Verdict
The Range Rover costs RM2,488,000, RM948,000 above the LX’s RM1,540,000, and its RM3,872 annual road tax is RM1,520 higher. That money buys 523 hp, 750 Nm and a 4.6-second 0-100 km/h time, against the Lexus’s 409 hp, 650 Nm and 6.5 seconds. Yet the LX makes the stronger Malaysian family case: seven seats, a 10 L/100 km rated economy figure and an unlimited-mileage five-year warranty. Choose the Range Rover for pace and its 818-litre boot; choose the LX for its third row, hybrid system and far lower outlay.
The Range Rover HSE (RM2,488,000) sits above every LX variant here, so the verdict compares the closest-priced pairing — use the selectors above to match any two trims.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover if 523 hp, a 4.6-second 0-100 km/h sprint and an 818-litre boot matter more than a RM948,000 saving.
Pick the Lexus LX if you need seven seats, 10 L/100 km rated economy and unlimited mileage within its five-year warranty.
