Last updated · Rates current as of Bank Negara MPC
In short

Mercedes-Benz prices in Malaysia 2026 start at RM 216,888 OTR for the A 200 Sedan and rise to RM 2.4 million for the Maybach S 580 4MATIC Night Series. The CKD (Pekan-assembled) C-Class starts at RM 292,888, E-Class at RM 355,888, GLC at RM 391,888, S-Class at RM 738,888, and the CKD EQS 500 4MATIC at RM 648,888. CBU models including GLS, G-Class, Maybach and most of the EQ range range from RM 290k to RM 2.4m. The 1 January 2026 EV CBU duty sunset lifted imported EQ prices by 10-25% while CKD models stay protected through end-2027.

Should you buy?

Yes, if

  • Buyers prioritising long-term value who want the same Mercedes badge for RM 15k-50k less

    CKD models (C, E, S, GLC, GLE, EQS 500) are assembled at Pekan, Pahang to identical German specs, qualify for excise duty exemption through end-2027, and ship with the same 4-year unlimited mileage warranty as CBU

  • EV buyers who want a flagship electric saloon without the 2026 duty hike

    The EQS 500 4MATIC CKD held at RM 648,888 OTR after the 1 January 2026 CBU duty sunset, undercutting CBU EQS 580 by RM 150k and offering 615 km WLTP range, 360 kW DC charging, and MBUX Hyperscreen

Not if

  • Buyers wanting the lowest depreciation curve in the luxury segment

    Outside the G-Class and Maybach, Mercedes-Benz sedans depreciate roughly 5-10 points faster than the Lexus equivalent over 5 years. Lexus ES or RX retains 55-65% at year 5

  • Buyers with budgets under RM 200k who still want a German premium badge

    The entry A 200 Sedan starts at RM 216,888 OTR; below that, Mercedes-Benz is only accessible through Certified Pre-Owned or independent used channels with shorter warranties. BMW 218 Sport CKD (RM 219,800) and Audi A3 sit at the same entry tier

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia 2026 pricing spans RM 216,888 OTR for the A 200 Sedan through RM 2.4 million for the Maybach S 580 4MATIC Night Series. The structural story for 2026 is the divergence between CKD and CBU pricing after the 1 January 2026 EV duty exemption sunset: the Pekan, Pahang plant continues to assemble the C-Class, E-Class, GLC, S-Class, and the EQS 500 sedan with full excise duty exemption through end-2027, while imported A-Class, GLA, GLB, GLS, G-Class, Maybach, and most of the EQ range pay the restored CBU duty stack. This guide breaks down every variant on sale, the CKD-versus-CBU price logic, and the running-cost picture for a Mercedes-Benz in Malaysia.

CKD vs CBU Mercedes-Benz: What Changes and Why It Matters

Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Malaysia operates the Pekan, Pahang plant via Hicom Automotive Manufacturers. The plant rolled out its 100,000th unit in November 2023 and supports roughly 60% of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia annual sales volume.

CKD models receive the same German engineering and components as CBU equivalents, with final assembly at Pekan. The cost benefit comes from the excise duty exemption applied to local-assembled vehicles, which translates to RM 15,000-50,000 lower OTR per variant versus the equivalent CBU spec. Service quality, parts logistics, and warranty are identical to CBU.

CKD models (Pekan-assembled):

CBU imports: A-Class, CLA, GLA, GLB, GLS, G-Class, all Maybach, all AMG performance variants (except CKD AMG Line trims of C and E), EQA, EQB, EQE Sedan, EQE SUV, EQS 580, EQS SUV.

What Is the Cheapest Mercedes-Benz in Malaysia?

The A 200 Sedan at RM 216,888 OTR is the entry point. It pairs a 1.3L turbo (163 PS, 250 Nm) with the 7G-DCT dual-clutch transmission in the W177 compact sedan body, equipped with MBUX 2nd-gen infotainment and Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive ADAS.

The next step is the GLA 200 SUV at RM 254,888, also CBU, with the same 1.3L turbo in the H247 subcompact SUV body. For mainstream sedan buyers stepping up to the proper rear-wheel-drive Mercedes driving experience, the C 200 Avantgarde CKD at RM 292,888 is the natural target: 1.5L EQ Boost mild-hybrid (204 PS), 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic, and the W206 chassis that elevates ride and refinement significantly over the A-Class.

Below RM 300,000 the A / GLA / C 200 covers the entry-luxury Malaysian buyer. Above that line, the lineup steps up to the GLC mid-luxury bracket at RM 391,888, then the E-Class and GLE at RM 355,888-528,888, the S-Class CKD at RM 738,888, and finally the Maybach, AMG flagship, and G-Class at RM 950,000-2,400,000.

How the 1 January 2026 EV CBU Duty Sunset Reshaped the EQ Range

The 2022 Budget exemption on CBU EV import duty (30%), excise duty (10-100%), and sales tax (10%) expired on 31 December 2025. From 1 January 2026, only CKD EVs continue under the exemption, which has been extended to 31 December 2027.

Impact on Mercedes-Benz EQ:

The strategic outcome for Mercedes-Benz Malaysia: the EQS 500 CKD becomes a stand-out value play in the EQ range. At RM 648,888 with 615 km WLTP range, 360 kW DC charging, MBUX Hyperscreen, and the W223 S-Class chassis underneath, it now undercuts the CBU EQS 580 by roughly RM 150k while preserving the full CKD warranty stack.

C-Class, E-Class, and GLC: The CKD Value Core

The three CKD lines account for the majority of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia volume:

C-Class W206: C 200 Avantgarde RM 292,888, C 300 AMG Line RM 338,888, C 350 e PHEV around RM 388,888. The C 200 runs the M254 1.5L turbo with EQ Boost 48V mild hybrid (204 PS combined), while the C 350 e PHEV combines a 2.0L turbo with a 95 kW electric motor for around 117 km WLTP electric-only range.

E-Class W214: E 200 Avantgarde RM 355,888, E 300 AMG Line around RM 395,888, E 350 e PHEV RM 418,888. Newest CKD launch in the lineup, with the W214 platform featuring 17.7-inch passenger display (E 300 and above), Drive Pilot Level 3 hardware (software inactive in Malaysia), and 100-118 km PHEV electric range.

GLC X254: GLC 300 4MATIC AMG Line RM 391,888, GLC 350 e 4MATIC PHEV RM 398,888. The PHEV variant delivers around 130 km WLTP electric-only range, the longest of any GLC sold globally. CKD price advantage over CBU GLC Coupé is roughly RM 35,000.

All three lines carry the same 4-year unlimited mileage warranty, 9G-TRONIC automatic, EQ Boost mild-hybrid where ICE, and MBUX 2nd-gen infotainment.

AMG and Maybach: When CBU Is the Only Way

Above RM 950,000, the lineup is exclusively CBU because the Pekan plant does not assemble Affalterbach-built AMG engines or the Sindelfingen-built Maybach long-wheelbase bodies.

Each AMG engine carries the "One Man, One Engine" hand-built signature plaque from Affalterbach. CKD economics never apply at this price tier; the buyer pool is large enough to absorb full import duty.

Mercedes-Benz Resale Value in Malaysia vs BMW, Audi, and Lexus

5-year retention as percentage of OTR for the Malaysian used market:

Compared to rivals: Lexus ES and RX retain 55-65% at year 5 (longest retention in Malaysian luxury market). BMW 3 Series, 5 Series, X3, X5 retain 5-10 points below the equivalent Mercedes-Benz CKD. Audi (post-PHS transition) retains 45-55% as the brand recovers from Euromobil-era warranty uncertainty.

Hire Purchase and Green Financing for Mercedes-Benz Buyers

Premium-brand hire purchase rates in Malaysia 2026:

Bank Negara Malaysia caps total monthly debt service ratio at 60% of net income; private-banking channels reach 70% for high-income applicants. Typical down payment 10-20% with 7-9 year tenures.

Sample monthly figures at 7 years, 10% down, 3.20% flat (or 2.85% for EQS 500 CKD):

Service Intervals, the 4-Year Warranty, and Star Coverage Extension

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia bundles:

Service intervals use a Service A and Service B alternating system at 20,000 km or 12 months. Indicative out-of-pocket costs at authorised centres: Service A RM 1,200-1,800, Service B RM 2,400-3,800. Premium oil and AMG-spec engines add 20-40% per visit. EQ models cost roughly half of equivalent ICE service, with no engine oil or transmission service; first major check at 2 years or 40,000 km.

Independent specialists with OE parts cut these prices by 25-40% but void Star Coverage if the work is done outside the authorised network.

Where to Buy a Mercedes-Benz in Malaysia: Dealers and CPO

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia operates through four authorised dealer groups:

For used Mercedes-Benz, the Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) programme at Hap Seng Star and Auto Commerz includes 1-year unlimited mileage warranty, multi-point inspection, and free 1-year roadside assistance. Avoid grey-imported recond Mercedes-Benz from independent dealers: many have no remaining manufacturer warranty, parts logistics is opaque, and resale exit is harder.

What is the difference between a CKD Mercedes-Benz and a CBU Mercedes-Benz in Malaysia?

They qualify for excise duty exemption, which translates to RM 15,000 to RM 50,000 lower OTR versus the CBU equivalent. CBU (Completely Built Up) cars are fully imported from Germany (Sindelfingen, Bremen, Affalterbach) or other Mercedes-Benz plants and pay full import, excise, and sales tax. Trim differences are minimal; CKD cars use identical platforms, engines and interior. Service quality and warranty are identical.

How does Mercedes-Benz resale value compare with BMW and Lexus in Malaysia?
In the Malaysian used market, Mercedes-Benz holds value better than BMW and Audi but trails Lexus on most segments.

Lexus ES and RX typically retain 55-65% over the same period. BMW 3 Series and 5 Series retain 5-10 points below the Mercedes-Benz equivalent.
What does the Mercedes-Benz Malaysia 4-year unlimited mileage warranty cover?
Mercedes-Benz Malaysia provides a standard 4-year unlimited mileage manufacturer warranty from delivery date, covering manufacturing defects on the powertrain, electronics, infotainment and bodyshell. EQ electric models add an 8-year or 160,000 km battery warranty with minimum 70% capacity retention guarantee. The Star Coverage Extended Limited Warranty extends years 5 and 6 from RM 1,488 (Gold, 12 components) to higher (Platinum, 24+ components, coverage up to RM 250,000 per plan), provided the car is under 125,000 km entering year 5.
