Is the maintenance cost of Mercedes E-Class expensive high?

The maintenance cost of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is indeed higher than that of ordinary brands, which matches its position as a luxury vehicle. Taking routine maintenance (such as oil change and filter replacement) as an example, the cost at official authorized maintenance centers (such as Hap Seng Star or Cycle & Carriage) is approximately between RM 1,500 and RM 3,000 (depending on the specific model and engine type). For major maintenance (such as transmission fluid change and brake system inspection), the cost may reach RM 5,000 to RM 8,000. If it's the AMG version, the maintenance cost will be even higher because the prices of high - performance components (such as AMG - specific brake pads and high - performance oil) are relatively expensive. In addition, Mercedes - Benz usually offers a Service Package, which allows you to get same maintenance cost for several years. It is recommended to ask the dealer when purchasing. In the long run, the E - Class has slightly higher maintenance costs compared to the C - Class (due to the larger engine and more expensive parts), but it is still lower than flagship models like the S - Class. To reduce maintenance expenses, you can choose an Extended Warranty or have regular maintenance at authorized centers to maintain the warranty eligibility and avoid the quality risks that may be caused by third - party repairs. Overall, the E - Class has relatively high maintenance costs, but its luxurious experience and high - end after - sales service still make it very popular in the high - end commercial vehicle market in Malaysia.
