Verdict
The EQS sedan costs RM648,888, RM23,000 more than the RM625,888 EQS SUV, but its 782-km range is 109 km ahead and its 610-litre boot dwarfs the SUV’s 195 litres. That matters on long Malaysian interstate runs and airport-duty luggage. The SUV answers with seven seats, all-wheel drive, 355 hp and 800 Nm, plus 22-kW AC charging; it is also marginally quicker at 6.1 seconds to 100 km/h. Choose the sedan for distance and rear-seat luxury, the SUV for carrying people.

EQS SUV
