Verdict
The Stelvio makes the sharper case for Malaysian drivers: its 276 hp and 400 Nm cut 0-100 km/h to 5.7 seconds, a full second ahead of the Velar’s 247 hp, 365 Nm and 6.7 seconds. It also gets adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking and lane-keeping correction, plus a 5-year/150,000-km warranty. The Velar’s RM158,672 premium brings a larger 673-litre boot, panoramic roof and 17-speaker Meridian audio, but not stronger performance. Choose space and cabin kit only if those matter more than speed and driver assistance.
Pick the Alfa Romeo Stelvio if you want 276 hp, a 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time and more active safety equipment for substantially less money.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Velar if a 673-litre boot, panoramic roof, 21-inch wheels and 17-speaker Meridian system matter more than outright pace.
