The first row is good. But the 2nd row is dark, affedted by tall shoulder door line and lack of legroom, A relatively restricted and confined space.
It gives the extra DAPVIP privacy so? Give them bigger glass and they will agong tint until cannot see thru anyways, so this is better. Merc listens to their customers.
Rated 437km for RM390,000. Wished the powerbank is larger.
Wish there will be EQV in Malaysia
