Verdict
For most Malaysian buyers, the EQE is the rational cross-shop: its 669-km EV range, 22-kW AC and 170-kW DC charging, five-seat cabin and 3,120-mm wheelbase make it far easier to live with. The AMG GT 4-Door is the outright performance choice, hitting 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds against 6.4 seconds and reaching 316 km/h rather than 210 km/h. But its 12-km EV range and 3.7-kW AC charging limit electric running, while the RM1,709,000 price gap is enormous.
AMG GT 4-Door
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-Door if 630 hp, 900 Nm, all-wheel drive and a 2.9-second 0-100 km/h time matter more than EV range and cost.
EQE
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQE if you want a five-seat executive EV with 669 km of range, 170-kW DC charging and a far lower entry price.
