The new C238 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupé is set to be launched in Malaysia this Thursday, July 27, according to a teaser image released by Mercedes-Benz Malaysia. The midsize two-door offering will hence enter the market just about a year after its four-door sibling, the W213 sedan.
Expect the model lineup to mirror the sedan with E 200 and E 250 models, although the range-topping variant will likely be the E 300 instead of the four-door’s upcoming E 350 e plug-in hybrid. All three are powered by the same 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine in 184 hp/300 Nm (E 200), 211 hp/350 Nm (E 250) and 245 hp/370 Nm (E 300) tunes, matched to a nine-speed 9G-Tronic automatic transmission.
The coupé model should also get much the same kit, the highlight being the Widescreen Cockpit that features twin 12.3-inch high-definition displays for infotainment and instruments. Multibeam LED headlights, Keyless-Go, Nappa leather upholstery and a Burmester sound system should also feature on upper variants.
Don’t expect it to come cheap, however – the C-Class Coupé retails between RM46,000 and a whopping RM81,000 more than the equivalent sedans, so the E-Class Coupé should carry similar premiums.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
MBM is stupid. Their last E class coupe was a big failure. Of course lah, you sell at RM450k, who wants to buy?
That is why 99% of E250 Coupe you see on the road are all recons.
I hope and pray, MBM pakai hotak sikit. Don’t waste your time and energy on the coupe cause it will be a big failure. Focus on bringing the E350 Hybrid in either coupe or sedan.
At least we Malaysians can enjoy cheaper E class with the Hybrid tax exemptions.
But poor Malaysians cannot enjoy more cheaper City & Jazz hybrid :((
Ah Pek don’t like coupe, so E class coupe is a failure. Youngster prefer Audi and BMW.
Upgrading from Accord 2.4 to Benz E350e.
BMW use to be the top luxury & driver car in the 1990s & 2000s. In 2010 onward, Mercedes seems to make better, sportier & may I say more beautiful car/SUV than BMW.
What happen to BMW?? The answer lies with Mercedes. They managed to shed the old-man car by developing & making their vehicles more appealing to the younger generation & the young at heart.
Not quite. Mesidis managed the trick to maintain old timers and yet capture younger buyers. That why they grew while Beemer shrank. Oso real richman car is Tristar.
Many were tricked to buy BMW of asia too.
Fool that dunno comprehension, go back to skool
Heres the link. Inside u can find who to blame.

Why compare luxury with mass car? Otak letak kat lutut?
Menteri yg compare lah
Dum dum john, talking nonsense as usual.
BMW cars design got more boring and Benz also able to match BMW drive feel, so customers jump.
Missed opportunity. Shud have schedule to launch it on 23.8.2017.
MBM facebook has been teasing a lot of stuff on the E class about dynamic precision, electrifying experience and final artwork. It is said it will unveil at 28th of July. Any ideas what does this mean Paultan?
I always asked myself that why such a nice fully digital instrument panels on this price car are not crystal clear resolutions even on S-Classs. It’s not a photographic effect, you can see when you sit inside the car as well. The resolution is even lower than iPad2. Maybe uncles didn’t notice with their bulky sunglasses :D
