Road Test

Land Rover's eye-catching Range Rover Evoque has quick acceleration, decent fuel economy, and a nicely finished cabin. But those high points don't make up for its many weaknesses. The Evoque's ride is choppy, its cabin is cramped and noisy, and its rear view is poor. A potentially bigger concern is its emergency handling. When pushed to its handling limits at our track, the tail slid out and the vehicle repeatedly lifted a wheel during our avoidance maneuver.

Model History
2020-
Current Generation

The Evoque is more about style than function. This redesign is no different. Sure, it wears the prestigious Range Rover logo, but the SUV is frustrating on several levels. There is a pronounced initial delay when accelerating from a rolling stop, and then the power comes on too abruptly. The ride is overly stiff; fuel economy is among the worst in its class; and outward visibility is hampered. The dual-screen infotainment system echoes other Land Rover models. We find it convoluted and rather slow to respond to commands. On the plus side, handling is quite nimble; the front seats are comfortable; and fit and finish is impressive. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and lane keeping assistance are standard; other advanced safety features are optional.

2012-2019
2012 Redesign Year

The compact Evoque is based on the LR2 and offered in two- and four-door versions. Overall, the Evoque is more about style than functionality. Interior room and visibility are sacrificed for the striking silhouette. Its Ford-supplied 240-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is mated to a six-speed automatic, (nine-speed from 2014) and returned 21 mpg overall in our tests. Acceleration and fuel economy are commendable, but the ride is choppy and noise levels are elevated. Controls are a bit quirky, which is typical of Land Rover. Routine handling is quite agile, but can become disconcerting at the limits. The Evoque's Terrain Response system facilitates moderate off-road capability, which is uncommon in this class. A more powerful 286-hp engine arrived in 2018.
