Verdict
At RM421,990, the Audi Q5 Sportback undercuts the RM498,800 Range Rover Evoque by RM76,810 while bringing 268 hp and 400 Nm, against 200 hp and 320 Nm. That is the stronger mechanical case for a Malaysian buyer, plus a surround-view camera, ventilated memory front seats and a 14.5-inch screen. The Evoque answers with a larger 591-litre boot, 21-inch wheels and a five-year/150,000-km warranty; its 8.6-second 0-100 km/h claim is the only acceleration figure here. Choose it only if those practical and warranty gains matter more than the large saving.
Pick the Audi Q5 Sportback if you want to save RM76,810 while getting 68 hp and 80 Nm more, plus ventilated memory seats and a surround-view camera.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque if a 591-litre boot, space-saver spare tyre and five-year/150,000-km warranty outweigh its higher price and lower outputs.
