Verdict
The RM1,709,000 price gap is not subtle: the AMG GT 4-Door costs RM2,088,888 and brings 630 hp, all-wheel drive and a 2.9-second 0-100 km/h time, but annual road tax is RM6,549. At RM379,888, the rear-wheel-drive EQE is the Malaysian ownership case, with 669 km EV range, 22 kW AC and 170 kW DC charging, plus RM305 road tax. It is far slower at 6.4 seconds, yet its 3,120 mm wheelbase, five seats and split-folding rear bench suit routine passenger duty better.
