Verdict
At RM498,888, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC Coupe costs RM76,112 less than the RM575,000 Porsche Macan Electric, yet reaches 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds against 5.7 seconds and brings all-wheel drive. Its 545-litre boot also narrowly beats the Porsche’s 540 litres. The Macan answers with a 100 kWh battery, 641 km EV range and 270 kW DC charging, which matters more if home or public charging fits your Malaysian routine. It is also covered for eight years/160,000 km, versus four years with unlimited mileage for the Mercedes. Petrol access and outright pace favour the AMG; daily electric running points to the Porsche.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC Coupe if you want RM76,112 back in your pocket, 4.8-second performance and all-wheel drive without relying on charging.
Pick the Porsche Macan Electric if a 641 km electric range, 270 kW DC charging and eight-year/160,000 km battery warranty suit your routine.
