Verdict
The Ford Everest costs RM281,888 against the Lexus LX’s RM1,540,000, leaving a massive RM1,258,112 gap before running costs. For Malaysian family use, both seat seven and use 10-speed automatics with all-wheel drive, but the Everest brings a 2,900 mm wheelbase and a stated 259-litre boot. The LX answers with far more output: 415 hp and 650 Nm versus 207 hp and 500 Nm, plus a 6.5-second 0-100 km/h claim. Its RM2,352 annual road tax is also RM1,914 higher than the Ford’s.
Pick the Ford Everest if you want seven seats, a 259-litre stated boot and 500 Nm diesel torque without spending Lexus LX money.
Pick the Lexus LX if 415 hp, 650 Nm, a petrol-hybrid system and a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty matter more than the RM1.258 million price gap.
