Verdict
At RM735,800, the BMW X6 costs RM353,088 less than the RM1,088,888 Mercedes-Benz Maybach EQS SUV, has five seats and a 580-litre boot, and reaches 250 km/h. The Maybach counters with a 118-kWh battery, 560-km EV range and 200-kW DC charging, plus 649 hp, 950 Nm and a 4.4-second 0-100 km/h time. Its 3,210-mm wheelbase, twin rear captain’s chairs and 11 airbags suit rear-seat luxury, but its 440-litre boot and four-seat layout are less flexible. For most owner-drivers, the BMW is the sharper buy; for electric rear-seat luxury, take the Maybach.
