Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

It might not be the newest of SUVs around but few models can grab as much attention as a Range Rover Evoque. Even at the tail-end of its life, the Evoque manages to look like a concept car for the road. The cabin doesn’t quite have the same appeal now but it scores high on luxury and everything feels built-to-last. There’s also more space at the back than the tapering roofline would suggest.
The Range Rover Evoque’s 180hp, 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine isn’t absolutely quiet and isn’t particularly exciting either. However, the engine does give ready access to power when you need it. Evoques with the 240hp, 2.0 petrol engine are more lively and borderline sporty even. What tends to be a spoiler on both versions is the gearbox that fumbles between its nine ratios. The Rangie feels confident at high speeds, and while there is some pitter-patter in town, the suspension does come across as absorbent. What’s more, the Evoque is also adept off-road.
