Land Rover Evoque AT (2015) vs Hyundai IONIQ 9 Calligraphy AWD Long Range (2026)

Land Rover Evoque AT (2015) vs Hyundai IONIQ 9 Calligraphy AWD Long Range (2026): which should you buy?

For Filipino buyers, the Hyundai IONIQ 9 Calligraphy AWD Long Range (2026) is the more compelling choice. At ₱4,580,000, it's ₱770,000 cheaper than the Land Rover Evoque AT (2015) at ₱5,350,000. The IONIQ 9 offers higher power (304 PS vs 240 PS) and significantly more torque (608 Nm vs 339 Nm), plus a larger body (5,060 mm length vs 4,365 mm) and 7-seat capacity (2+2+3) versus the Evoque's 5 seats. Its electric motor provides instant torque and lower running costs, though charging infrastructure in the Philippines remains a consideration. The IONIQ 9 also comes with a longer warranty (5 years/200,000 km vs 3 years/100,000 km). However, the Evoque is a gasoline vehicle with no range anxiety and a smaller footprint, better suited for those who prefer a compact luxury SUV and have limited access to charging. For families needing space, modern features, and lower total cost of ownership, the IONIQ 9 is the smarter buy. The Evoque appeals only to buyers who prioritize a traditional gasoline powertrain and a smaller, more maneuverable SUV, but its higher price and older model year make it less competitive.
