Verdict
At RM722,888 versus RM698,000, the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLE asks RM24,888 more but gives a broader brief: 443 hp, 650 Nm, all-wheel drive, four seats and a 420-litre boot. The Toyota GR Supra is tighter and more focused, with 383 hp, 500 Nm, rear-wheel drive, a manual gearbox and two seats. The stopwatch is close — 4.2 seconds plays 4.4 — and both stop at 250 km/h, so the choice is less about outright pace than daily use versus driver involvement.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLE if you want the quicker, more powerful coupe with four seats, all-wheel drive and the larger boot.
Pick the Toyota GR Supra if you want a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive coupe with a manual gearbox, a lower price and a longer warranty.
