Mercedes-Benz Malaysia launches the exclusive GLC 200 and AMG GLE 43 OrangeArt Edition

Following a successful introduction of the premium SUV range last year, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia is adding two variants to join its portfolio to provide a wider variety. The locally-assembled GLC 250 4MATIC has been a crowd favourite since its launch but for those who desire something more exclusive, there’s the new GLC 200 and the special edition luxury Sports Utility Coupé, the Mercedes-AMG GLE 43 OrangeArt Edition.

Mercedes-Benz GLC 200

THE LOOKS: Equipped with the Off-Road exterior design, the GLC 200 is rugged yet sleek thanks to its chrome inserts and finishing. From the front, you’ll see the radiator trim boasting the integral Mercedes star and two louvres in matt iridium silver while from the sides, the 19-inch 5-spoke light-alloy wheels are a stunner even from a far. Some of the other highlights of its striking look include the chrome-plated simulated underguard and the exhaust system with two visible, chrome-plated tailpipe trims; and the anodized roof rails.

THE POWER: At its core, a 2.0-litre 4 in-line engine which produces an output of 135 kW (184 hp) and 300 Nm of torque. Add that with the GLC 200 standard nine-stage 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission (with a torque converter ready to be of service depending on the Dynamic Select mode) and you’ll find the car powerful, fast, with perfectly smooth transitions, and all in all, offering an enjoyable cruising experience. Officially, it can go 0-100km/h in 8.7 seconds.

THE LOOKS: Described as eccentric and unique, perhaps the most striking characteristic on the Mercedes-AMG GLE 43 OrangeArt Edition is its expressive decals in orange on the front apron. Its extravagance doesn’t stop there, however, as even its 21-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels are painted in high-gloss black with an orange rim flange to match.
