Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) launched the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 AMG Line and its locally-assembled progressive crossover the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 Coupé AMG Line, to strengthen its position as the leader in the premium SUV segment in Malaysia.
“We are delighted to now bring the production of the GLC 300 Coupé, locally-assembled in our plant in Pekan. The GLC 300 Coupé reflects our iconic Mercedes-Benz coupé design while symbolising the contrasts that become one.
“With its design idiom of sensual purity, it perfectly embodies the perfect balance of muscle and aesthetics, dynamics and functionality. It is an SUV and a coupé, two outstanding traits of two automotive worlds,” says Mercedes-Benz Malaysia chief executive officer and president, Dr Claus Weidner.
Priced at RM399,888, this crossover will be the latest addition to the ever-growing locally-assembled portfolio for Mercedes-Benz Malaysia.
“The all-new locally-assembled Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 Coupé AMG Line comes with a greater performance with its four-cylinder 2.0 engine, making it 245 hp and 370 Nm on the road.
“Coupled with AMG Line fittings, both interior and exterior, it is truly a product of strength with attitude,” says MBM vice president sales and marketing, Mark Raine.
Equipped with the intelligent drive features such as the Lane Tracking Package and Blind Spot Assist, this progressive crossover embodies the perfect balance of muscle and aesthetics, dynamic and functionality, added with strength and attitude.
The latest GLC 300 Coupé AMG Line takes its sportiness to the next level with the AMG Line exterior, with the dynamic AMG body styling, adaptive Highbeam Assists Plus, Aluminium-look running boards, and the 20-inch multi-spoke light-alloy wheels.
