Verdict
At RM2,488,000 against RM1,948,888, the Range Rover carries a RM539,112 premium. It answers with a 5,052-mm body, 818-litre boot and contactless boot opening, where the AMG G-Class is 4,613 mm long, takes 667 litres and has a manual tailgate. The Mercedes counters hard: 577 hp and 850 Nm cut the 0-100 km/h time to 4.4 seconds, versus 523 hp, 750 Nm and 4.6 seconds. Pick the Range Rover for luggage space and richer rear-passenger convenience; choose the AMG G-Class when performance and lower annual road tax matter more.
Pick the Land Rover Range Rover if you need the 818-litre boot, a longer 2,997-mm wheelbase and ventilated memory front seats.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG G-Class if its 577 hp, 850 Nm and 4.4-second 0-100 km/h time matter more than cargo capacity.
