Expert Review
4.42/5
The Range Rover Evoque is the stylish, compact member of the Range Rover family, aimed at buyers who want luxury and design without driving a massive SUV. Its sharp styling gives it plenty of road presence, while the cabin feels premium and well finished. The compact dimensions also make it easier to handle in city traffic than the larger Range Rover models.
The turbo-petrol engine delivers smooth performance, while the automatic gearbox keeps the drive relaxed. The suspension offers a comfortable ride, although the large wheels and low-profile tyres can make sharp potholes noticeable. There is enough space for four adults, but the rear seat is not particularly generous for three people. Boot space is useful for a small family, though the sloping roof slightly limits practicality.
Who should buy it? Someone who wants a compact luxury SUV with distinctive styling, a premium cabin and genuine Range Rover character.
What will bug you? Expensive maintenance, limited rear-seat width, high tyre costs and the low-ish stance can become frustrating.
