Verdict
At RM421,990, the Audi Q5 Sportback undercuts the Range Rover Evoque by RM76,810 while bringing 268 hp and 400 Nm, against 200 hp and 320 Nm. That is a meaningful advantage for a Malaysian buyer who wants stronger overtaking response without paying more. The Evoque fights back with a 591-litre boot, a 2,681-mm wheelbase and five years of warranty coverage, where the Audi has 515 litres, 2,528 mm and two years. Choose the Audi for performance and kit; choose the Evoque if rear-cabin proportions, luggage room and warranty term matter more.
Pick the Audi Q5 Sportback if you want 68 hp and 80 Nm more for RM76,810 less, plus ventilated memory front seats and a surround-view camera.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque if you prioritise its 591-litre boot, 153-mm longer wheelbase and five-year warranty.
