BMW X6 vs Land Rover Range Rover Sport
Verdict
The BMW X6 is RM963,200 cheaper, yet it is fractionally quicker to 100 km/h at 5.4 seconds against 5.7 seconds and has the higher 250 km/h top speed. The Land Rover Range Rover Sport counters with more output — 396 hp and 550 Nm versus 335 hp and 450 Nm — plus a much bigger 835-litre boot and five-year warranty. For a Malaysian buyer, the Land Rover’s extra money mainly buys space, width, height and warranty, not straight-line pace.
Pick the BMW X6 if you want the cheaper car, the quicker 5.4-second 0-100 km/h time and seven airbags, and can live with 580 litres of boot space.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Sport if the 835-litre boot, 550 Nm and five-year warranty matter more than the much higher price and 5.7-second sprint.
