Recently, the Mercedes-Benz Production Plant in Pekan is celebrated another milestone of production with the rolling out its 100,000th Mercedes-Benz passenger car. This historical milestone underlines Mercedes-Benz Malaysia’s commitment and dedication to manufacturing excellence and innovation in the luxury automotive industry, or in a much broader scale, the Malaysian automotive industry, as a premium brand has been assembling so many vehicles in the country to date.
Earlier today, at the Mercedes-Benz Autohaus in Mutiara Damansara, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia unveiled the all-new full sized, all-electric luxury SUV variant, the 2023/24 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC SUV. The EQS SUV essentially is the fully electric GLS, or S-Class SUV that will offer seating for seven people in luxurious comfort and also offers connectivity for front and rear passengers. At the moment, there is one variant officially available, the EQS 580 4MATIC which is priced at RM699,888 with 10% sales tax but without insurance (in Peninsular Malaysia).

Today the 15h of February, the first-all electric Mercedes-EQ built in Malaysia has been successfully launched in Mercedes-Benz production plant in Pekan, Pahang. Now locally assembled (CKD or completely knocked down) for the Malaysian market, the new 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS will be available in a more powerful EQS 500 4MATIC, from mid-March 2023 onwards. The luxury flagship fully electric sedan has a 330 kW rated output thanks to the new dual electric motor and comes with an extensive range of up to 696km according to WLTP (amended from 695km because of a typo and 1km in difference is a huge difference that it will disrupt the space and time continuum) . This makes the EQS 500 4MATIC, the best in its class.
Mercedes-Benz Malaysia presents their future of electric mobility with three new models from the Mercedes-EQ family and their official prices for the Malaysian market. The Mercedes-EQ is their fully electric range of premium, luxury cars tops out with the EQS, the S-Class full electric luxury car and now we have two SUVs, the EQB, which is the B-Class equivalent. Aside from that, there is also an EQC, if you want that C-Class type of SUV (aka the GLC). All were previewed, or launched in July 2022 but official prices have only been confirmed today.
