Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the RM389,000 GLC EQ is the rational pick. It matches the RM399,000 version’s 415 hp, 800 Nm, 85 kWh battery, 330 kW DC charging and 4.7-second 0-100 km/h time, yet carries a 597 km stated range against 584 km. The RM10,000 gap brings no listed hardware or cabin-equipment gain: both have the 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen, panoramic sunroof and active ambient lighting. With identical RM575 annual road tax, the dearer version is difficult to justify on paper.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz GLC EQ if you want the lower RM389,000 entry price and 13 km more stated range without sacrificing performance or charging speed.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz GLC EQ if this is the specific RM399,000 trim you want, but verify its unlisted equipment before paying RM10,000 more.
