Verdict

The G80 M3 is a narrowly focused proposition: 503 hp, petrol power and all-wheel drive in a five-seat compact executive sedan. Its price sits well above every listed same-class rival; it is RM402,912 more than the Mercedes-Benz AMG C-Class and RM406,722 more than the Alfa Romeo Giulia. That makes it a specialist purchase for buyers set on this particular drivetrain layout, not a price-led choice.
