Verdict
The RM40,000 step from RM958,888 to RM998,888 buys the Edition One’s black 20-inch AMG 10-spoke alloys, not extra performance or equipment. Both run four electric motors producing 579 hp and 1,164 Nm, use a 116 kWh battery, quote 473 km of range and reach 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. Malaysian buyers also face the same RM1,340 annual road tax. Unless the black-wheel treatment is central to the look you want, the regular G580 with EQ Technology is the rational pick; on paper, the Edition One is trim, not mechanicals.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz G-Class G580 with EQ Technology if you want the same 579 hp, 116 kWh battery and 473 km range for RM40,000 less.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz G-Class G580 with EQ Technology Edition One if the black 20-inch AMG 10-spoke alloy wheels justify paying RM998,888.
