Locally Assembled Mercedes-Benz C-Class Now Available

The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is now available in Malaysia as a locally assembled model, following its official earlier this year. The Mercedes-Benz production facility in Pekan, Pahang produces 2 variants for sale i.e. C 200 Avantgarde Line and C 300 AMG Line.

The new C-Class features enhanced sporty design elements with a combination of short front overhang, long wheelbase and rear overhang. The brand’s signature radiator grille characterises the front with all models featuring a central star, but with differentiation coming from radiator grille details. At the rear, the design is typical of a Mercedes-Benz sedan with a distinctive tail lamp styling. The lamps for the first time have a 2-piece design in the C-Class, with the light functions divided between the side wall and boot lid lamps.

The Mercedes-Benz C 200 Avantgarde Line has a radiator grille design with central Mercedes star as well as elegant trim strips in high-sheen aluminium and chrome, with a lowered comfort suspension and 18″ 5-spoke wheels. Meanwhile, the C 300 AMG Line exterior has the Mercedes-Benz pattern grille with the star design in chrome. The body styling of the AMG Line gives this C-Class a sporty touch, complemented with 19″ AMG multi-spoke wheels. Other key highlights include a panoramic sunroof and LED High Performance headlamps with Adaptive High Beam Assist.

On the inside, the new C-Class carries some of the innovation from the flagship S-Class. It is equipped with the latest generation MBUX (NTG 7) with MBUX Navigation Premium. The dashboard features a 12.3″ high-resolution freestanding LCD screen tilted slightly towards the driver. The dashboard is divided into an upper and a lower section, with a wing-like section featuring flattened round vents reminiscent of aircraft engine nacelles. Meanwhile, a high-quality chrome insert divides the center console into a rear, padded section for the armrest and a front section in jet black. Other cabin highlights including fingerprint scanner, front wireless charging, premium ambient lighting and smartphone integration package.
