Verdict
The standard Mercedes-Benz G-Class G580 with EQ Technology is the cleaner buy on paper: RM958,888 against RM998,888, so the Edition One asks RM40,000 more. Both use four motors with 579 hp and 1,164 Nm, do 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, have a 116 kWh battery, 473 km range, 11 kW AC and 200 kW DC charging. The visible listed change is the 20-inch AMG 10-spoke black alloys on the Edition One. Unless that finish matters, keep the money.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz G-Class G580 with EQ Technology if you want the same electric G-Class hardware, range, charging and safety kit for RM40,000 less.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz G-Class G580 with EQ Technology Edition One if the 20-inch AMG 10-spoke black alloys are worth the extra spend to you.
