Verdict
At RM406,800, the BMW X4 undercuts the Range Rover Evoque by RM92,000 and gives Malaysian buyers a much stronger 249 hp and 350 Nm drivetrain. Its 6.3-second 0-100 km/h time is 2.3 seconds ahead, while adaptive suspension, rear cross-traffic collision prevention and auto parking add useful everyday substance. The Evoque counters with a larger 591-litre boot, adaptive cruise control and a five-year/150,000-km warranty. It is also 380 mm shorter, but nearly 78 mm wider, so the choice is not simply about parking ease.
Pick the BMW X4 if you want 249 hp, a 6.3-second century sprint and RM92,000 left over.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque if a 591-litre boot, adaptive cruise control and five-year warranty matter more than outright pace.
