Verdict

At RM2,088,888, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-Door costs RM150,000 less than the RM2,238,888 Mercedes-Benz AMG S-Class, yet reaches 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds against 3.3 seconds and is 227 kg lighter. It is the driver’s choice, with 630 hp, a 316 km/h top speed and a 456-litre boot. The S-Class trades that edge for limousine priorities: five seats, a 265 mm longer wheelbase, air suspension and serious rear-seat hardware. Its 31 km EV range also beats the GT 4-Door’s 12 km, useful for short urban runs.

AMG GT 4-Door

Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-Door if 2.9-second acceleration, a 316 km/h top speed and a 456-litre boot matter more than rear-seat luxury.

AMG S-Class

Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG S-Class if you need five seats, a 3,216 mm wheelbase, 31 km of EV range and a properly equipped rear cabin.
