Overview
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class W214 is a five-seat executive sedan for buyers after a petrol-hybrid or plug-in hybrid Mercedes rather than a fully electric saloon. Launched in Malaysia in 2024, the sixth-generation E-Class range starts from RM 355,888, with the E200 Avantgarde sitting below the E350e AMG Line.
The W214 Mercedes-Benz E-Class carries on into 2026 unchanged, with no 2026-specific update announced. The Malaysian range remains the E200 Avantgarde mild hybrid and the E350e AMG Line plug-in hybrid, both using a 1,999 cc petrol engine, a conventional automatic transmission and five-seat sedan body. The current generation was launched in Malaysia in 2024 after earlier local teasers and previews.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the E200 Avantgarde at RM 355,888. It has the same listed 1,999 cc capacity, 201 hp output, conventional automatic transmission and five-seat layout as the E350e. The RM 63,000 jump to the RM 418,888 E350e AMG Line buys the plug-in hybrid drivetrain and AMG Line trim. If you can charge regularly or specifically want that look, pay more; otherwise the E200 is the straightforward pick.

across the range — availability varies by variant
The W214 E-Class is a proper generational change, not a light update. It replaces the W213 with a significant exterior redesign and a fully revamped interior, while the Malaysian line-up gives buyers a choice between mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid petrol power. It is not the cheapest executive sedan here: the Lexus ES, Volvo ES90 and BMW 5 Series all start lower. But the range is simple and clearly split.
