W214 Mercedes-Benz E-Class teased for Malaysia

Unveiled globally in April last year, the W214-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class appears set to finally make its Malaysian market debut, as suggested by this teaser from Mercedes-Benz Malaysia which shows the outline of the latest E-Class’ front fascia.

Of the several powertrain options for overseas markets, those likely for Malaysia at market launch would be the four-cylinder petrol units, namely the 204 hp/320 Nm E 200.

Likely to feature further along the model’s lifecycle could be the E 300 e plug-in hybrid, that outputs the same 204 hp/320 Nm from its ICE unit, pairing with a 129 hp/440 Nm electric motor for combined outputs of 308 hp and 550 Nm.

In W214-generation guise, the PHEV E-Class manages an all-electric range of up to 115 km from its 25.4 kWh battery, a step up from 33 km managed by the previous, W213-generation 281 hp/550 Nm E 350 e plug-in hybrid with a 6.2 kWh battery.

In addition to its new-generation looks, the latest equipment that can be expected in the W214 include the Superscreen multi-display ensemble that brings an optional front passenger screen to join the main central display and the driver’s instrumentation display.

For driver assistance systems, available for the W214 are Active Distance Assist, Attention Assist, Active Brake Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Parking Package with reverse camera and Speed Limit Assist. Attention Assist now adds a driver distraction alert, and will warn the driver acoustically and visually.

Meanwhile, Active Emergency Stop Assist can help in bringing the car to an emergency stop. Also on as an option is Driving Assistance Plus, which adds Active Steering Assist as a lane-keeping function. This teaser should mean that the Malaysian-market debut of the W214-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class will be taking place soon.

    Curious if Mercs with engine still drives the rear wheel or is it moved to front wheels now (except for 4matic/AMG versions)?

  • The new 5 is so much better. Our local 520i although being the entry 5 series, is actually quite good in term of specs. I am so happy with my entry level 5, made full lifetime subscription of the ADAS as soon as I know it’s available. This E is a little late. Nowadays Mercedes is so irrelevant. Mercedes is the last choice in the luxury car segment, even Volvo triumphs it by far.

    MBM better price it right.
    Very competitive segment.
    Hopefully will bring in a variant with the badge/logo on top.

    I love this design so much until I saw the 5 series m sport at Pavilion and test drove the 520i now I m desperately waiting to get the first batch of 530i next Jan! and thanks for the super late launch Merc because if you launch by then I ll surely bought one and regret for that look which expired so quick compared to 5er.
