KUALA LUMPUR: The new generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class line-up, which was launched in Malaysia in February as a fully-imported model, is now available in locally assembled (CKD) form.
The new CKD C 200 Avantgarde Line is priced at RM287,888 (on-the-road without insurance), down by RM12,000 from RM299,888 previously.
The CKD C 300 AMG Line is priced at RM327,888, a drop of RM17,000 from RM344,888 previously.
Assembled in Pekan, Pahang, the C-Class features sporty appearance and performance, rounded off by a comfortable and spacious cabin.
It also gets a host of luxurious amenities as well as hi-tech mulitmedia and driving assistance.
All variants come with a central star with the design and character of the radiator grille differing in the details.
The C 200 is equipped with Avantgarde line exterior, 18-inch wheels and a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine offering 204hp and 300Nm of torque.
The C 300, meanwhile, gets an AMG Line trim, 19-inch wheels and a more powerful 2.0-litre turbocharged engine delivering 258hp and 400Nm of torque.
Both engines are also aided by an electric motor with 15kW and 200Nm of torque for additional push.
The C 200 does the 0-100kph sprint in 7.3 seconds to a top speed of 246kph, while the C 300 is quicker at 6 seconds with a maximum speed of 250kph.
Inside, the C-Class hints at premium styling cues from the S-Class flagship sedan.
The dashboard and central display are driver-focused and slightly tilted towards the driver by six degrees.
It features a high-resolution 12.3-inch free-standing driver display, setting it apart from traditional cockpits with classic round dials.
The vehicle is equipped with the latest generation MBUX (NTG 7) with MBUX Navigation Premium, 11.9-inch central display with touch control, and a life-like voice assistant.
Other cabin highlights include Artico man-made leather upholstery, fingerprint scanner, front wireless charging, premium ambient lighting, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration package.
Mercedes-Benz Malaysia CEO and president Sagree Sardien said the company was confident that the localised C-Class would be well accepted by Malaysians.
“We are excited and confident to continue the success story of our best-selling model in Malaysia,” she said.
Mercedes-Benz Malaysia vice-president, sales & marketing Michael Jopp said the C-Class appeals greatly to its customers because it is known for its comfort, technology, space and design.
“These two new additions to our local production line are testament of our commitment to further expand our local foothold and increased investment in the local automotive sector. The C-Class is truly one-of-a-kind,” he said.
