Hyundai Ioniq 6 N vs Mercedes-Benz AMG A-Class Sedan
Verdict
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 N is the blunt performance choice: 601 hp, all-wheel drive and 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, with an 84.0 kWh battery and 487 km EV range. The Mercedes-Benz AMG A-Class Sedan costs RM343,888 against the Hyundai’s RM449,888, so the RM106,000 saving is serious money for a Malaysian buyer. It is slower at 4.7 seconds, but still AWD, has 420 litres of boot space listed and pays far less annual road tax.
Pick the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N if you want the harder-hitting EV, the quicker 3.2-second sprint and the longer 8-year warranty.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG A-Class Sedan if you want the lower purchase price, lower RM376 road tax and a listed 420-litre boot.
