Mercedes-Benz A250 4Matic vs BMW i4 eDrive35

HotshotS — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 16:46:40 +0800

I'm currently planning to buy a sole daily car with a budget of around RM 260k and these 2 cars are the options that caught my eyes.

Mercedes A250 4Matic (RM 263,888)

Reason of choosing:
-Lighter & more agile
-AWD
-Higher top speed
-More modern interior & better ambient lightning

Verdict: ICE cars have already reached the bottleneck in terms of improvement in technology so we're getting a car at the peak of its power and this is also likely to be the last A-Class and also the last entry level sedan from Mercedes-Benz priced below RM 290k. In addition, we do get a peace of mind whenever we feel like going above 150km/h on the highway because there's no anxiety of depleting the battery exponentially whenever we go above certain speed.

BMW i4 eDrive35 RWD (RM 273,800)

Reason of choosing:
-Bigger car with more space
-Higher horsepower & torque
-Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go
-Rear air-conditioner vent
-Automatic tailgate

Verdict: BEV cars are still relatively new and they are still rapidly improving and it's very likely that there will be more BEV cars flooding the market with better technology, better BEV platform, improved battery and range, thus making the i4 prone to rapid obsolescence. However, due to the current exemption of import duty & excise duty on CBU BEV until the end of 2025, it's still a value purchase I think.

Based on the above considerations, if you were to buy one of these cars, which one would you choose and why?
