2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque | The Premium Alternative

[@mikebagwell8229]

This is right up there with the Nissan Murano Cross Cabriolet, which is widely accepted as the greatest vehicle of all time

Buy it today, service it tomorrow! Sell it for half price in a week!

The lack of a coupe and cabrio is a true tragedy to literally dozens of people. It was not good

[@Jaymac720]

In this segment, I’d get either the UX for reliability and fuel economy, or a BMW X1 for style and sportiness

[@tjs114]

Ranger Rover designer, "Hey chaps, let's make the roof of the new Evoque a solid piece of glass, but make it just a fixed panel." Designer's manager, "Yes, because everyone will want the sun beating down into their interior without the ability to vent the roof to make up for all of that exposed glass. It's perfect!" That pretty much describes the entire mentality behind the Chav mobile.

[@antonioakiki3716]

You can option a sliding roof. But I would prefer the glass pane as it gives a more airy feeling and I never open the glass roof in my car anyway and would prefer a larger pane. Luxury cars gives more options instead

[@hedydd2]

There is an electric blind for it of course.

[@Mike-ot5hc]

Great vid! I like that you added the ground clearance comparison. I hope you continue to do that for all your reviews.

[@herbieonline_]

My favorite in this segment is the XC40

[@Jazzzon777]

You should cover more of the off-road and towing capabilities. If its heavy because of those features compare it to something with those same features.

[@danielmeans4415]

Bought one it is a great car

[@snakerb]

Great review as always Alex. Thanks for warning us 😂

[@Construct87]

I will never understand why 0-60 should have any importance on a non-sportscar People get so caught up in stuff like this and not think about how they actually use/drive the car.

[@pyu7740]

Its very important even for non sports cars. It gives you a better picture of how the car will perform or function everytime you press gas. You can compare that number with other cars you've driven to understand which will have enough power for your use.

[@stupid8911]

@@pyu7740 I would say that what's more important in daily driving (in my humble opinion) is how the vehicle responds when needing acceleration when changing lanes on the highway. Just my two pence...

[@kelvinsoetardjo3293]

Thank you for the thorough review & explanation!

[@foxtrot685]

It's pretty and it's got some nice features, but theres absolutely no reason why this base MSRP is so high. This needs to start at $29,995 WITH destination, low price to make up for the added inconvenience of taking it to the shop constantly.

[@kattine1]

When talking about weight in 16:10 you could use subtitles to give the amount of mass in the metrical system [like other review channels do] even if you use [talk] about mass using the imperial/US system. Great review

[@Encore1917]

Now that we have the hyrbid version with 309 hp, that should be a sweet car

[@robbiem7689]

Style ....that's why we buy the Evoque over the BMW, Volvo, Audi, etc.

[@mhicks31]

that tow rating! nice.

[@ramcontracting]

Good car

[@dygardion9130]

The hybrid gets less highway mpg and only 1 more city. But I guess the extra bump on power is good

[@stangmatt66]

Are those MPG numbers correct? 20/27/23 for the standard engine and 21/26/23 for the hybrid? The hybrid gets worse mileage than the standard engine?

[@JamesRussoMillas]

[@michellemckinney8968]

Way to compact you got that right

[@afcgeo882]

People: We won’t buy this because it’s oddly styled, impractical, unreliable and overpriced. Land Rover: How about a convertible then? People: No! Land Rover: Okay, but the next generation all-new one will be exactly the same.

[@mikebagwell8229]

😆 Best comment. So accurate.

[@cadsux]

Wow, my old 2010 Mazda CX7 GT awd did 0-60 in 7.5 seconds, with a braking distance of 113 ft. That had a 2.3L 4 cylinder turbo with 258 hp, 6 speed auto, 4,000 lb curb weight.

[@elkiq95]

Amazing video. I still pick the Evoque because I love unique toys.

[@elkiq95]

@Highlife Jackson After watching horrifying youtube videos on reliability, I am no longer interested in owning one

[@walay-fitness8464]

It’s all relative, I know lots of people who own this car never had any issues, I just test drive and I’m getting one soon

[@aib0160]

I thick you'll find the fake engine vent on the "hood" is in fact real. It lines up with the rubber seal on top of the air filter box intake and is what allows for the hide wading depth.

[@walay-fitness8464]

Yep quite visual as well not sure how that was missed

[@Superfastjellyfish669]

I would take the X3

Hey Did you review the Land Rover discovery sport? Thanks

[@Superfastjellyfish669]

The power moving steering wheel is optional? what the hell lol

[@edweagle]

Genesis so needs suvs to compete in these areas

[@Trades46]

I find this to be a very style forward crossover small luxury SUV. Almost every time I see one, it is driven by a woman. Having driven the Evoque myself, it really feels like a higher riding hatchback with a very good AWD system than it does with any other Range Rover branded product. The Velar & Sport are far closer to the big Range, whereas this Evoque is probably closer in feel to a smaller, more premium Disco Sport which is shares platform and powertrains with. It definitely has its niche, but its high price tag, smallish footprint and questionable MPG are all questionable, and that's before you consider the chronic reliability issues the Evoque has. The P250 volume seller is also just slow - again as Alex pointed out it is too heavy & the JLR Ingenium 2.0T doesn't feel as energetic as the BMW B48, Mercedes M260 or Audi EA888 Gen 3. Not that it matters - rich ladies love the Evoque and keep buying them.

[@Mc-Taboo]

At the price point, I don't see why anyone would buy this over the upper class Velar or GLC , X3..etc.. OR over the same class X1, Q3, XC40..etc.. Land Rover made a huge mistake pricing the Evoque, they would definitely change it soon.

[@irfanspace]

they are stuck , the company bounce between different countries , made is China , own by Indian , name brand belongs to British

[@Mc-Taboo]

@@irfanspace Yes it's owned by TATA "Indian Company" since 2008 but It's made in Britain.. not China.

The Velar is bigger and more expensive.

In real world this thing uses pretty much as much fuel as V6 Velar which is crazy. Thank god they didn't make Volvo's mistake and they still offer diesels outside US.

[@Zhenocnra]

Hey Alex? What are your preferences on car door handles and car door locks? Maybe I'm old fashioned but I prefer doors that have locks you can unlock physically (and electronically) from the inside compared to electronic-only locks. Not only that, those hide-away door handles are definitely sleek and stylish but I would not want them on my vehicle in the winter (and for reliability reasons).

[@garymoore8711]

I enjoy your channel and you do a superlative job odfdetailing every car. I just wish you wouldn't waste my time with range rivers. Everyone knows they suck! Other than that you get a thumbs up.

[@afcgeo882]

gary moore People do buy them, so some think they’re good.

[@Jaymac720]

George L the kind of people buying them just want them for the status symbol. Sure they COULD have a BMW or Mercedes, but range rovers are just so much less common that people think they’re more special

[@marcmclt]

Very good and pro review. 👍 Only missing true off-road test

[@martyz3170]

Perfect review

[@akila219]

what's with the crappy mpg in the hybrid version

[@Jaymac720]

1. It’s a mild hybrid 2. It weighs nearly 4,000 lbs 3. Mechanical AWD system 4. The engine itself simply isn’t all the efficient It should be using a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder with the hybrid system. Luxury brands are just turbo crazy

[@stephenhendricks103]

Though the metaphor is seriously stretched, the Evoque seems to me to be the Italian supermodel of SUV's. Gorgeous, expensive, impractical, and high maintenance. I suppose that description better fits the Alfa Romeo Stelvio but the notion of a British supermodel seems somewhat out of place.

[@afcgeo882]

Stephen Hendricks Except the Stelvio is actually fun to drive and is fairly reliable.

[@normantor]

I'd take the Stelvio!

[@stephenhendricks103]

@@afcgeo882 I have no doubt that it's fun to drive. So is an Italian Supermodel. As for being "fairly reliable," I'm sure that depends on the particular supermodel involved. ;)

[@karlp8484]

$10,000 more expensive than an equivalent BMW which is larger? Are they joking? Range Rover is owned by Indians, if a hotel is becoming less popular over there, they raise their room prices to cover the losses. Same is happening here.

[@Fly2kill1]

Karl P towing capability matters to some. And this will tow a lot for what it is.

[@tonys9413]

I would not take this car for free; the reliability is atrocious. This reputation is well deserved for decades; the sad part is some people still buying it.

[@afcgeo882]

What’s remarkable is that RR managed to keep the Evoque’s reliability horrible, while the LR Disco Sport’s is actually not too bad, even though they’re almost identical cars. 🤷‍♂️

[@derekrobinson2366]

G wagon before you tell someone that they can’t afford something try spelling out your sentences correctly next time. Secondly, if he really wanted to, he could afford this suv if he worked hard. But, he values his money and doesn’t spend it unnecessarily on crap unreliable SUVS like this Range Rover :)

[@derekrobinson2366]

James Harris Range Rovers aren’t known for their reliability. That’s why many people lease them for 3 years. After that, the problems start to pack on.

[@Neukids]

Heavier, slower, smaller and more expensive. Surely, I will have one 🤨

[@davidwolf226]

While I've always agreed that the Range Rover models from Land Rover have nearly always been quite luxurious and very comfortable, at least for me, they are still very unreliable and have always had a host of maintenance problems going back decades. I've reviewed nearly every available source for automotive reliability and all of the known publications have the Land Rover/Range Rover products at the bottom of the list. I've known a number of folks who've purchased these vehicles in recent years only to find that their Range Rover spends as much if not more time up on a lift at their dealer garage than at home in their own private garage. For the same money, you can get much more reliable vehicles such as Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc.

[@johnholst]

Yes, it's nice. But it's WAYYYYY too much money.

[@rtcharge]

Best car in this segment trash talk from yanks

Why would automakers give you a model that's not fully loaded?

[@afcgeo882]

Steven L. Because it’s cheaper and doesn’t have stuff some people don’t want?

[@watchreport]

Because these things have so many packages and options it gets ridiculous and you can configure this up to $65,000, which is just ludicrous.

[@MugatuJag]

I don’t know, the average income for someone who buys a Evoque is $250,000 a year, my mom has one and she could afford a larger range rover but she doesn’t need something that big, and she doesn’t really carry people around with her. She likes the styling and it hasn’t really had any problems just a couple software resets. That being said it does have a long warranty and a free maintenance. The hybrid model goes 0 to 60 in about 6.2 seconds and she has a leadfoot and has been averaging 28 so not bad could you get a better car for the money yes, but if you’d like to dealer experience, and you get discounts because you are coming out of another land rover lease then why not, to each his own. I think the XC 40 is a brilliant car, Great Sterling, lots of awesome features, and relatively inexpensive compared to this car but they are not reliable. Unless you’re buying A Lexus, The Mercedes GLC the BMW X1, X2, X3, and the Stelvio are all average reliability, so you’re gonna want to get an extended warranty or just lease it.
