Bangkok 2017: Mercedes-Benz Thailand Launches 2017 E-Class Coupe

Mercedes-Benz Thailand have introduced the E-Class Coupe, complementing their E-Class portfolio which also includes the sedan and estate models. The E-Class Coupe is offered in one variant, the E300 Coupe AMG Dynamic.

The E-Class Coupe has been introduced to the Thai market rather swiftly after its global debut, and is based on the underpinnings of the E-Class sedan model. The E300 Coupe AMG Dynamic is priced at THB 4,540,000.

The E300 Coupe is powered by a 2.0-litre (M274) turbocharged inline-four engine producing 245hp at 5500rpm and 370Nm of torque. The E300 Coupe sprints from 0-100km/h in 6.4 seconds and top speed is electronically limited to 250km/h. The engine is mated to a 9-speed automatic.

The E300 Coupe is supplied with the latest generation Comand infotainment suite, which beams data onto a 12.3-inch screen. Standard active safety features include Pre-Safe pedestrian detection and Park Pilot with Active Parking Assist.

Back home, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia recently teased an incoming model, due to be launched on the 20th April, which possibly hints at a launch of the E-Class Coupe. However, since BMW and Volvo have introduced the (G30) 5 Series and S90 models respectively, the locally assembled (CKD) E-Class sedan would seem the bigger priority for now. Stay tuned.
