Land Rover Range Rover vs Toyota Fortuner
Verdict
This is less a straight SUV duel than a question of budget and use. The Land Rover Range Rover costs RM2,488,000 against the Toyota Fortuner’s RM195,880, and gives you 523 hp, 750 Nm, 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and an 818-litre boot. The Fortuner counters with seven seats, diesel power, an 80-litre tank and much lower RM754 annual road tax. Both get all-wheel drive and a five-year warranty, but they are aimed at very different Malaysian garages.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover if you want the faster, larger five-seat luxury SUV with 523 hp, 750 Nm and an 818-litre boot.
Pick the Toyota Fortuner if you need seven seats, diesel running and far lower yearly road tax at RM754.
