Verdict
The Range Rover costs RM2,488,000 to the LX’s RM1,540,000, a huge RM948,000 divide for a Malaysian buyer. Its 523 hp and 750 Nm deliver 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, 1.9 seconds ahead of the Lexus. But the LX brings seven seats, a petrol-hybrid system with a 49 hp electric motor, and RM2,352 annual road tax against RM3,872. Its rated 10 L/100 km is the only published consumption figure, so there is no like-for-like fuel-cost verdict. Choose the Range Rover for pace and its specified cabin tech; choose the LX for extra seating and a far lower entry cost.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover if 523 hp, 750 Nm, a 4.6-second 0-100 km/h time and an 818-litre boot matter more than the RM948,000 price gap.
Pick the Lexus LX if you need seven seats, petrol-hybrid assistance and a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty.
