Verdict
Just RM88 separates these compact executive SUVs, but they take sharply different routes. The Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC Coupe delivers 416 hp, 500 Nm and a 4.8-second 0-100 km/h time, against the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque’s 200 hp, 320 Nm and 8.6 seconds. The Mercedes is 392 mm longer and has a 207 mm longer wheelbase. The Evoque answers with a 591-litre boot, 46 litres more, plus a 67-litre fuel tank. The Mercedes also gets a 360-degree camera, automatic parking and panoramic glass roof. Choose the Evoque for luggage capacity; choose the Mercedes for performance and cabin equipment.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque if a 591-litre boot, 67-litre tank and space-saver spare tyre matter more than outright pace.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC Coupe if you want 416 hp, a 4.8-second 0-100 km/h sprint, longer wheelbase and more driver-assistance convenience.
