Ford Everest vs Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Class
Verdict
At RM266,388 versus RM1,948,888, this is a huge-money split between two Truck/4X4 SUVs. The Ford Everest is the practical call: seven seats, a longer 2,900 mm wheelbase and far lower RM438 road tax. But the Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Class brings serious performance numbers, with 577 hp, 800 Nm, all-wheel drive and a 4.4-second 0-100 km/h time. It also has a much larger 667-litre boot, so the Ford’s extra seats come with a luggage-space trade-off.
Pick the Ford Everest if you need seven seats, diesel running and a far lower purchase price.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Class if you want the much stronger 577 hp/800 Nm drivetrain, all-wheel drive and the listed 4.4-second sprint.
