You could have saved RM350,000 if you waited 3 years to buy this EQS 500 electric car
As December 31st 2025 comes closer, we are seeing some interesting discounts on electric vehicles (especially in the premium segment) because the shiny new Chinese electric car brands are taken all the attention away from premium electric car brands with their much lower selling prices (mostly below RM250k) and almost similar levels of cabin luxury, dashboard screens and technology features.
Add to the fact that early Malaysian premium electric car buyers were influenced by ‘instagrammers’ and ‘tiktokers’ who were either lacking in clothes during filming or had high coating of makeup, were very convincing in their sales efforts.
Today, these online ‘sales people’ are selling instant noodles, clothes, smartphones, coffee, food and also shiny new EV’s and ICE cars but NOT taking the angry/negative feedback from early premium EV buyers who paid the full selling price.
Instead it is some of us motoring media that are being asked why their shiny new premium electric cars have dropped heavily in value.
The German and Korean electric car models (including premium Chinese EV’s) have to discount their vehicles as the competition is selling at prices that are hard to ignore and many Malaysian EV buyers have turned their attention away from legacy premium car brands.
This Mercedes-Benz EQS 500 4MATIC was launched in Malaysia as a locally-assembled (CKD) model in February 2023, replacing the earlier fully imported EQS 450+ and becoming the brand’s first CKD EV in the country, offered at a more competitive price (around RM649k) with increased power and all-wheel drive, featuring a dual-motor setup for 449hp and a 696km range and it was sold with a 4-year warranty and 10-year battery warranty from the factory.
The Mercedes-Benz EQS 500 4MATIC redefines electric luxury with uncompromising comfort, innovation and performance.
