◆ The verdict

Kandi America Kruiser 4Pro takes it.

It holds the stronger overall balance of range, value, power, and warranty. It's also the only factory-certified LSV of the two — the D5 Ranger 4 Plus is street-legal only by dealer package or self-attestation. These sit in different divisions (premium vs. value), so weigh the price gap accordingly.
