Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE is the serious performance choice: its 603 hp and 850 Nm cut the 0-100 km/h time to 3.9 seconds, against 429 hp, 560 Nm and 5.0 seconds for the AMG GLE Coupe. It costs RM1,191,888 versus RM873,888, so the RM318,000 gap also brings air suspension and a four-year unlimited-mileage warranty. The Coupe is 125 kg lighter, has a 655-litre boot and a space-saver spare, making it the more practical buy if outright pace is not the priority. Both retain AWD, five seats and a 250 km/h top speed.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE if 603 hp, 850 Nm, air suspension and a four-year warranty matter more than the RM318,000 premium.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE Coupe if you want the lower-cost AMG GLE option with a larger 655-litre boot, a space-saver spare and massage front seats.
