Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the AMG EQE is the rationally quicker route into serious AMG pace: it costs RM1,439,000 less, carries five people, and has a 90.6-kWh battery with 527 km of electric range. Its 617-hp dual-motor drivetrain still reaches 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. The AMG GT 4-Door is the outright performance choice, cutting that to 2.9 seconds and reaching 316 km/h, but it asks RM2,088,888, has four seats and a listed 12 km of electric range. The EQE also saves RM4,909 a year in road tax.
