Verdict
These petrol AWD SUVs take distinctly different routes. The Alfa Romeo Stelvio’s 276 hp and 400 Nm cut the 0-100 km/h time to 5.7 seconds, a full 2.9 seconds ahead of the Range Rover Evoque, and its 2,818 mm wheelbase is 137 mm longer. The Evoque answers with a 591-litre boot, 66 litres more than the Stelvio, plus a shorter 4,371 mm body for Malaysian parking spaces. But it is also 93 mm wider. Choose the Stelvio for urgent performance; choose the Evoque for cargo and cabin tech.
Pick the Alfa Romeo Stelvio if 276 hp, 400 Nm and a 5.7-second 0-100 km/h sprint matter more than boot capacity and a head-up display.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque if you want the 591-litre boot, head-up display and 21-inch wheels, and can accept slower acceleration.
