What would be comparable now head to head?

The engine technology has dramatically improved.  I learned that for instance, X trail 2.5 liter delivers 180 hp.  Ten years ago, that was the output of 4.6 liter HSE.  The classic Range Rover only delivers (a V8 at that) only 150 hp.  Value for money, X trail would be good HP per cc buy.  But does that compare to off road capability.  To whom can we compare X trail.  Well in terms of price and what can be compared, Defender 110 and X trail can be compared:

How does the Land Rover Disco fare vs the 3.2 L Ranger Wildtrax?

 


The Ranger Wildrax has 3.2 liter engine which packs 200 HP.   A Wild Trax would cost about P1.6 million and Disco about 2x that amount. We do not know much about the Disco but I guess it is very very expensive and packs plenty of latest engine electronix:  traction control ABS.

The Wildtrax struggle on the off road obstacle.  The Disco does not.  So what is the verdict?  Land Rove is still the best?





But that is comparing apples and oranges.  The price of a Disco is 4x than that of a Ranger.  Here is the Rader Comparison
