Price list and spec sheets for the Malaysian W212 Mercedes-Benz E-Class facelift are now available at Mercedes-Benz dealerships, with the price lists showing a 1st August 2013 effective date. As hinted by the facelifted E200 that we saw at JPJ Putrajaya, both the E200 and E250 CGI are now available in Avantgarde trim. The pre-facelift W212 E200 was an Elegance car.

Both the Mercedes-Benz E200 Avantgarde and E250 Avantgarde should have similiar exterior looks, as Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has opted for the sports grille with the integrated star for both cars instead of the more traditional grille that's accompanied with a hood ornament. The only difference is the E250 Avantgarde gets an additional Exterior Sports Package which includes 18 inch 5 twin spoke alloys with mixed tyres, larger perforated disc brakes at the front with calipers that have Mercedes-Benz lettering, and two square integrated tailpipes at the rear.

The E250 Avantgarde also gains Remote Bootlid Closing and an Electric Panoramic Sliding Glass Sunroof over the E200. Other than that, both the cars have very similiar equipment lists. The E200 seems to have had a massive specs and appearance overhaul as it even gains ARTICO leather on the upper section of the dashboard, which was reserved for the E250 and upwards for the pre-facelift. Both cars also have LED headlamps with Dynamic Light System.

The E200 Avantgarde has a price tag of RM 366,888 OTR without insurance, while the E250 Avantgarde has a price tag of RM405,888 OTR without insurance. Both cars are locally assembled. We're expecting the facelifte W212 to be launched this month. Have a look at the two spec sheets in the gallery below.
