Verdict
For Malaysian buyers, the RM625,888 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is the rational choice: it seats seven, reaches 673 km on its 118-kWh battery and costs RM463,000 less. The RM1,088,888 Mercedes-Benz Maybach EQS SUV trades that third row for four individual seats and a much larger 440-litre boot, while its 649 hp and 950 Nm cut the 0-100 km/h time to 4.4 seconds. Its RM1,840 annual road tax versus RM455 also matters. Choose the Maybach for its rear-cabin treatment, not for longer-distance ability.
