Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the L405 is the rational used-range entry: its 4.4-litre diesel supplies 700 Nm from 1,750 rpm, returns a rated 8.7 L/100 km and carries 909 litres of luggage. The L460 is dramatically quicker, taking 4.6 seconds to 100 km/h against 6.5, with 523 hp and 750 Nm, plus Matrix LEDs and high-speed emergency braking. But the RM1,538,112 price gap is enormous; buy the newer car for its safety and cabin technology, not extra boot space.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover L405 if a 300,000-km warranty, diesel economy and the larger 909-litre boot matter more than outright pace and newer driver assistance.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover L460 if you want 523 hp, a 4.6-second 0-100 km/h time, eight airbags and modern cabin tech.
