Verdict
For Malaysian buyers, the AMG EQE is the rationally extravagant choice at RM649,888, undercutting the AMG GT 4-Door by RM1.439 million while bringing a 90.6-kWh battery, 527 km EV range and 200-kW DC charging. Its 950 Nm dual-motor output still gets it to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. The GT 4-Door is the outright performance machine: its 630-hp 3,982-cc twin-turbo V8 reaches 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and 316 km/h, but annual road tax is RM6,549 against RM1,640. It also sacrifices a fifth seat for its sharper brief.
