Verdict
These compact executive SUVs split sharply in use. The Porsche Macan Electric’s 355 hp, 563 Nm motor and 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time make it much quicker than the Evoque’s 200 hp, 320 Nm and 8.6 seconds. Its 100 kWh battery claims 641 km and accepts up to 270 kW DC, but it costs RM76,200 more and is 413 mm longer. The Evoque counters with all-wheel drive, a 591-litre boot and a 67-litre petrol tank, so it is the less expensive, shorter choice where charging access is uncertain.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque if you want all-wheel drive, a 591-litre boot and lower upfront cost without relying on charging.
Pick the Porsche Macan Electric if you have charging access and want 355 hp, 563 Nm, 641 km claimed range and far quicker acceleration.
