Mercedes-Benz Malaysia Like No Other event – see the GLC350e and GLC43 Coupé, G63 FL, GLE63, SL63

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) has capped off a busy 2024 with its Luxury Like No Other event, where it launched not one but six new models – most of them from Mercedes-AMG. You’ve already seen our extensive coverage of the GLC350e and GLC43 Coupé, facelifted G63, GLE63S (in regular and Coupé forms) and SL63, but now it’s time for you to check the cars out for yourself.

That’s right – you will be able to get up close and personal with these plug-in hybrid and performance vehicles at the event, held from November 5 to 10 at the Cycle & Carriage Bintang Autohaus showroom in Mutiara Damansara. You will be able to test drive other AMG models such as the SL43, C63S E Performance and CLA45S.

As a refresher, the event saw the launch of the GLC350e Coupé plug-in hybrid, priced at RM425,888. An alternative to the regular GLC350e, it too is powered by a 204 PS/320 Nm 2.0 litre M254 turbo engine and 129 PS/440 Nm electric motor. Total system output is rated at 313 PS and 550 Nm of torque, and with an identical 31.2 kWh battery, the all-electric range remains the same at up to 131 km on the WLTP cycle.

It is joined by the hotter Mercedes-AMG GLC43 4Matic+ Coupé, priced at RM498,888 and utilising a high-performance 2.0 litre M139l four-pot mill adapted from the A45S, here producing 421 PS and 500 Nm. This 48-volt mild hybrid mill incorporates a 14 PS/150 Nm belt-driven starter-generator (BSG); so equipped, it gets from zero to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.

Also introduced is the facelifted W465 G63, replacing the outgoing W464 model; the most expensive vehicle here, it retails at a heady RM1,948,888. It retains the venerable 585 PS/850 Nm 4.0 litre M177 twin-turbocharged V8 but adds a 20 PS/200 Nm BSG, getting the boxy geländewagen from zero to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. Changes include cross-linked hydraulic dampers, minor aesthetic tweaks and the long-overdue adoption of the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX).

Also introduced is the facelifted GLE63S 4Matic+ and GLE63S 4Matic+ Coupé, priced at RM1,191,888 and RM1,229,888 respectively. This is the first time the top-dog V167/C167 GLE is being offered in Malaysia, pairing a monstrous 612 PS/850 Nm version of the M177 with a 22 PS/250 Nm BSG. This enables the leviathan to blitz the century sprint in just 3.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 280 km/h.

Last but not least is the SL63 4Matic+, joining the SL43 that was launched last year and priced at RM1,898,888. Packing a 585 PS/800 Nm M177, it produces 204 PS and 320 Nm more than the lesser version, taking more than a second out of the century sprint (3.6 seconds). Top speed of this brutish roadster is 315 km/h.
