In a private event organised by Shahnawaz Motors, the official distributors of Mercedes brand in Pakistan, Mercedes E-200 (W213) has been launched in Pakistan. The E-200 is a luxury sedan that is equipped with the latest technology and features. The Fifth generation E-class was unveiled at the 2016 North American International Auto show. This Mercedes is similar in design to the larger S-Class (W222) and the C-Class (W205).
Mercedes-Benz claims that the whole development process of the car stretched to over 4 years. The company produced 1,200 prototypes and drove the cars for a combined 12 million kilometres. The car has been tested in some of the world’s toughest conditions, from sub-zero temperatures in the snow to the world’s sweltering hot deserts. Over 10,000 autonomous braking tests were conducted by Mercedes-Benz for the E-class. More importantly, it took 1,200 engineers to make this amazing car.
The E-200 in Pakistan comes with a 1991cc Inline-4 Engine. This engine produces 135 KW (181bhp) of power and has a torque of 300N.m. It does 0-100km/h in 7.7seconds. The car has a top speed of 240 Km/h.
All engines, except for the AMG V8 come with a 9G- Tronic nine-speed automatic gear box as standard. With prices starting from PKR 11,995,000, the car is developed and manufactured to offer luxury with style.
Stay tuned as we will be covering this car further in detail.
really shahnawaz motors?
Learn a little from audi pakistan. selling CLA for 7.5 million while the A3 starts from 4. Bravo!
The common man’s car :p
Duties and other taxes plus a whole different level when it comes to the class..
Is Audi exempt from those duties and taxes?
Besides, Audi is selling the A6, let me repeat that for you, the A6! for 7.5 million.
The CLA barely rivals the A3, forget about the A6, there is no justification for that price
Mercedes is a superior brand then audi. Audi needed the transporter just like Honda needed the fast and the furious but cars like Toyota and Mercedes require no movies and advertisements they speak for their superiority on their own. Lexus and Mercedes no match. A Lexus suv and a Mercedes car the best combo one can have.
“The car has been tested in some of the world’s toughest conditions”
lol Pakistan may yeh speed breaker par he kahtam ho jay gi ;p
you’re right. I just checked the prices A3 is priced around $32k and CLA $33k. wow. Shahnawaz Motors are really ripping people off
Actually the Government is ripping people off with the nonsensical taxes on engine CC instead of the value of the car. The difference in most countries between a baseline Audi A6 and a baseline Mercedes E class is $2500 USD. Here in Pakistan for comparably equipped cars, the difference is $50,000 USD ! simply because the Merc E200 has 200cc more engine displacement than the Audi A6. The ironic part is the 1.8L A6 is almost 1.5 seconds faster than the 2.0 L Merc 🙂
I’ve owned a brand new E class and currently own a brand new A6. After keeping Mercs for 20 years, even if given the choice of buying an A6 or an E class at the “SAME PRICE”, I would now pick the Audi! They are crazy good cars.
Toyota ? seriously ?
Talking about the duties, I actually refer to Shahnawaz Motors here who are selling 1595cc CLA for 7.5 Million, whereas the Audi Pakistan is selling 1800cc Audi A3 for just 4.45 Million & The Duty Bracket for 1500cc-1800cc is same.
So how can Shahnawaz not be guilty? They’re Greedy Crooks selling on Big Margins for Many Years & like the Big-3(Indus, Atlas & P.S.) who just aren’t ready at all to give the Extra dough they get on Top
Yes. Toyota requires no advert.
Not exactly. Germany offers folk’s wagon aka Volkswagen for the common folks.
Audi is selling cheaper because the Audi Germany is providing the cars on very low rates lower then retail rates in Germany
