Verdict
The EQS580 is the fast one: 536 hp, 858 Nm and 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds against the EQS450’s 355 hp, 800 Nm and 6.1 seconds. But the RM74,000 gap does not buy more seats, charging speed or cabin kit on paper. The EQS450 has the larger 118 kWh battery and the longer 673 km range, while the EQS580 drops to 108.4 kWh and 613 km. For a Malaysian buyer, the cheaper car looks the more sensible seven-seat luxury EV unless that extra punch matters.
EQS450 4Matic
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV EQS450 4Matic if you want the longer 673 km range, lower RM455 road tax and the same listed luxury kit for less money.
EQS580 4Matic
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV EQS580 4Matic if you want the quicker 4.6-second 0-100 km/h time and 536 hp more than the extra cost and shorter range bother you.
