Land Rover Range Rover: L405 vs L460

Land Rover Range Rover L405

Land Rover Range Rover L405

Verdict

The Land Rover Range Rover L405 is the more rational used-entry point at RM949,888, with a 334 hp/700 Nm diesel, a claimed 8.7 L/100 km and a larger 909-litre boot. The Land Rover Range Rover L460 costs RM2,488,000, but its 523 hp petrol V8 cuts the 0-100 km/h time from 6.5 to 4.6 seconds, while adding matrix LEDs, 360-degree camera coverage and active safety assists. For Malaysian buyers able to absorb the RM1,538,112 gap, the L460 is much quicker and more modern; the L405 retains the stronger practicality case.

L405

Pick the Land Rover Range Rover L405 if a 909-litre boot, claimed 8.7 L/100 km diesel economy and RM1,538,112 less outlay matter more than outright pace and newer driver assistance.

L460

Pick the Land Rover Range Rover L460 if you want 523 hp, a 4.6-second 0-100 km/h time, matrix LED headlamps and high-speed emergency braking.
