Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the EQS450 4Matic is the rational choice at RM625,888: it carries a larger 118-kWh battery and goes 673 km, 60 km farther than the EQS580 4Matic. The RM74,000 step up to the EQS580 buys serious pace, with 536 hp and a 4.6-second 0-100 km/h time against 355 hp and 6.1 seconds. Yet charging rates, seven-seat layout, safety kit and cabin equipment are the same. Unless that acceleration matters, take the longer-ranging EQS450 and save on annual road tax too.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV EQS450 4Matic if 673 km of range, RM74,000 lower purchase cost and RM455 annual road tax matter more than a 1.5-second 0-100 km/h advantage.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV EQS580 4Matic if its 536 hp, 858 Nm and 4.6-second 0-100 km/h sprint justify RM74,000 more to you.
