Verdict
The Land Rover Range Rover costs RM2,488,000 against RM1,948,888 for the Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Class, a RM539,112 gap. The Range Rover earns part of that with a 5,052 mm body, 818-litre boot, powered rear-door shades and a contactless tailgate; these matter for chauffeur-led use and airport runs. The AMG counters with 577 hp, 850 Nm and a 4.4-second 0-100 km/h time, versus 523 hp, 750 Nm and 4.6 seconds. For Malaysian buyers prioritising cabin space and rear-seat convenience, take the Range Rover. The AMG is the harder-hitting choice.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover if rear-seat comfort features, an 818-litre boot and the longer 5,052 mm body matter more than outright acceleration.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Class if you want 577 hp, 850 Nm and a 4.4-second 0-100 km/h sprint for RM539,112 less.
