Verdict

At RM958,888, the G580 with EQ Technology costs RM40,000 less than the RM998,888 Edition One. Both give Malaysian owners four motors producing 579 hp and 1,164 Nm, a 116 kWh battery, 473 km of range and 200 kW DC charging, plus a 4.7-second 0-100 km/h time. The Edition One premium is confined to its black 20-inch AMG wheels. Pick it only if that darker wheel finish matters; otherwise, the standard G580 delivers the same electric G-Class hardware for less.
