Land Rover Range Rover Evoque vs Porsche Macan Electric
Verdict
The Porsche Macan Electric costs RM68,800 less yet brings much stronger numbers: 355 hp, 5.7 seconds to 100 km/h, a 100.0 kWh battery and 641 km EV range. The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque answers with all-wheel drive, a 591-litre boot and a petrol set-up with a 67-litre tank, but its 200 hp output and 8.6-second sprint are well behind. For a Malaysian buyer, this is mainly pace and EV range against AWD traction and luggage space.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque if you want all-wheel drive, a larger 591-litre boot and a petrol SUV with a 67-litre fuel tank.
Pick the Porsche Macan Electric if you want the quicker, more powerful SUV with 355 hp, 5.7-second 0-100 km/h performance and 641 km EV range.
