140 Years. 140 Places.” The facelifted S-Class global tour celebrating the enduring legacy of Mercedes-Benz has made its Malaysian stop

The recently launched, facelifted Mercedes-Benz S-Class has made is to Malaysia. However, this isn't the official launch of the model here but three S-Classes that are going on a 140-location global drive marking 140 Years of Innovation since Carl Benz’s patent, which is also the first automobile in the world.. Mercedes-Benz calls the journey that commemorates a legacy built on innovation, craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to shaping the future of mobility. Personally, I call it a grand tour that intends to showcase the reliability and continent crushing ability of the newly facelifted W223 S-Class, and I do believe that it will succeed in doing so.

The event, which was graced by the presence of HRH Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj, the Sultan of Selangor. showcases the brand's past and current cars. Being the first country outside Germany to locally assemble the iconic Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a stop in this global tour is a testament to Malaysia’s world-class talent and its strategic place in the global Mercedes-Benz family.

Denza B8 hybrid SUV launched - Its First-Ever Dual Mode Off-Road (DMO) Super Hybrid SUV in Malaysia - 2 Variants with Prices Starting from RM458,800

DENZA Malaysia today officially launched the new DENZA B8, priced at RM518,800 for the Premium variant and RM458,800 for the Dynamic variant, marking the brand’s first-ever DMO Super Hybrid model introduction in Malaysia. Yes, the price is on the higher side of things even when compared to the RM300,000 thereabouts Denza D9 MPV. But one must note that Denza is a premium brand and you' re actually getting a MASSIVE 600HP and 760Nm torque. It is the most affordable brand new SUV that you can do 0-100kmh in under 4.8 seconds and also have a fully electric range of about 115km and a total of 800km combined range.  Bloody impressive for a hybrid SUV if you ask me.

Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2026 - 12 to 21 June 2026 at MITEC, KL

I attended the media briefing for the upcoming Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show 2026 (KLIMS 2026) and it will be on for ten (10) days starting 12 to 21 June 2026. The venua fir this is at MITEC, the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), in Kuala Lumpur.

From what I gather, this is an automotive/ mobility themed lifestyle experience with everything from a car show featuring vehicles from at least 18 car brands including Malaysian brands Perodua, Proton (featuring Proton & also Smart) as well as brands from China and Japan. Unfortunately, it seems the European car brands will not be participating so it's very much an Asian only car show.
