Verdict
At RM735,800, the BMW X6 costs RM962,200 less than the RM1,698,000 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, yet reaches 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds against 5.7 seconds. The Range Rover Sport counters with 396 hp and 550 Nm, plus a far more useful 835-litre boot versus 580 litres. For Malaysian buyers, the BMW’s 2,240 kg kerb weight, 250 km/h top speed and seven airbags make the price gap hard to ignore. Pay for the Land Rover if its air suspension, adaptive cruise control and much longer five-year warranty matter more than outright value.

Range Rover Sport
