Verdict
At RM735,800, the BMW X6 saves RM138,088 yet brings 335 hp, 450 Nm, an 83-litre tank and a 2,975 mm wheelbase. That is serious money left over, but the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE Coupe answers with 429 hp and 560 Nm, reaching 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds against 5.4, plus a 655-litre boot. For Malaysian buyers who want 18-way heated, ventilated and massaging front seats, along with adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, the Mercedes earns its premium. The BMW is the sensible call if tank capacity and a five-year extended warranty matter more.
Pick the BMW X6 if you want to keep RM138,088 in hand while getting the larger 83-litre fuel tank, longer 2,975 mm wheelbase and five-year extended warranty.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE Coupe if you want 429 hp, 560 Nm, a quicker 5.0-second sprint and considerably more front-seat luxury.
