As part of our continuous commitment to the local market in the luxury automotive sector, the C-Class which debuted earlier this year, is now proudly assembled in our production facility, in Pekan and will further cater to the individual requirements of our esteemed

Exterior highlights
The C-Class has never been in a better shape: modernized all round and enhanced with sporty design elements, thanks to the combination of short front overhang, long wheelbase and rear overhang.
The interior adopts highlights from the new S-Class, adding a sporty touch. The brand’s hallmark radiator grille characterizes the front. All models feature a central star, with the design and character of the radiator grille differing in the details.
The C 200 is equipped with Avantgarde line exterior. The highlights include in particular the radiator grille design with central Mercedes star as well as elegant trim strips in high-sheen aluminium and chrome with lowered comfort suspension and 18-inch 5-spoke wheels.
The distinguishing feature of the C 300 with AMG Line exterior is the Mercedes-Benz pattern grille with the star design in chrome. The expressive body styling of the AMG Line lends the exterior of the C-Class a sporty, exclusive touch along with 19-inch AMG multi spoke wheels.
Other key exterior highlights of including panoramic sunroof, LED High Performance headlamps with Adaptive High Beam Assist.
The rear-end design is typical of a Mercedes-Benz sedan. The high-quality design of the tail lamps fascinates with an unmistakable day and night appearance. The lamps for the first time have a two-piece design in the C-Class, with the light functions divided between the side wall and boot lid lamps.
Their precisely configured interiors also showcase the standard of particularly high quality in detail with the silver grey diamond-pattern trim.
Interior highlights
The new C-Class brings the innovation leadership of the flagship S-Class to the sport sedan
segment. From its lifelike voice assistant to its next-generation driver assists, the vehicle looks after driver and its passengers like never before.
Driver-focus adds to the sportiness: the dashboard and central display are slightly tilted towards the driver by six degrees. It features a high-resolution 12.3” free-standing driver display, setting it apart from traditional cockpits with classic round dials.
The touchscreen appears to float above the expanse of trim. Like the dashboard, the screen is slightly tilted towards the driver. A high-quality chrome insert divides the center console into a rear, padded section for the armrest and a front section in lustrous jet black.
The seemingly free-floating central display rises smoothly and seamlessly from this three-dimensional surface.
The vehicle is equipped with the latest generation MBUX (NTG 7) with MBUX Navigation Premium . The driver area features a high-resolution LCD screen. It is free-standing, and appears to float in front of the wing profile and the expanse of trim.
The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is now available as a CKD unit in two variants: C200 Avantgarde Line, and the C300 AMG Line at RM 287,888 and RM327,888 respectively, inclusive of 10% Sales Tax (for Peninsular Malaysia)
