It’s been well over a year since the W214 Mercedes-Benz E-Class was revealed to the world<\/a>, but the sixth-generation executive sedan is finally coming to Malaysia, with Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) teasing that the car is “coming soon.”<\/a> Ahead of its local launch, the company sent our man Hafriz Shah to Vienna, Austria to drive the new model in mild and plug-in hybrid forms.<\/p>\n

Succeeding the very popular W213 model, the new W214 receives a significant redesign (including some ostentatious Three-pointed Star taillights) and a fully-revamped interior. The latter debuts the MBUX Superscreen, which consists of a 12.3-inch instrument display, a 14.4-inch infotainment touchscreen and a second 12.3-inch touchscreen for the front passenger. There’s even a “webcam” atop the dashboard that can be used for video conferencing services such as Zoom and Webex.<\/p>\n

Globally, the W214 will be offered with a wide range of petrol and diesel powertrains, all featuring some form of electrification. For the first time, Malaysia will have a fully-electrified E-Class lineup, starting with the mild hybrid E200 that utilises a 204 PS\/320 Nm 2.0 litre M254 turbocharged four-cylinder engine, coupled with a 23 PS\/220 Nm electric motor.<\/p>\n

Returning to the lineup is the E350e plug-in hybrid<\/a> (badged the E300e in other markets). This boosts the electric motor to 129 PS and 440 Nm of torque, providing a total system output of 313 PS and 550 Nm. A 25.4 kWh battery delivers an all-electric range of between 97 and 115 km on a single charge.<\/p>\n

With the W214 set to do battle with the also-new G60 BMW 5 Series<\/a> in Malaysia, has Mercedes gone far enough to revitalise arguably its most important model? And does the car have enough substance to offset the slightly vain Tristar-heavy design? Watch Hafriz’s review below.<\/p>\n
