Verdict
At RM648,888, the Mercedes-Benz EQS costs RM348,988 more than the MG Cyberster, but answers a very different Malaysian brief: five seats, a 610-litre boot and a claimed 782 km range make it the long-distance family car. Its 107.8-kWh battery and 200-kW DC charging also give it the stronger touring hardware. The Cyberster is the more focused two-seat convertible, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 5.0 seconds against 6.2 seconds, with powered scissor doors and 2.5-kW V2L. Choose by use, not badge or body style.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQS if you need five seats, 610 litres of luggage room and 782 km of EV range for regular long-distance travel.
Pick the MG Cyberster if you want a RM299,900 two-seat convertible with quicker 5.0-second acceleration and 2.5-kW V2L.
