BMW X6 vs Land Rover Range Rover
Verdict
The BMW X6 is the rational buy here: it asks RM1,753,200 less, yet still gives AWD, a conventional automatic, 335 hp, 450 Nm and a 5.4-second 0-100 km/h time. The Land Rover Range Rover plays in another spend bracket, and the extra money buys real numbers: 523 hp, 750 Nm, 4.6 seconds to 100 km/h, an 818-litre boot and a five-year warranty. Both seat five and top out at 250 km/h, so this is budget versus excess space and shove.
Pick the BMW X6 if you want AWD pace and five seats without paying Range Rover money, and can live with 580 litres of boot space and a two-year warranty.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover if you want the bigger, harder-hitting SUV, with 523 hp, 750 Nm, 818 litres of boot space and a five-year warranty.
