Verdict
The Ioniq 6 N delivers the harder performance case: its two motors produce 601 hp and 740 Nm for 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, versus 302 hp, 400 Nm and 5.5 seconds for the AMG GLB. An 84 kWh battery, 487 km range and 350 kW DC charging suit Malaysian buyers with dependable charging access. The GLB is the more practical shape, with five doors and a 570-litre boot, while its annual road tax is RM436 against the Hyundai’s RM1,440. Choose the Mercedes if luggage access and recurring tax matter more than outright pace.
Pick the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N if you can charge at home or work and want 601 hp, 487 km of EV range and a 3.2-second 0-100 km/h sprint.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB if you need an SUV with five doors, a 570-litre boot and substantially lower annual road tax.
