM418,888 for the latter.

The E200 features a mild hybrid power that combines a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine delivering 204 hp and 320 Nm with an Integrated Starter-Generator (ISG) providing an additional 17 kW and 205 Nm.

As a result, it is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds and achieving a top speed of 240 km/h.

In contrast, the E350e is driven by a plug-in hybrid setup that produces a healthy total system output of 313 hp and 500 Nm of torque.

According to Mercedes-Benz, this variant can travel up to 118 km and reach a top speed of 140 km/h using electric power supplied by a high-voltage battery with a capacity of 25.4 kWh.

Notably, in addition to the 11 kW AC charger, the E350e also supports fast charging up to 55 kW, which enables the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 20 minutes.

In addition to powertrains, the E200 and E350e also differ quite significantly in appearance and features. As a range topper, the E350e adds a bit of aggressiveness to its look via an AMG Line body kit and 20-inch AMG alloy wheels.

The variant also comes with Digital Light headlights with Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus and a panoramic sunroof.

Inside, the E350e is equipped with the MBUX Superscreen, which is made up of a 12.3-inch driver display, a 14.4-inch touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch passenger display.

The MBUX infotainment system now includes an App Store, allowing users to download various apps such as TikTok, Angry Birds, Zoom, and Webex, to name a few.

For video conferencing apps like Zoom and Webex, users can make calls or record videos using the selfie camera located on the dashboard.

Additionally, music streaming apps like Spotify and Apple Music are now integrated into the MBUX system.

Both variants feature ambient lighting (Active Ambient Lighting in the E350e) that spruces up the front section of the instrument panel as well as the doors.

Furthermore, the E-Class now offers a digital vehicle key function, enabling users to unlock or start the engine using their iPhone or Apple Watch.

Completing the package, the E350e comes standard with a Burmester 4D sound system featuring 21 speakers, including two sound resonating transducers in the backrest of each front seat for acoustic massage.
