Jaguar XF vs Mercedes-Benz EQE
Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz EQE is cheaper at RM379,888 against the Jaguar XF’s RM424,528, yet it has more power, quicker acceleration, more airbags and auto emergency braking. Its 90.6 kWh battery and 669 km EV range also suit buyers ready to move away from petrol. The XF counters with a larger 540-litre boot, a higher 248 km/h top speed and a longer five-year warranty. For a Malaysian executive sedan buyer, this is practicality and petrol familiarity versus stronger EV numbers.
Pick the Jaguar XF if you want a petrol executive sedan with a bigger 540-litre boot, 248 km/h top speed and five-year warranty.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQE if you want the lower RM379,888 price, quicker 6.4-second acceleration and 669 km electric range.
