Ford Everest vs Land Rover Range Rover
Verdict
The Ford Everest is the practical, lower-cost buy here: at RM266,388, it gets seven seats, diesel torque of 405 Nm and an 80-litre tank, with RM438 annual road tax. The Land Rover Range Rover sits in another tax bracket at RM2,488,000, but its 4.4-litre petrol V8 brings 523 hp, 750 Nm, all-wheel drive, 4.6-second 0-100 km/h pace and an 818-litre boot. For Malaysia, this is less a close spec fight than a choice between three-row utility and luxury performance.
Pick the Ford Everest if you need seven seats, diesel torque, rear-wheel-drive simplicity and much lower annual road tax.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover if you want 523 hp, all-wheel drive, a five-year warranty and 4.6-second 0-100 km/h performance.
