Overview
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206 is a compact executive sedan and the fifth generation of the nameplate in Malaysia, launched in 2022. It suits buyers after a traditional premium four-door with petrol hybrid or plug-in hybrid drivetrains rather than a full EV. Prices start from RM292,888 for the C200.
C-Class in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the W206 C-Class sedan range carries on unchanged in Malaysia, with the C200 AMG Line, C200 Avantgarde CKD and C350e AMG Line CKD. The 2026 C-Class EV is a separate W520-generation electric model, headlined by 800V tech, 330 kW DC charging and up to 800 km WLTP range, with no wagon planned due to limited demand for that bodystyle.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the C200 at RM292,888. The C200 AMG Line and C200 Avantgarde CKD share the same 1,496 cc, 201 hp petrol hybrid/REV drivetrain, conventional automatic gearbox and five-seat layout, so on paper you are paying for trim, not mechanicals — check the equipment list. The C350e AMG Line CKD costs RM338,888; the RM46,000 gap buys the plug-in hybrid setup and a 1,999 cc engine.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The W206 C-Class remains the classic Mercedes-Benz answer to the BMW 3 Series, and the brief is still clear: a polished compact executive sedan with the badge, cabin style and powertrain choices expected of the segment. It is not cheap. The range starts above the BMW 3 Series from RM265,800 and far above the Tesla Model 3 from RM147,600, while EV rivals are already putting pressure on traditional sedans in Malaysia.
