Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-Door costs RM2,088,888 against the Porsche Panamera’s RM1,300,000, a vast RM788,888 gap before the annual RM6,549 versus RM1,865 road tax. The Mercedes is dramatically faster, reaching 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds rather than 5.1, with 630 hp and 900 Nm. But the Porsche is the more usable Malaysian long-distance sedan: it has five seats, five doors, a 494-litre boot and a 90-litre tank, while also carrying a four-year, 100,000-km warranty. The AMG’s two motors, 12-km EV range and 3.7-kW AC charging add a short electric-running option.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-Door if 2.9-second 0-100 km/h pace, 630 hp, 900 Nm and its 12-km EV range matter more than price and rear-seat capacity.
Pick the Porsche Panamera if you want five seats, a larger 494-litre boot, lower running tax and RM788,888 left in your pocket.
