Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV costs RM99,912 less at RM398,888, yet brings 288 hp, 565 Nm and a 4.9-second 0-100 km/h time against the Range Rover Evoque’s 200 hp, 320 Nm and 8.6 seconds. Its 90.6-kWh battery claims 596 km, with 22-kW AC and 170-kW DC charging. For Malaysian buyers able to charge regularly, it is the stronger numbers-led choice. The Evoque counters with all-wheel drive, a 591-litre boot and a space-saver spare, but its RM498,800 price is hard to square with the performance gap.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque if all-wheel drive, the larger 591-litre boot and a space-saver spare matter more than EV range and outright acceleration.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV if you can charge an EV regularly and want 288 hp, 565 Nm, 596 km of claimed range and far stronger acceleration for less money.
