Verdict
At RM498,800, the Range Rover Evoque costs RM3,729 more than the E-Class Coupe, but gives a Malaysian family five seats, five doors and a 591-litre boot. Its all-wheel drive is another clear practical distinction. The Mercedes answers with far stronger numbers: 254 hp and 370 Nm cut the 0-100 km/h time to 6.4 seconds, against 200 hp, 320 Nm and 8.6 seconds. The E-Class Coupe also has lower RM376 annual road tax, but its four-seat layout and 425-litre boot narrow its usefulness.
