BMW X6 vs Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV
Verdict
The BMW X6 is the quicker, more luggage-friendly SUV here, with 0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds, a 250 km/h top speed and 580 litres of boot space. But the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV costs RM625,888 against the BMW’s RM734,800, so the RM108,912 gap goes the other way: it buys you seven seats, 673 km of EV range, lower RM455 annual road tax and a four-year warranty. For Malaysia, this is pace and boot space versus EV running costs and extra seats.
Pick the BMW X6 if you want the faster SUV, a bigger 580-litre boot and a petrol-hybrid drivetrain with an 83-litre fuel tank.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV if you want seven seats, 673 km of electric range, lower road tax and a longer four-year warranty.
