Verdict
At RM498,800, the Range Rover Evoque costs RM99,912 more than the RM398,888 EQE SUV, yet the Mercedes is the quicker machine: its 288 hp, 565 Nm motor reaches 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds versus 8.6 seconds for the Evoque’s 200 hp, 320 Nm 2.0-litre petrol turbo. The EQE also brings a 90.6 kWh battery, 596 km range and 170 kW DC charging. But the Evoque has all-wheel drive, a larger 591-litre boot and a five-year/150,000 km warranty. For Malaysian buyers able to charge regularly, the EQE is the stronger buy.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque if all-wheel drive, a 591-litre boot and a five-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty matter more than EV range and outright acceleration.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV if you can charge an EV and want 596 km of range, 4.9-second 0-100 km/h pace and richer front-seat comfort for RM99,912 less.
