Mercedes-Benz has officially launched the all new W212 E-Class for the local market. The company did not only unveil the sedan version but the coupe variant as well. My first impression after looking at the real thing is that pictures don’t do the car justice. It looks better in real life. A total of three models are available and two of them are from the coupe family.
The sedan front is made up by the locally assembled E 300 Avantgarde that features a 3.0 litre gasoline V6 that outputs 231hp at 6,000 revs and 300Nm of torque between 2500 revs and 5000 revs. The engine is mated to a 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission. This Avantgarde model comes equipped with bi-xenon headlamps with the Intelligent Light System, LED daytime running lights, 17-inch allow wheels in a five-twin-spoke design, a lowered suspension, ambient lighting as well as an instrument cluster treated to a sporty tubular design. There are also different bumpers and a chrome-plated radiator grille with three high-gloss, black louvres.
The E300 Avantgarde also comes with ATTENTION ASSIST which is a drowsiness detection system. This system observes the driver’s steering behavior and will then warn him or her. Other standard safety features include eight airbags and PRE-SAFE which will takes preventive protective measures if the system detects a potential hazardous situation.
The Adaptive High Beam Assist uses a camera on the windscreen to recognize oncoming traffic and will automatically dip the beam. Once the road ahead is clear, the system will switch the high-beam back on. There is also a DIRECT CONTROL system that controls the shock absorbers to adapt to different driving situations. If it detects that the driver is driving in a spirited fashion it will switch to maximum damping effect or reduce damping effect during normal driving.
Inside, the seats feature padded seat piping which involves the insertion of an additional foam filling under the fabric or leather cover to help improve comfort. There is also a multi zone THERMOTRONIC climate control system that allows individual settings for three zones including for the driver, front passenger and rear passengers. It also has three ‘climatisation’ modes including ‘Diffuse’, ‘Medium’ and ‘Focus’. Mercedes-Benz has also added BlueEFFICIENCY measures to help reduce fuel consumption.
These include low-resistance tires as well as energy-saving control of the alternator, fuel pump, air conditioning compressor and power steering. Basically these parts will only be used only when needed. The new E-Class also has a low drag coefficient of 0.25. It also has automatically adjustable fan louvres that control the airflow to the engine bay in line with the engine’s cooling requirements. All of these will set you back RM 455,888 (OTR without insurance). Mercedes-Benz also revealed that it will introduce the E 200 CGI (which will be the real volume seller for the E-Class) real soon followed by the E 250.
The coupe family is made up by the E 250 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY Coupe and the E 350 Coupe. Both of these models are fully imported. The former is able to output 204hp and 310Nm of torque between 2000 revs and 4300 revs from its 4-cylinder engine while the V6 engine in the latter is able to crank out 272hp and 350Nm of torque between 2400 revs and 5000 revs.
The E-Class Coupe in Malaysia comes standard with the AMG Sports package that includes an AMG front apron with large air intakes, AMG side skirts and an AMG rear apron with a black insert. There are also 18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels in a 6 twin-spoke design with wide-base tires in size 235/40 R 18 at the front and 255/35 R 18 at the rear, sports suspension with a stiffer spring, shock absorber and stabiliser setup combined with large, perforated brake discs at the front as well as brake callipers with Mercedes-Benz lettering. It also has a sports speed sensitive steering with a more direct ratio.
The E 250 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY Coupe goes for RM 458,888 while the E 350 Coupe demands a whopping RM 666,888.

Well no words to comment nor anything just Breathtaking
True…it looks better in real life
NO1!!!!
The W212 coupe looks good man!!!!
im the first…… wuf
1st to comment hehe…. 1 word to describe: EXPENSIVE!!!!
can see cannot own =(
Sweet looking cars….even sweeter looking prices…
I really like the new E. Classic angular lines gets contemporary for the 21st century – all the better to fight off the new BMW 5, which is too conservative. So beautiful, I could just make love to this car.
its just getting better!
FINALLY, it has arrived!
The coupe looks gd man!! I like it!!!
You can get 7 Fortes, one for each day of the week with that amount. hehe.
Finally it has arrived!!!!! Have been waiting for it since i saw it in the Singapore showroom.
how long the waiting list???
i remember last year or 2007 my uncle book E class wait about 1 year to get the car, he told me bought 600k, now only 458k??
or maybe he mean 600k for 2… cos he also bought a C class for his son (only 20++) WTF…
the price of the e350 coupe is just crazy, i can get a bmw 335i or audi S5 for that kind of money…
@mazda 3 MPS
kid, u hv insufficient car knowledge; & no in-depth over perspectives of cars; be it market trends, technical, forms & functions, market levels & positionings, price structure & taxes, etc etc etc etc.
seemingly u r just judging cars by look, which is also very much personal preferences.
not here, go somewhere outside, the playground & play…
Hmm i wonder what happened to the rest of the range for the sedan. In singapore they get E200 CGI, E250CGI, E300 E350 and E63 AMG.
Whoa…. the coupe is just smoking…. beautiful beautiful car….. and yea Mr MPS why do u sound so surprised at the price of the coupe? It's a Mercedes…. and yea the 335i and the S5 is in the same market segment…. u make it sound like the Coupe's price is from another planet…. just different appeal to different customers….

——————————–
i can't think of a reason why would anyone buy the coupe over the 335i or Audi S5? because of the merc's crazy price? inferior plastics? slower engine? heavier body?
OMG!!!!!
so beautiful!!!!
the red one is soooo ferocious~!!!
roaaarrrrr~~
:D
i saw the coupe been driven here in australia and it look good.. and it doesn't cost more then 100k AUD… (do not convert just compare it dollar to dollar)
Imagine if this car would cost you 70k MYR? I think penoreh getah pun pakai mercedes pergi toreh getah right?
So not to let those unfortunate people drive mercedes or bmw, so we mark up the price up to half million… so cleverrrrrrrr
This Merc is a babe. :)
Omg,this is so much more awesome compared to the new BMW 5 series!!
taillights PHAILED…
To Mazda 3 MPS, mind you, that's the best model now, I would say even better than the 335i and the S5. Regarding the price, its really worth the money because importing a S5 is not easy or cost efficient. So please for future comments, do not speak without knowing the facts. Furthermore, slower engines ?, heavier body ? come on, its got the latest technologies which is far from what they use in bmw's or Audi's. Lastly, do not underestimate mercedes because as far as I see they are doing better than Audi and BMW. Kudos Mercedes.
delicious!
wow.. 7 star design!

oh really? where did you get your facts from as they sound like a fairy tale. pfft, still these cars are overpriced. i'd rather get a NISSAN GT-R. it's both technologically and mechanically advanced, it's way faster and cheaper.
compare this design with the new 5…the 5 doesnt stand a chance

This is e coupe is much better in overall compared to 335 that looks so boring. S5 is a good contender, but e coupe has much more wow effect. No one will be looking at 335 when the eye-candy e coupe is beside it. GTR = performance, not prestige. Stop condemning mercedes, make social research. Ask your grandma or aunt, they will tell u that e coupe is better!
Just blame the Asian FTA to protect the proton & perodua if not the price won't go that high,tax almost double the price
Nicer than 5 Series…… :D IMHO
Double star Price, Tri-star Design, Four star Comfort, Five star Luxury
beauty e-couple . ……. … !!!!! i love it !1
damn, 400k plus…..and to think it only cost 100 plus k across the causeway.
no worries though, alot of towkay will buy it, and we will see this on the road quite frequently. so even if we cant own it, we can still ogle at it.
this E really nice…my uncle book one already since last year.
Gear lever at steering? will confuse with signal .. haha ..
Abselutely fantastic..this is amazing design and for the first look..this is masterpiece of elegant.
the coupe is just melecun!!
dpt mainan dier pun jd lah..

well your grandma and aunt has no taste….
Am totally blown away..!..i mean..saw it on many sites a few months back and had mixed feelings about these new batch of E's,except for the coupe version..but somehow or rather all of the E class Mercs featured here looks insanely beautiful.!..In looks department,hands down…better than the new 5 series..! (Which oddly resembles very close to the 7 series and at a glance looks like a beefed up 3 series…sigh)
i was wondering what stuff they use to make the car shine like that.
this blueEfficiency model or version,
its an option or there is another E250/350 WITHOUT that blueEfficiency thingy?
i mean, if there is, then price kinda lower than 450k kot…
the 5 series is way better than this e-class
I knw I might get into trouble saying this, but I think i have to let it out anyway. I honestly think that the new E series looks ugly. First of all the front look Kia Optima-ish, the rear looks Sanngyyong Chairman and the sidelines look Honda Accord-ish..
I dont knw, I think the E-class has always been the cash cow and one of the best selling models for Mercedes, however all this while it seems to attract too many fathers.
off course before this they have been trendsetters, but i somehow think that they have succumbed to a more Asian design rather than maintaining their own identity and principal. perhaps they are eying the young upper middle class in asia since there is a growing number everyday..
At times when BMW 5 series is looking more matured, the volvo s80 looks stunningly bold, and off course the audi S80 is gaining grounds. I have a feeling that this model might have lost its appeal with the 'fathers' market.
its only my hunch, but think about it…
WTF if it wasnt proton, this goodies would be alot more affordable to own. damn!
e-coupe!

but not to maintain , unless u make ur own parts.
The 5 series is better looking than this, especially the rear-end. The E-class' rear-end is too much like a Camry, doesn't look special at all.
This is much better than the All New Beemer 5.
I think it looks a lot more modern compared to the outgoing model whilst still retaining its exec image. And for the first time, I think it looks better that the 5-series. I like… Wonder if it drives better than the 5-series…
The coupe looks really-really nice, but the saloon is just plain vanilla; just like the new beemer 5. So its still gonna be down to which is the better car, not the better looking car… my money is on the beemer being a better car…
If I were an old/conservative rich uncle, I will buy this car.
The meter cluster is reminiscent of the old w123 and w124…
Beautiful cars but I think the amg front on the coupe is better ….
i dunno if its something wrong with my eye, but the new design for me is so un'merc'. the front & rear designs really reminds me of some korean cars…i'd go for bmw if i hv the $$
Saw the new Merc being driven into C&C Pee Jay…awesome sight.
A really nice car.

well it ain't cheap to maintain a proton either, if it is even worth maintaining it=)
Avantgarde grills for the sedan will look way better!
wow the red one….
What will be the price of the Mercedes Model E250 and when will be the launching in Penang kindly email to me TQ
Sigh… Still can't afford this brand new Merc…. :(
I give myself at least another 3 years before I can own this "E"… :)
If can't tahan with "E" temptation then I have to let go my Wish & Swift now laaa…. he he he
Over here in Penang, got a lot of hawkers and fisherman drive Merc & BMW…
Even penoreh getah nowadays are rich thanks to rising price of rubber… Never underestimate ppl…
It takes approx 4 months on the waiting list if you book like…now!
Btw, returning one of the comment on the "fathers' market". Yes, definitely MB is reaching its hands out to the younger generation… it has to! The brand has to start capturing younger audience.
stfodude.
mercedes in contrast has a cheaper maintenance packages as compared to bmw, audi and even volvo. volvo's strategy is by selling their cars cheaper (as what we ourselves could see) but maintenance that surely rip u off.
i think by comparison, all new F10 BMW 5 series and new e class sedan, the latter looks better, but not the e-coupe! coupe is stunning, especially if its painted with that "bronzey" colour seen on the first pic
To Mazda 3 MPS, I'll be really honest with you. In other words, you suck! If you don't know anything about mercedes or any other car manufacturer for god's sake SHUT THE HELL UP!!!! And by the way where on earth did you get your ridiculous facts ? A nissan GTR is a supercar not a luxury coupe! Realise what you are saying before you post your comments. And above all of that you're the only person that has no taste. You are nothing else than one of those so-called jerks. Do your own research before condemning other people. Bloody hell !!!

lol i rest my case. this shows how "civilized" mercedes-benz drivers are.Well, would anyone here rather have a luxury coupe(Audi S5, BMW 335i) over a SUPERCAR(Nissan GT-R, Ferrari 458 Italia)? Research eh? What research have YOU done? Well what do i know about Mercedes? Their reliability is a joke, their plastics are as bad as a Hyundai, their service centre is full of lazy buggers, their cars are overpriced, their design team died ever since Bruno Sacco left, their engines are less fuel efficient yet less powerful compared to engines from other makes, apparently it is so hard for them to supply 4-matic to their right handed drive cars espcially the GLK which is nonexistent in countries where people drive on the wrong side of the road.
Paul,
Any idea when the E200 and E250 will be launching? I heard from the SA that E200 will be launched next month?
Hate the design of the front, dashboard and the shape, and the price are hell too expensive, liked the old model more

Well, I am one of the people you are describing up there. To answer your question, it is simple, I am just loaded. Luxury cars are status, comfortable and eye-catching.
a boring car
if you are a loaded conservative uncle, why do you need an eye-catching car? to attract desperate 18 year old girls who would do anything for money?

My next target is the Maserati GranTurismo. Lol, you know the uncles' spirit well, nothing much to chase after besides luxury cars, 18-year-old girls, luxury watches, luxury homes, and anything to do with luxury.
Hmm…. I like the front end but the rear reminds me of Hyundai Sonata and the 7th gen Honda Accord! Looks like Mercedes caught the Honda bug, lovely at front but once you seen the rear, wth….
Anyway, my money(and booking) still maintained on the BMW F10 535i(finance minister does not approved the 530d due to dirty pump handle, noisy engine,have to queue with lorry &bus,etc…).
Sorry Mercedes!
Merc shamelessly copied Audi's LED styling!
To Mazda 3 MPS, whatever you said is utter BULLSHIT ! That's why I said from the beginning do your bloody research and you will know that all you bloody facts are a piece of crap. And plastics ? how about BMW then ? their interior is dull like a deserted island. The speedometer design has been the same for the past emm shall I say FOREVER!!! Mind you, this current model has better fuel consumption and more power than a bmw. Look at the bloody specs on each manufacturers website. How on earth can you compare a HYUNDAI and a MERCEDES !! Are you in the right state of mind ??? Reliability a joke ? You might want to recall the problem when BMW first started selling their cars in cameron highlands as taxis. Their cars would not start because of the climate and all them got chopped up in the potong kereta. Do you call that reliability ? As I would like to call it Mr. Softy. Mercedes benz is reknowned worlwide for their reliability. Just because their past models gone through some technical issues does not mean their reliability is a joke ! That's why for god's sake do you BLOODY research !!!!
NIce car but assemble at Pekan, Pahang. You can compare the difference between local assemble car ( mat rempit as plant operator ) and CBU car. You can get the result after 1 year.
the design not appealing to me.
frankly, F10 is much more attractive.

well i think that HYUNDAI is better than your mercedes, i think more MERCS have gone into the chop shops than BMW'S….worlwide recognition, that's the same case as toyota, known for reliability, but rubbish. What Car? magazine often complaints about the problems which their Toyota Auris is giving them. Reliable eh? By the way since you like doing research so much, go to the university, hand in your thesis of Mercedes Benz and get your doctorate in "MERCEDES IS THE BEST, THAT'S BECAUSE I'M A MERCEDES-BENZ SALESMAN WHO CAME TO PAULTAN.ORG TO RELEASE PROPAGANDA AND RUIN THE REPUTATION OF BMW AND AUDI"
To Mazda 3 MPS, for your information I am not a mercedes-benz salesman nor am I here to ruin Audi Or BMW's reputation. I am just commenting based on the facts i have researched on. No matter how much I tell you about the TRUTH you will not accept it because your mentality is such that you are ANTI-MERCEDES. If toyota has so much reliability problems then why on earth are they are bloody gigantic group ? Answer that, I know you can't because it is undeniable. So future reference do not condemn Mercedes before you get to know them. THATS ALL !!!!!!!!. Sheesh you are so stubborn.

get yourself a mind loser
only E 350 Coupe a bit to pricey
one thing i do not understand. if the gear level is at the steering, what is the one at the normal position for?
This MPS fella has kinda lost it no? Hmmm let's not get personal here but I think Mercs of recent times have improved markedly in quality and all aspects. And yeah the 335i? It looks DRAB. S5 is really well built but I would not walk past the E Coupe to get to the S5. Darn I dunno what's ur beef but research or no research these kinda things are subjective…. haha Bruno Sacco was a great designer, I used to drive a 190E I'd know. But seriously have u NOT SEEN the W204 C Class? It harks back to the old school design lingo. And YES, of course ppl will buy luxo coupes over supercars. Why? Aiyo some ppl just want a lifestyle car as opposed to out and out supercars that aren't practical. I see where u come from with the old supercharged units that sounded coarse but they were powerful and fuel efficient mind. Moreover, there are a slew of CGI engine coming, so watch this space. Reliability? Of course Mercs win hands down. In Germany, the W123s and W124s are STILL used as taxis la bro, they are BOMB-PROFF. U wanna compare reliability with other German makes then it's Audi for comparison, with BMW it's a no brainer. I just think u are one of those wannabe boyracers. Why? MPS? Hmmm…. GT-R? Cheaper than the Coupe? U dreaming ah? U have shown where ur priorities lie but I really think that when u decide to grow up, cars above will make sense to u. Cheerio.
Nice car. I tested the e350 sedan. damn powerful but not so comfy over speed bump think due to the 18incher wheels.
GT-R is cheaper than E-class (E350) coupe in Malaysia , check mudah.com.my, you can buy one now for less than RM 600K. A GT-R is just as practical, it has 4 seats, a proper boot, BOSE stereo,air conditioning, power windows, electric seats, cupholders. 335i engine sounds the best while girls love the Audi S5. Mercs were reliable – till the early 90’s. Later batches of the W124(like the masterpiece version in Malaysia) were blotched with problems, in contrast to the earlier batches which were stronger than tanks. hmm, taxis? w124’s yes, but w123? they still have that in Germany? Usually i see w210’s being used as taxi’s in Germany. Grow up….lol when i grow up…i’d like to buy a stubborn old man’s car…Volvo….wait…do they still exist? or have they become ?? (wowo), life is sad, screw China.
i like both of u, Pro and MPS..give us more..anything both of u had researched b4
this car ugly. look like hyundai sonata.

Mazda 3 MPS. Dude I seriously think you're one of the big bosses in BMW. You must hate Mercs so much that you are trying your level best to bring it down. Well sorry dude. The E class sales has always been better then the 5 series…and after this new launch I guess it will really widen the gap.

Cheaper than the Coupe? U dreaming ah? U have shown where ur priorities lie but I really think that when u decide to grow up, cars above will make sense to u. Cheerio.
