Verdict
The Land Rover Range Rover Velar L560 costs RM499,811 against RM638,800 for the Land Rover Range Rover Velar L560 Facelift, leaving a RM138,989 gap. That money does not buy quicker acceleration: both reach 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds, use 7.6 L/100 km and measure 4,803 mm long. The facelift adds a panoramic sunroof, head-up display, front foglamps and 21-inch wheels, but its warranty mileage falls from 150,000 km to 65,000 km. For a Malaysian buyer, the outgoing L560 is the rational buy unless those cabin and appearance items matter greatly.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Velar L560 if you want the same 6.7-second AWD performance and 673-litre boot for RM138,989 less, plus 150,000 km of warranty coverage.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Velar L560 Facelift if the panoramic sunroof, head-up display, front foglamps and 21-inch wheels justify paying RM638,800.
