Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz Maybach EQS SUV costs RM1,399,112 less than the Land Rover Range Rover, yet its two motors produce 649 hp and 950 Nm, enough for a 4.4-second 0-100 km/h time. Its 118 kWh battery claims 560 km of range and accepts up to 200 kW DC charging, while annual road tax is RM1,840 against the Range Rover’s RM3,872. The Range Rover answers with five seats, an 818-litre boot and a 250 km/h top speed. For Malaysian buyers carrying family or luggage, that practicality is substantial; for chauffeur-style four-seat luxury and EV running, take the Maybach.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover if you need five seats, an 818-litre boot and petrol V8 performance with a 250 km/h top speed.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz Maybach EQS SUV if you want 560 km EV range, 200 kW DC charging, richer rear-seat equipment and a far lower purchase price.
