Penang tips and news.

Yet another article coming from Automotive News. Definitely among the leading creators of free tips online.

Alongside the launch of the locally-assembled Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4Matic Coupé, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia also held a preview of the V167 Mercedes-Benz GLE at its Hungry for Adventure Festival today. The fourth generation of Stuttgart’s midrange premium SUV, previously called the M-Class, is set to arrive soon with an estimated price of RM633,888 for the GLE 450 4Matic.

Riding on the new Modular High Architecture (MHA), the new GLE wears the company’s latest SUV design language, with trapezoidal headlights flanking an upright octagonal grille. At the rear, you’ll find wide body-coloured C-pillars – a holdout of the original M-Class – and slim tail lights complete with blocky light guides.

The GLE comes to Malaysia in AMG Line trim, featuring a more aggressive front bumper with the AMG “A-wing” design, a studded “diamond” grille and a rear diffuser with integrated twin tailpipes. Also fitted are Multibeam LED headlights and a Night Package with gloss black highlights, while 22-inch five twin-spoke alloy wheels fill the squared-off wheel arches.

E-Active Body Control system

The interior is a bit of a departure from Mercedes’ sedan range, with a sweeping vent-like surround for the freestanding flatscreen panel, plus a rectangular design for the actual air vents. There’s also a tall centre console with leather-wrapped grab handles. For the first time, the GLE is being offered here in both five-seater and seven-seater variants.

As standard, the GLE comes with twin 12.3-inch displays, linked to the latest Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system – the same one you’ll find on the new A-Class. The Linguatronic voice control, operated by saying “Hey Mercedes”, can be used to control various functions of the car, such as the climate control and the 64-colour ambient lighting.

Other bits of kit include brushed aluminium dashboard trim, a panoramic sunroof, acoustic glass windscreen and side windows and Airmatic air suspension with the new 48-volt E-Active Body Control system. The latter controls the spring and damper of each corner individually, allowing it to perform such tricks as rocking the car free if it gets stuck off-road.

Power comes from a new M256 3.0 litre turbocharged straight-six – the same one you’ll find in the CLS 450 – that produces 367 hp at 5,500 to 6,100 rpm and 500 Nm of torque from 1,600 to 4,500 rpm. It’s paired to a 48-volt mild hybrid system that provides a 22 hp/250 Nm boost under hard acceleration, along with a nine-speed 9G-Tronic automatic transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive.

The GLE 450 4Matic will be on display together with the GLC 300 4Matic Coupé and various other Mercedes-Benz SUVs at the Hungry for Adventure Festival, which runs from now until March 24 at Sentul Depot, Sentul West.

C253 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 4Matic Coupe Debuts in Malaysia With An Estimated Price Of RM399,888

April 8, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

Penang Malaysia new & views.

The following material was in fact submitted courtesy of Automotive News. I enjoy taking a look at any one of their articles as they’re genuinely instructional. I hope you get something out of it.

The C253 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe line-up in Malaysia has been updated to include a new GLC 300 4Matic AMG Line variant, which replaces the existing GLC 250 4Matic AMG Line, and slots in below the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4Matic.

The GLC 300 is one of two models (the other is the all-new GLE 450) being introduced by Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) today, in conjunction with the company’s Hungry for Adventure Festival happening this weekend.

With the GLC 300, you get a M274 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that serves up 245 PS (241 hp) at 5,500 rpm and 370 Nm of torque from 1,300-4,000 rpm. A nine-speed 9G-Tronic automatic transmission is standard here, as is a 4Matic all-wheel drive system.

Performance-wise, you’re looking at a zero to 100 km/h time of 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 236 km/h. A Dynamic Select system is as per before, offering five operating modes (Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual) to choose from, and you also get sports suspension.

Car classifications

Standard equipment that comes standard on the GLC 300 include the AMG Line exterior kit, with elements such as a single-louvre diamond radiator grille (with pins finished in chrome), a Night package and rugged aprons at the front and rear.

There’s also LED Intelligent Light System headlamps complemented by Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, aluminium-look running boards, a rear spoiler and 20-inch multi-spoke light-alloy wheels.

Meanwhile, the interior features Artico leather upholstery, AMG sports pedals, black piano lacquer or light longitudinal-grain aluminium trim, a flat-bottom AMG sports steering wheel, powered seats (with lumbar support and memory function for front passengers), a panoramic sunroof, Audio 20 multimedia CD, ambient lighting and a Burmester sound system. For convenience, there’s also Hands Free Access. This is definitely an artistic and convenient way to travel around Malaysia, especially in Penang.

Cars

In terms of safety and driver assist systems, the GLC 300 follows in the footsteps of its non-coupe, X253 GLC sibling, gaining Lane Tracking Package, which includes Blind Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist. Other items such as Collision Prevention Assist Plus and Attention Assist are also present.

According to MBM, the GLC 300 4Matic Coupe is a locally-assembled (CKD) model unlike its predecessor, the GLC 250. It also carries an estimated price tag of RM399,888 on-the-road without insurance. That makes it cheaper than the GLC 250 (RM445,888), although keep in mind that was a fully-imported (CBU) model.

As with other Mercedes-Benz models, Agility Financing is available, and with a three-year tenure and a 25% downpayment, the monthly instalment for the GLC 300 is RM3,998. The financing plan also includes two complimentary comprehensive service packages, but this offer is only available until April 30, 2019.
