2019 Range Rover Evoque vs Volvo XC40 vs Audi Q3 review | Best small SUVs | Autocar

[@mubblemann]

I never understand why car reviewers only mention the bhp of diesel engines, when it's the torque that matters, particularly in an SUV.

[@cuprashoe]

That's always got me. I mean a lot of these get used for towing caravans and the like and torque is what you need for that.

[@garethcarruthers]

I recently bought an xc40 inscription , and am very pleased and satisfied with it, though pretty expensive. The problem is that, as with all cars, it very quickly becomes simply ‘the car’, and as a result one becomes blind to its advantages. I do not regret buying it.

That's a damning review of the Audi, but I think a fair one. I'd have the Volvo though. As always, an excellent review by Matt Prior. Great work!

[@thabisomaleka3933]

Does the new Land Rover Discovery Sport share the same platform with the Evoque??? The XC40 T5 R-Design is a great little SUV / Crossover

[@99unclebob]

the Volvo XC40 hands down, overall ,the RR will have the usual warranty issues that they always have, just because you wrap it differently doesn't make it better, The Q3 if something goes wrong it cost more to fix than the other 2

[@Peter-MH]

Range Rover looks much more upmarket than the others, I'm surprised it's equivalent on price. The Q3 looks very clinical, but that is typical Audi and not necessarily a bad thing. XC40 looks like a much cheaper car, but at least they've made the styling quite unique.

[@imtheonehero9305]

Rover is ugly and unreliable

[@advancelast1740]

Evoque wins...until it breaks down, and it will breakdown

[@carnurd]

Can we get a comparison of how much each one of these vehicles costed?

[@Jazzpiano96]

Been adventurous with my XC40, definitely a fun compact SUV. Has the same presence as a Range Rover (especially the R-design with white paint) not to mention the reliability

[@jaromor8808]

> _Has the same presence as a Range Rover..._ lol keep dreaming

[@Jazzpiano96]

Jaroslav Záruba yeah no, the rover definitely has a great presence. But it doesn’t matter if your stuck bringing it in the dealer more often then not. It is, especially without a warranty, a money pit

[@cmsweitzer1]

so the range rover starts around 7,000$ more than the other 2, I would hope it was more luxurious

[@bitcoinsharp-win]

Like all reviewers you did not mention the activity key, which is a great point in favor of the Evoque. Also you give power figures as if there is only 1 Engine varient available there are 6, up to 250 kw for diesel and 300 kw for petrol Also missing are the BMW X1/X2 and the Mercedes GLA. Even with those I think the Evoque is clearly the best.

[@JBOsurf]

Whelming videos like this do not hide the fact JLR is haemorrhaging money and has a terrible reputation for reliability in some models. If it has to be premium SUV, get a Macan. Destroys these three, and pretty much everything else on stilts.

[@TheGreatLoco]

The Range Rover brand isn't for people too tight with money, so leasing rates and maintenance isn't cheap. It sits at the same level as Porsche imo, and higher than other mainstream premium brands. But Range Rover is about luxury, while Porsche is about sportiness. Also the Evoque is at least 30 cm shorter if not more. More comparable to a Macan is the Velar, which looks much better than the Evoque. If you buy or lease new, you aren't going to have much problems with JLR. But true is Porsche tops in quality. I agree the Macan accelerates and handles better than it's competitors, however if you go for comfort, luxury and elegance, the Velar is much better. The Macan also has small boot. If you drive sporty, that may cost you in fines in most developed countries, you will lose your license quickly and have high insurance rates. Range Rover's approach makes more sense. Maybe something like a AMG GLC Coupe, SQ5 or a X4M is a direct competition for the Macan.

[@eddieconroy212]

If you wanted an SUV then I think then Rangy is the best. If you want to bring the kids with you, the Volvo is by far the better choice.

[@DeeDeeDanone]

Rangy? 😟

[@malph9216]

Evoque....just another JLR product reflecting it's form over function philosophy, small boot, poor ergonomics, still questionable build quality and reliability. XC40 is a really 'nice' car, and probably much cheaper than a like for like Evoque. The Q3? No mention at all of the sliding rear seats in the review, probably the most versatile interior space. Very average review that was leaning towards the 'pretty' Evoque from the start.

[@tsohg858]

yeah..Looks like the video is all about Evoque.The time he spent in driving the Evoque in the video is more than xc40 and Q3

[@katenhe]

I’d go Audi any day, the review is a bit bias in that an entry spec of the Q3 is compared to an upper end spec of the newer Range, buck for buck I’d go Audi any day, then the Range and the Volvo last.

[@SaMu-wh8em]

Mentalwave Za this is the base version of evoque, mid and top level have more leather in the interiors.

[@nd0nd042]

Sa Mu still not comparing like for like. Watch Car Wow and you’ll see how same class vehicles can be compared, from price (which is a big difference here), features, year of last release/update etc.. this review is bias in my opinion. I’d still choose Audi, it and the Volvo have better reliability after sales than the range.

no mention of JLR rep for build quality

[@mohastie]

I`ve just bought my 3rd Evoque. Never had an issue . If they are so bad, why have they the best residual values after 3 years. Evoque`s are not your over complicated high end range rovers.

[@scon1425]

In 2019, how are car reviewers still leaving out the massive elephant in the room when reviewing Land Rovers? This car will self destruct-not one time, but MANY TIMES, throughout its life... the other 2 will not. This fact outweighs any other, and renders all land rovers inert.

[@indianentertainmentgamer9568]

Range Rover evoque is most dynamic look and the power of car amazing for both cars

[@djw48]

Price differences?

[@josingh20]

Massive. In the order of the test. Evoque most expensive, and about £5k more than other 2, about £2k in between Volvo and Audi. Comparing Evoque in SE spec, Volvo in R-Design Pro and and Audi in S-Line. Residuals also mean Evoque nearly £400 per month more expensive than other 2

[@DABroke]

[@MrPagnu]

Volvo and Audi can’t even get close to the Evoque’s 4x4 capabilities. LR’s Transmission and suspensions feature a far superior and expensive design, on top of that the car is watertight up to 50/60 cm, maybe more. The Evoque’s disconnect system only is worth 1,500 euros. Why he’s missing to say that? On the engineering standpoint the Evoque’s is another league. And I might be wrong but I am not so sure Q3 and Volvo are made in Europe. LR is still made in UK.
