Verdict
The Range Rover Evoque costs RM498,800, while the Range Rover Velar is RM638,800: a RM140,000 jump. The Velar earns part of it with 247 hp and 365 Nm, cutting the 0-100 km/h time from the Evoque’s 8.6 seconds to 6.7 seconds, plus a 673-litre boot. But its 4,803 mm length and 2,145 mm width are a consideration in Malaysian car parks. The Evoque remains the sharper-value choice on paper, retaining all-wheel drive, a 67-litre tank and several driver-assistance functions the Velar lacks.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque if you want to save RM140,000, keep a more manageable 4,371 mm body and get autonomous braking, lane-keeping steering correction and blind-spot monitoring.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Velar if you want 247 hp, a 6.7-second 0-100 km/h time, a 673-litre boot and its larger, more lavishly specified cabin.
