Verdict
At RM296,888 against the Cyberster’s RM299,900, the EQA is RM3,012 cheaper and makes the stronger case for a Malaysian household: five seats, five doors, a 340-litre boot and 429 km of EV range. The Cyberster is the focused weekend choice. Its rear motor delivers 338 hp and 475 Nm for 0-100 km/h in 5.0 seconds, versus 188 hp, 375 Nm and 8.9 seconds for the EQA, while its 77 kWh battery reaches 508 km. But it has only two seats and a 249-litre boot.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQA if you need five seats, five doors, a 340-litre boot and faster 11 kW AC charging.
Pick the MG Cyberster if you want 338 hp rear-wheel-drive performance, 508 km of range and powered scissor doors in a two-seat convertible.
