“In 1951, when Cycle & Carriage was awarded the much sort after Mercedes-Benz franchise, we started our Mercedes-Benz business along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (formerly known as Batu Road). It was the forerunner in automotive retailing. As time went by the location was not condusive for an automobile showroom, we moved the business to Regal House along Jalan Tun Razak, near the Kuala Lumpur City Centre area, which was a much easier location to access. And today, 65 years later, we have moved to this location,” said Mercedes-Benz Malaysia Vice President Sales & Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Cars, Mark Raine.

This Autohaus sets itself apart in appearance with black ceiling, wood finishing, multiple colors wallpaper and lights which amplifies the vibrancy of the brand, and the chosen location permits such loud interpretation,” he added.
