BMW M4 Coupe vs Land Rover Range Rover Evoque
Verdict
The BMW M4 Coupe is the expensive, fast choice here: RM878,800 buys a 2,993 cc petrol engine with 530 hp and 650 Nm, AWD and a 3.5-second 0-100 km/h time. The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is RM498,800, much slower at 8.6 seconds with 200 hp and 320 Nm, but it answers with five seats, a 591-litre boot, a 67-litre tank, five-year warranty cover and RM439 annual road tax. For Malaysia, this is pace against daily space and lower running tax.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe if you want the 530 hp car, the 3.5-second sprint and can live with four seats, a 440-litre boot and RM2,113 annual road tax.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque if five seats, 591 litres of boot space, a five-year warranty and RM439 annual road tax matter more than outright pace.
