Verdict
At RM398,888, the five-seat EQE SUV is RM227,000 cheaper yet reaches 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, 1.2 seconds ahead of the EQS SUV. Its 596 km range is only 77 km shy, and its 520-litre boot dwarfs the EQS SUV’s 195 litres. The RM625,888 EQS SUV makes its case with seven seats, dual motors and all-wheel drive, 800 Nm, a 118 kWh battery and 673 km range. For Malaysian families needing a third row and rear-seat screens, that extra spend buys real utility and hardware; otherwise, the EQE SUV is the sharper buy.
