Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) has quietly updated the A-Class Sedan CKD for 2022, with the V177 getting some new features and equipment just four months after it was launched, as revealed by a check on the vehicle configurator on MBM’s website and then confirmed with the company.
The A 200 now regain the 64-colour ambient lighting and power-adjustable front passenger seat that were on the CBU model but was dropped when the car switched to local assembly. Additionally, we were informed by MBM that the climate control on it (and the A 250) has reverted to a single-zone Thermatic system (with no rear vents), but the variant now gains blind spot monitoring.
It and the A 250 AMG Line also now come with wireless charging and hands-free boot access as well as active lane keep assist and automatic high beam. The latter was also on the CBU A 250, but was omitted from the car when the CKD version debuted.
These additions bring about a change in the price of both variants, with the A 200 Progressive Line now going for RM220,459 and the A 250 AMG Line, for RM243,858, on-the-road without insurance, inclusive of the sales and service tax (SST) exemption until June 30. This translates to a RM9,556 jump for the A 200, which went for RM210,903 when it debuted, and a RM4,000 increase from the A 250’s original RM239,858 price.
No changes elsewhere or mechanically, with the A 200 continuing to offer 163 PS and 250 Nm from its Renault-sourced M282 1.33 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, while the A 250’s 2.0 litre M260 turbo four-pot’s output remains at 224 PS and 350 Nm. Both mills are paired with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.

what a silly car
Rubbish! All these extra kits are supposedly be standard when they first launch as CKD! U greedy obnoxious Mercedes Benz Malaysia!
Smart of them to roll out updated features for their compact models after getting a lot of feedback from their customers. I seriously cannot fathom paying quarter a million for a vehicle that don’t even have power seats as standard. Too bad the A250 didn’t get back it’s cross-drilled front brake discs which visually makes it stand out from the vanilla A200.
already wait 6 month, non of this model are able to deliver yet. what the hell MBM is doing.
