After quietly appearing in showrooms last year, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia is officially bringing the facelifted E-Class Coupe to us. One thing that caught our eyes, is how much lower the price is compared to the model we saw, that’s because that particular unit was an up-specced indent order example, while the one launched here is a standard-run model. That said, the stunning coupe comes in a sole E 250 variant, for the taking.
Exterior-wise the car comes with full-LED headlamps in the front, which also houses the unmistakeable four-eyed look of the E-Class. The two-door gets the AMG Line kit, which comprises of aggressive-looking front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and 18-inch AMG five-double-spoke alloy wheels, as part of the package.
Inside, the coupe comes with a full-colour TFT display, an analogue clock alongside a choice of either wood or aluminium materials across the two-part trim dashboard. A three-spoke multifunction steering wheel with Direct Select lever and shift paddles comes standard on the premium two-door.
Customers can individualise the interior with different colour combinations. MBM also offers the seven-inch high-res coloured COMAND Online multimedia system featuring internet connectivity, hard-disk navigation and emergency call features.
The electromechanical Direct Steer system, the same speed-sensitive power assistance with a variable steering ratio, can be found on the two-door as a stock feature, similar to the E-Class sedan. Underneath, the Coupe is given the road-adapting Agility Control suspension with selective damping as a standard item.
Power-wise, the E 250 Coupe comes in a single engine offering, a turbocharged 2.0 litre four-cylinder BlueDIRECT petrol engine paired to a seven-speed 7G-Tronic Plus automatic transmission. The E 250 Coupe makes 211 hp from 5,500 rpm and 350 Nm of torque at 1,200 to 4,000 rpm. It goes from 0-100 km/h in 7.1 seconds, while top speed is limited to 250 km/h.
Price of the E 250 Coupe goes for RM428,888 excluding insurance. That’s a lot more “affordable” compared to the earlier mentioned model which appeared in showrooms last year – priced at RM490,888 – that’s a RM62,000 difference, if you’re wondering.

Same ingredient. Different packaging.
That pretty much sums up every car in existence.
How come now MBM can reduce the price by RM60k and this is DESPITE the ringgit has dropped by 30%??
That means they were greedy initially. Before that, with the ringgit so strong, they could have reduced by more than RM60k, maybe RM120k.
This shows, that their margin alone must be over RM120k per car.
The same E250 also they sell for RM428k (not coupe but Sedan). This clearly also shows their profit margin is so huge and they are greedy
Where is Najib’s promise to reduce by 30% Folger?
Dang it took them some to launch this officially from MBM. The grey imports were here quite some time.
so what is this lacking compared to the more expensive model
You. Wait, so does the more expensive model.
unfortunately u are under it
One year later it become 300k.
And still 300k more than you could afford
