Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV vs Mercedes-Benz Maybach EQS SUV
Verdict
At RM625,888 against RM1,088,888, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is the sensible buy here: same 118.0 kWh battery, same 5,125 mm length and 3,210 mm wheelbase, but seven seats and a longer 673 km range. The Mercedes-Benz Maybach EQS SUV is much quicker, with 649 hp and 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, and its four-seat layout gets a larger 440-litre boot. But the RM463,000 gap buys pace, airbags and Maybach positioning, not extra battery or size.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV if you need seven seats, the longer 673 km range and lower RM455 annual road tax.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz Maybach EQS SUV if you want the stronger 649 hp dual-motor setup, 4.4-second 0-100 km/h time and four-seat cabin.
