Jaguar F-Pace vs Lexus RZ
Verdict
The Jaguar F-Pace is the dearer car at RM448,800 against RM429,888, and it reads as the more traditional performance SUV on paper: 1,997 cc petrol, 400 Nm, 233 km/h and a 63-litre tank. The Lexus RZ answers with dual-motor electric drive, 308 hp, a quicker 5.3-second century sprint, 440 km of EV range and a slightly bigger 522-litre boot. For Malaysia, the choice is less about size and more about petrol range flexibility versus EV running and safety kit.
Pick the Jaguar F-Pace if you want a petrol SUV with 400 Nm, a 233 km/h top speed and the reassurance of a 63-litre fuel tank.
Pick the Lexus RZ if you want electric drive, quicker 0-100 km/h acceleration, 440 km of range and listed AEB.
