Mercedes-Benz EQE 500 4Matic EV SUV lands in Malaysia – RM485,888

Just a month after the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV was launched, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia announced the arrival of the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, the EQE 500 4Matic.

This makes the fifth all-electric SUV from Mercedes-Benz here in the country that’s accompanied by the EQA, EQB, EQC, and of course, the EQS.

There were three different variants for the Mercedes-Benz EQE at the global launch, but the one that will be up for sale here in Malaysia would be the top-of-the-line variant, the Mercedes-Benz EQE 500 4Matic finished in the AMG Line package.

The EQE 500 4Matic comes with a dual-electric motor setup powering all four wheels with 408PS and 858Nm of torque. Paired with a 90.56kWh battery pack, the EQE500 4Matic can cover a distance of 464km to 552km (WLTP).

0-100km/h can be done in just 4.9 seconds before the EQE 500 4Matic reaches its limited top speed of 210km/h.

As for charging, the EQE SUV supports up to 22kW of AC charging which has been fitted as standard similar to the EQS SUV. This gets the battery pack fully charged at around 4 hours and 45 minutes.

The EQE SUV also supports DC charging up to 170kW and when it is connected to one can deliver the electric juices, 0% to 80% state of charge can be completed in just 32 minutes.

If you’re in a hurry, 15 minutes is enough to add 250km worth of range to your driving needs.

Just like its sedan sibling, the EQE SUV features a black panel grille, and the Digital Light system just like the ones found on the EQE, EQS, and EQS SUV.

Other exterior features include illuminated 3D helix design rear taillights, flush-fitting door handles, integrated spoiler, and 21-inch AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels with aero-claddings to name a few.

Hiding behind those is a set of AIRMATIC air suspension with adaptive ADS+ dampers and rear-axle steering for greater agility as well as comfort.

If you’re wondering about the dimensions of the EQE SUV (4,863mm long, 1,940mm wide, 1,615mm high, 3,030mm wheelbase), it sits right in between the EQC and the EQS.

The EQE SUV’s interior is very similar to the insides of the EQE sedan. For those seated at the front, particularly the driver, there’s access to the Display Package which includes a fingerprint scanner, OLED central display, driver display, as well as the MBUX multimedia system.

With a cabin that can fit five occupants comfortably, the EQE SUV also features a 520-litre boot space that can be expanded to 1,675 litres when you fold down the rear seats.

For those who are interested in the latest Mercedes-Benz EQE 500 4Matic, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has priced it at RM485,888 (on-the-road price without insurance).

What does CARSOME look for when they refurbish a car?

Buying a car can be, and usually is, a bit of a roller coaster ride of emotions. However, buying a typical used car can bring more lows than highs as there’s much less certainty about its condition. Despite it being cheaper now that it has seen a few miles, there’s always a price to pay, so to speak.

CARSOME and its Certified cars seek to bridge that gap, ensuring the cars that have passed through its Certified Lab come out the other side offering the same kind of peace of mind and transparency that makes a showroom-fresh vehicle so tempting. Let’s run through the meticulous process by which CARSOME ‘Certifies’ their cars!

First of all, even before any reconditioning, repair or refurbishment can begin, each car is subject to a rigorous 175-point inspection to ensure they are free from flood or fire damage and hasn’t been involved in major accidents.

From this point, the inspectors will focus on a number of areas to dive deeper into, to ascertain the true quality of a particular car, using this as a basis to determine if and what needs attention during refurbishment.

Exterior:

The car’s exterior is the first point of impression anyone makes with it, but it’s important to know what to look for in order to go beyond what is merely skin deep. CARSOME’s professional inspectors will take the time to investigate and verify the car’s:

Engine, VIN, chassis number
Wheels and tyres.
Body panels, bumpers.
Door panels, bonnet, boot
Glass – front and rear windscreen, windows, mirrors
Exterior lights

The first stop on the list is to verify the car’s chassis and engine number are a match and are free from any tampering to ensure this isn’t a ‘clone car’ or one that has been declared a total loss, keeping a sharp eye for signs of shoddy repair work, rust, mold, joint welding marks, and other potential red flags. Again, this is to further support the conclusion that the car is free from flood and fire damage.

Undercarriage:

The undercarriage or underside, an often overlooked part of the car, can reveal so much about its true condition.

Again, the inspector will be out to find any signs of damage, paying particular attention to potential fluid leaks, as well as taking a closer look at the car’s engine, transmission, brakes, and exhaust system.

Interior:

The importance of a car’s interior functionality and condition cannot be overstated given how much time its occupants will be spending in it. The cabin’s comprehensive inspection is therefore out to ensure everything works well and all components below meet CARSOME Certified standards:

Meters and gauges, indicator lights, warning lights
Seatbelts
Audio system, infotainment
Alarm and central locking
Air conditioning
Carpet, trim, floor mats
Boot and storage compartments
Sunroof and convertible top (if equipped)

Quick Road Test:

Once the Exterior, Interior, and Undercarriage inspection has been concluded and the inspector is satisfied so far, they will move on to a quick road test. This is an important step in the process as this can help weed out previously hidden issues that might only reveal themselves during normal driving.

The aim here is to make sure the car’s engine, transmission, and brakes are indeed working well, keeping an eye on the car’s operating temperature, responsiveness of the car’s steering system, as well as for excessive noises or vibrations that need further investigation.

CARSOME Certified Cars come with a 1-year warranty!

From the meticulous full inspection to detailed refurbishment process, every car CARSOME Certified Car is protected from day one to inject that all-important peace of mind to the ownership process. To top it off, each CARSOME Certified car comes with a 1-year warranty!

TIPS BATERI KERETA TAHAN LAMA : Elak bateri kereta kong lebih cepat dengan 4 tips ini.

Ketahui cara tingkatkan jangka hayat bateri kereta, seperti cara periksa bateri kereta, tabiat memandu yang boleh memendekkan jangka hayat bateri kereta dan pemilihan bateri kereta berkualiti.

 

Malaysia terkenal dengan cuaca yang panas dan lembap. Tahukah anda, haba panas merupakan salah satu faktor dalam mengurangkan jangka hayat dan juga prestasi bateri kereta anda. Tetapi anda tidak perlu risau, semua bateri kereta telah ditambah baik bagi mengelakkan cuaca di Malaysia mengganggu ketahanan bateri anda. Walaubagaimanapun, anda masih perlu memahami cara menjaga bateri kereta dengan betul supaya anda dapat mengurangkan risiko bateri kereta kong dengan lebih cepat.

Berapa lama ketahanan bateri kereta anda?

Apa cara untuk elak bateri kereta kong lebih cepat?

Pemeriksaan bateri kereta berkala, cara cek bateri kereta
Cara pemanduan yang seimbang
Elak penggunaan sistem elektrik berlebihan
Menggunakan bateri kereta berkualiti

 

Berapa lama ketahanan bateri kereta anda?

Ia bergantung kepada jenis bateri apa yang kereta anda gunakan. Bagi jangka hayat bateri kereta kering, ia mempunyai jangka hayat sekitar 2 tahun sahaja. Manakala, bagi jangka hayat bateri kereta basah pula antara 5 hingga 10 tahun.  Anda pakai kereta hybrid? Jangka hayat bateri kereta hybrid bergantung kepada jenama kereta anda, bagi Honda, syarikat menjanjikan ia boleh digunakan sehingga 8 tahun, manakala bagi Toyota pula sehingga 120ribu km. Tapi… semua ini bergantung kepada cara pemakaian anda. Jom baca beberapa tips supaya bateri kereta anda tahan lama.

Apa cara untuk elak bateri kereta kong lebih cepat?

Pemeriksaan bateri kereta berkala, cara cek bateri kereta

Rajin-rajinkan diri anda untuk membuka but depan kereta dengan lebih kerap. Jangan lupa, bateri kereta juga perlu diperiksa sama seperti minyak hitam. Bateri kereta ada SERBUK BIRU? AWAS! Itu merupakan pertanda karat. Elak dari serbuk tersebut berkumpul di bateri kereta anda. Bersihkan menggunakan serbuk soda dan air serta gosok menggunakan berus dawai. Selain itu, anda juga boleh cek bateri kereta guna multimeter. Ini dapat membuat anda lebih yakin untuk meneruskan perjalanan anda terutamanya perjalanan jauh.

Cara pemanduan yang seimbang

Tahukah anda, perjalanan pendek yang kerap boleh merosakkan bateri kereta anda. Apabila anda memandu, alternator akan cas semula bateri. Jadi, bila perjalanan terlampau pendek, bateri tak sempat cas penuh dan menyebabkan kapisiti bateri menurun. Kesimpulannya, elak membuat perjalanan pendek atau sering “start” dan “off” enjin kereta anda.

Elak penggunaan sistem elektrik berlebihan

Siapa pernah terlupa “off” lampu kereta bila pergi “Mall”? Masuk kereta, enjin tak boleh hidup! Malunya kena pinjam bateri kereta lain untuk “jump” kereta anda. Kenapa jadi macamni? Ini kerana, bila enjin mati, bateri kereta anda perlu bekerja keras untuk mengekalkan sistem elektik di kereta anda. Isu ini boleh membuat bateri kereta lebih cepat habis. Mengakibatkan, bateri kereta cepat habis. Jadi, dangan pakai barang elektrik dalam kereta tanpa menghidupkan enjin kereta.
Bayangkan anda nak ke suatu destinasi, jadi anda masuk kereta lalu anda “ON” lampu depan, radio, caj telefon, caj “power bank”. Kita baca pun penat, inikan pula bateri kereta anda. Elak dari menggunakan barang elektrik dalam kereta dengan serentak. Ia akan membuatkan bateri kereta anda bekerja lebih keras. Hasilnya? Bateri cepat kong!

Menggunakan bateri kereta berkualiti

Walaupun harga sedikit tinggi, memilih jenama bateri kereta yang betul adalah pilihan yang berbaloi. Bateri kereta yang berkualiti telah dibuktikan mempunyai jangka hayat yang lebih lama. Ini bermakna, anda tidak perlu terlalu kerap tukar bateri kereta anda. Ia boleh membantu anda berjimat dalam jangka waktu panjang.Sebagai contoh, jangka hayat bateri kereta amaron (NS60L RM288) adalah 3 tahun sehingga 3 tahun setengah. Manakala untuk jangka hayat bateri kereta century (NS60L RM200) pula adalah 2 hingga 3 tahun. Jadi Ia bergantung kepada anda. Ingin yang murah atau lebih tahan lama.

2024 Proton S70 launched – All-new C-segment sedan starting from a B-segment friendly RM74k!

Finally, Proton’s return to the C-segment non-SUV space, the much anticipated S70, has been launched!

We have already seen plenty of this car during the preview sessions held at their test facility, and even previously when the car was spied on open roads without any camouflage wrap to obscure its looks.

As has already been confirmed by Proton, there are 4 variants of the S70 kicking off with the entry-level Executive (for RM73,800 ) all the way to the Flagship X (for RM94,800). Though the automaker declares it a size bigger than the Persona, its biggest rivals are the B-segment sedans, namely the Honda City, Nissan Almera, and Toyota Vios.

Proton S70 1.5T Executive – RM73,800
Proton S70 1.5T Premium – RM79,800
Proton S70 1.5T Flagship – RM89,800
Proton S70 1.5T Flagship X – RM94,800

Though priced quite similarly, the Proton S70’s offensive does include those somewhat larger dimensions as well as some rather interesting feature additions not typically seen or currently offered in rivals.

For one, the Flagship X is equipped with a sunroof – in fact, it’s the only item that sets it apart from the S70 Flagship. The other obvious example would be the 1.5-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine that’s standard across the range.

The unit is a familiar one, being the lower output option fitted to the Proton X50 that uses multi-port fuel injection instead of direct injection (MPI, not TGDI). Power is therefore 150PS and 226Nm, which is a pretty high bar to set at this price. It’s even fitted with the same 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that’s also found in the X50.

Exterior highlights include 16-inch wheels for the Executive and Premium variants while the Flagship and Flagship X get larger 17-inch alloys. While we’re on the subject, the base Executive also misses out on LED headlamps, electric folding mirrors, and leatherette for its seats and steering wheel.

Moving up to the Flagship or Flagship X also nets you a cushier and more hi-tech cabin with a fully digital LCD instrument cluster, a wireless smartphone charger, and a larger 12.3-inch central infotainment touchscreen with voice command and 4G connectivity.

Crucially, only the Flagship and Flagship X will be receiving active safety (ADAS) features such as Autonomous Emergency Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control and the like.

Proton are clearly quite excited about this new model, and so are we considering their previous all-new launches surrounded the SUV space exclusively. The local automaker expects it to do quite well against the Japanese B-segment contenders but it’s yet to be seen if it can sway SUV buyers.

That said, there’s probably only quite a small minority who reckon the S70 will overtake the X50 in terms of popularity. And even if it does, that’s still a pretty good problem for Proton to have.

Of course, the S70 is very much related to the Geely Emgrand and built on the same shared BMA platform that’s also used as the basis for the X50. There will be 7 exterior colours including Snow White, Armour Silver, Space Grey, Passion Red, Marine Blue, Teal Bayou Green, and Quartz Black (that final one being exclusive to the Premium X variant).

Proton will be offering the S70 with a standard 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, 5-year data package at 1GB/month, and 6 times free labour service.

For the first 3,000 customers, there is an Early Bird package which adds an Aerokit worth RM3,130, an RM500 service voucher, and an upgraded Proton Insurance Programme.
