Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz AMG EQE is the more complete Malaysian daily driver: 617 hp, 950 Nm, all-wheel drive, five seats and a 430-litre boot make its RM649,888 price serve a clear purpose. Its 90.6-kWh battery also reaches 527 km, only 19 km beyond the MG Cyberster’s 508 km, but 200-kW DC and 11-kW AC charging are materially quicker. At RM299,900, the Cyberster costs RM349,988 less, has a 5.0-second 0-100 km/h time and only two seats, yet its convertible body and powered scissor doors give it a very different brief. Choose by use, not range alone.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQE if you need five-seat executive-car practicality, 617 hp all-wheel-drive pace and faster 200-kW DC charging.
Pick the MG Cyberster if you want a two-seat electric convertible for RM349,988 less, with V2L and powered scissor doors.
