C-Class in 2026 — what's new
In 2026, the W206 C-Class carries on unchanged. The Malaysian sedan range comprises the 221 hp, 1.5-litre C200 Avantgarde CKD and C200 AMG Line, both petrol hybrid/REV models, plus the 333 hp, 2.0-litre C350e AMG Line CKD petrol plug-in hybrid. All are rear-wheel-drive automatics with five seats. A facelift is slated for 2027, bringing a larger grille and star lights while retaining the existing interior.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with either RM292,888 C200: Avantgarde CKD and AMG Line share the listed 1.5-litre 221 hp petrol-hybrid powertrain, rear-wheel drive, automatic gearbox and five-seat layout. On paper, you are paying for trim rather than mechanicals, so check the equipment list and choose the appearance and kit you prefer. Pay RM46,000 more for the RM338,888 C350e AMG Line CKD only if its 333 hp 2.0-litre plug-in-hybrid setup is the point of the purchase.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The W206 is the fifth-generation C-Class and has been in Malaysia since 2022. Its three-car range is straightforward: two mechanically identical 221 hp C200s, then a 333 hp C350e plug-in hybrid. The entry price is RM25,088 above the BMW 3 Series starting point, while the C350e remains below the BMW 3 Series M’s RM392,800 entry. Buyers should decide first if the plug-in-hybrid powertrain justifies the jump.
