Land Rover Range Rover Evoque vs Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC Coupe
Verdict
At almost the same money – RM498,800 versus RM498,888, just RM88 apart – this is less about budget than intent. The Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC Coupe is massively quicker: 416 hp, 500 Nm and 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds against the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque’s 200 hp, 320 Nm and 8.6 seconds. The Land Rover answers with a wider body, 591-litre boot and five-year warranty. For a Malaysian buyer, the Evoque is the calmer ownership pick; the Mercedes is the performance one. Road tax is practically identical.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque if you want the same five-seat compact executive SUV format with the bigger 591-litre boot, longer five-year warranty and lower RM498,800 price.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC Coupe if acceleration matters most: 416 hp, 500 Nm and 4.8 seconds to 100 km/h are in another league here.
