BMW X6 vs Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE Coupe
Verdict
At RM 734,800 against RM 873,888, the BMW X6 asks RM 139,088 less, yet both are CBU executive SUVs with five seats, all-wheel drive, conventional automatics, seven airbags and 250 km/h top speeds. The Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE Coupe turns the money into muscle: 429 hp and 560 Nm versus 335 hp and 450 Nm, trimming 0–100 km/h from 5.4 to 5.0 seconds. The BMW counters with a longer 2,975 mm wheelbase and an 83-litre tank; the Mercedes answers with a much bigger 655-litre boot.
Pick the BMW X6 if you want the lower price, longer wheelbase and larger fuel tank more than the extra power.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE Coupe if you want stronger acceleration and the bigger boot, and can live with the higher price.
