Which variant to buy

Most buyers should pick the B5 Core at RM328,888 if they do not need plug-in charging or extreme performance. Its 259 hp mild-hybrid petrol powertrain, all-wheel drive and automatic transmission cover the essentials. Pay RM362,888 for the T8 Ultra if the plug-in-hybrid system and 460 hp matter to you. The RM34,000 gap buys a fundamentally different powertrain and 201 hp more; check the final equipment list before treating it as a trim upgrade alone.
