It's safe to say the Range Rover Evoque has been a huge sales success for Land Rover. It combines head-turning looks, a practical yet luxurious interior and that all important Land Rover off-road ability in a compact SUV package.
The Evoque has been given a mild facelift for 2016 with a few styling tweaks such as new lights and bumpers, as well as an updated infotainment system, but the big news is the addition of Jaguar Land Rover's new 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel engines. Watch the video to find out if it's any good!

This video was uploaded the day before my birthday I love Land Rovers
Just bought a new one with a black pack, cannot wait to get it!
Always brightens my day to see her reviews! 6 speed manual and a proper 2.0 Diesel, things you can't get in north america anymore, Sound was fine for me.
Today i recieved a call from my Land Rover Service shop, they informed me that i need a new engine. I own a 2014 Evoque with less than 65k miles.
The Review is amazing, Even though with sound quality it was really great ! Keep making more videos.. Cheers (y) :D

I like the Evoque especially the new-gen but I must say, I'm looking forward for the new convertible review...
I have one of these, wife loves it, me not so much. Turbo has bottom end lag and then goes like a scalded cat once boost comes on and the transmission constantly hunts for the proper gear like it was put in as an after thought. It does handle good, interior finish is good, infotainment could be improved. The heated steering wheel and windshield is the greatest feature of the vehicle in the winter. For the price they could have got it much better imo.
Very beautiful. And the car too. Nice review.
Ginny is an excellent car reviewer. It's so unfair that people keep putting her down and comparing her to Rebecca. Keep up the good work Ginny!

how much did there pay you guys to do this review ? its so clear that you were told to say positive things about it. you can't even hide it
It's funny how she says "You can move quickly between the different screens" while showing that there's a full second lag between pressing the touchscreen and something happens. Is the infotainment system always this sluggish?
What's the song that you played for the VW Golf MK7 and at the beginning of the Merc A class video?
Been looking at this with one or two others to replace a current car. Macan is the best driving car although not by much but the interiors are all buttons and bling. X3 is well built and like the Audi has great technology, is nice inside but feels a bit dated. In truth hard to choose between them. We're in Australia and will be going off-road on the forest tracks so perhaps the Evoque with its Terrain Response, will get the vote.
I can't hear you most of the time, but I love your jacket. May I ask where you get it? Do they have it for men?
I test drove this car after testing a Mercedes GLA. The GLA drove like a sporty hatch; the Evoque drove much more like a truck.
My 2015 Honda hrv did 220,000 miles in 4 years without a single breakdown, 2 clutches and a single battery replaced Had my Evoque 15 months and it’s been back into Range Rover 4 times and only 50,000 miles,

I own one and there are no bad points, it's a tank, it handles well, it's quick and has decent economy. For a luxury suv it ticks all the box's the downside is it's expensive when you add options but at base price it's actually better value than most German rivals
Okay carbuyer, you can not say anything good about British cars because it upset some of our foreign viewers. Lets forget the fact this is a very good car and Jaguar/Land Rover owners are among the happiest in the industry.

+Kev50027 I'm a Brit and I don't particularly like JLR cars. If other people choose to, that's fine by me. If some Brits are patriotic about their brand, that's fine too. French and Germans generally are and no one seems to begrudge them that. I don't identify with JLR, but don't mind those who do. What I do mind is the people who generalise about Brits and criticise them for doing what they'd find normal or unremarkable in other countries.

I agree, the audio levels were all over the place.
I like the evoque to drive but if you want this as a family car I wouldn't bother. It drives nice and if it's just you or a couple driving it then it is nice but the back just feels enclosed and small, it doesn't feel that wide inside and the boot feels small. I much prefer the freelander and I think it's a real shame they've stopped production. That being said I am excited to see the evoque convertible it looks a bit ugly with the hood up but with the hood down its beautiful and for years I have been wanting a convertible that has height to it.
@Nestle245
8 жыл бұрын
Same here I definitely would consider this if it was just a few inches longer and wider. It's really tiny compared to other small Jeeps but the backseat legroom isn't all that bad.
the GLE is a better off roader. they didn't mention about the 9 speed transmission problem and the car doesn't get a low ratio gearbox.
I just wondered how annoying the small rear screen is to Evoque Owners? Cheers....
the resale value just went down another 5 grand during this review
It’s a shame they were built using aluminium bolts in the electric steering rack motor which snap due to corrosion. They were replaced by steel bolts in 2018 production. About a £3000 for a new steering rack when the aluminium bolts snap. Recalled in Canada but not the UK
With Diesel on the way out how does the Petrol version do in comparison
between evoque and bmw x4 what would you recommend ?

Love the car. Excellent review, you should have taken over Top Gear from JC. Hope we see more reviews done by you in the future.
This is like a recent Mercedes review Ginny did. Maybe she's just enthusiastic about some cars, but it feels a bit like an ad.
Guys at Carbuyer, you need to figure out how to edit sound and volume. It is tiresome to try to catch what you're saying when using the outdoor mic and then to accept the full blast when you voice the video in the studio. Could you do that? Could you figure out how to adjust levels to be flat through the entire video?
nah it kind of starting to look dated
@kc5077

I agree I think it looks dated. I feel likes its only been a 3 years but it's been around since 2011, and with Range Rover only evolving their look faster than Porsche it'll probably look the same for years.

+Sebastian Lim IMO, I don't think so. The Evoque was like the BMW I8 of SUVs when it came out and still is compared pretty much all the cars coming out now. When you see one on the road youll know what I mean, it stands out instantly compared to bimmers, mercs or audis. You can't really tell on a video

So... Pleather covering most of the dashboard is considered a luxurious finish?I'm not a bmw or an audi guy myself, but comparing the evoque's build quality with that of an x1 or q3's, I'm sure most of us would consider the latter as the most reassuring products regarding build quality. IMHO, build quality lacks substance, the same feeling I get from (unfortunately) the jag xe, and xf. This video looked more like a paid advert...
Fuel consumption?
Audio for this video isn't that great
Could you be a bit more objective and less apparently loyal towards the UK car brands? You lose credibility as reviewers.

How so? Before Land Rover was Indian owned, it was owned by Ford. Ford then implemented their designs which we still see here. Not sure why but they are. If you have any doubt, do we think it is just mere coincidence that the Range Rover and the Explorer look almost identical? The Evoque and Escape?
Bad audio :(
Victory Beckham still looks goods - standing besides her RR on the Motorway waiting for the mechanic to fix it. I once owned a Discovery (4 years old). It was the first car where I had a MONTHLY visit to the garage. Everything just jell apart and about 6000€ every year just to keep the damn thing running.
