Mercedes-Benz AMG EQE vs Mercedes-Benz EQE
Verdict
The AMG EQE is the fast one: dual motors, all-wheel drive, 617 hp and 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. The EQE is calmer but far more sensible for Malaysia, with 669 km range versus 527 km, and road tax of RM305 instead of RM1,640. Both use a 90.6 kWh battery, sit on the same 3,120 mm wheelbase and have a 430-litre boot, so the RM270,000 gap buys pace and traction, not more cabin or luggage space.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQE if you want the 617 hp dual-motor car, all-wheel drive and 3.5-second 0-100 km/h performance.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQE if you want the longer 669 km range, lower RM305 road tax and the same sedan footprint for much less money.
