Verdict
The EQE SUV is the sharper buy for most Malaysian households: RM398,888 buys a 596 km range, 520-litre boot and a surprising 4.9-second 0-100 km/h time, despite its single 288 hp rear motor. The RM227,000 dearer EQS SUV brings seven seats, all-wheel drive, 800 Nm, a larger 118 kWh battery and 673 km range, plus 200 kW DC charging. But it is 262 mm longer, carries only 195 litres of boot space and is slower to 100 km/h at 6.1 seconds. Choose it for people-moving luxury, not outright pace.
