JAECOO Malaysia previews the upcoming 2025 OMODA C9 SUV - Coupe SUV styling, a very premium feeling cabin and a 2.0liter turbocharged 2wd or AWD variants estimated to be under RM200K, it is incredible
JAECOO Malaysia has just previewed the OMODA C9 (C9) SUV. This very premium looking and feeling SUV is planned to be launched in December of this year, and after looking at it at the preview today, this C9 should shake-up the D-segment SUV market with its engine performance, safety technology, creature comforts and signature competitive pricing strategy. JAECOO Malaysia aim to price even the full spec C9 under RM200,000, and I believe, many other brands that have a D segment SUV in and around the RM150,000 to RM225,000 price range will be sweating a little.

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) has introduced the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant, the GLC 350 e 4MATIC.which is assembled here in Pekan, Pahang, The new PHEV GLC was unveiled during the Malaysian launch of the new W214 E-Class sedan. The new variant of the GLC is a model that adds to the GLC SUV range here and combines electrified efficiency with uncompromised performance. It is now available at RM 398,888 inclusive of 10% Sales Tax (for Peninsular Malaysia), which seems to be quite a nice figure as it is still under the RM400K threshold. More than that for a C-Class variant of the Mercedes-Benz SUV and it would be quite hard to swallow for a C-Class I figure. MBM must feel the same too to price it as such.
