Verdict
At RM425,888, the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe costs RM72,912 less than the RM498,800 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, yet reaches 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds against 8.6 seconds. Its plug-in hybrid system adds a 31.2-kWh battery, 127-hp motor and 131-km EV range, a meaningful advantage for Malaysians able to charge regularly. The Evoque counters with a larger 591-litre boot, head-up display and five-year/150,000-km warranty. Pick it only if those practical and ownership details matter more than the GLC Coupe’s pace and electrified ability.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque if you need the 591-litre boot, head-up display and five-year/150,000-km warranty.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe if you want the lower price, 131-km EV range and a 6.3-second 0-100 km/h time.
