Bought an Evoque 6 months ago and it has broken down on me twice! Stuck with 5k in repairs. That’s why I am here considering switching to a Porsche 🤔

[@seinsmeld13]

Excellent review as always! Cheers from Canada.

[@DreamCarGarage1]

The Evoque is a much funkier design but its lack of engines on the whole leave it woefully underpowered. And in another way they're a victim of their own success as these things are the absolute opposite of exclusive. In the UK they're EVERYWHERE!

[@googlereviewer1944]

Great review. That Mecan is stunning. Drives as well as the Evoque looks.

[@etonthompson5175]

Ok. So the Macan is not as off-road capable as the Evoque. However here in Jamaica the roads are basically one big off road trail. They are that bad. So the Evoque would have a leg up. Having said that though, love the Macan.

[@mujib5033]

Great job Matt.

[@mokeydluffy4366]

5:07 is the best part! loved the review by the way!

[@auxil47]

In the market for an SUV thats fast and functional, was considering the Range Rover but too much poor reviews. Saw your review on the Macan and that sold it for me, thanks mate, a proper car review.

[@umarluxat7174]

FANTASTIC insinuation , 0.07 - 0.10 then 2.20 - 2.59 . Well done guys .

[@Wolfie387]

Owned both and the Macan 3.0v6 petrol is the best against all of its competitors...by a long margin.

[@fal218]

PORSCHE all the way

[@Taradash4L]

GTS LOVER Can U afford a new Porsche ? HAHAHA NO

[@wilkgr]

AgletDC Oh? *You* can't.

[@Haladharr]

Surprisingly enjoyed the Range Rover Evoque "borrowing" scene lol.... Think I woke up my wife laughing though; it's 6 am in the morning see.

[@JohnInSale]

Nice non-biased review !!! It would be nice to hear the actual price of the test car, rather than the base price that no-one ever buys etc

[@harpreetkanwar]

dying to find the song in the end !

[@JoeGP]

re-upload or re-edit ?

[@day3002]

it looks great. I was thinking about buying nissan or Kia next summer. this looks great. oh if it was 10k£ cheaper then maybe.

[@kiwikozo]

Approved used one would probably be a good option if you aren't getting one until the summer of 2015.

[@Mmoukarii]

Does anyone know the song @ 2:33 - 2:59? Thanks :)

[@miradelgado5966]

I'd rather prefer the new SEAT Ateca. It's cheaper than these and it takes you everywhere too. ;-). Greetings from Spain!

[@jawadarif5676]

You should also mention what are extra. I remember even auto light was extra

[@HesteBremse]

Very subjective but somehow I like the Evoque better for it´s more striking exterior design, but the Macan is really really good and surely the better drivers car. It also looks better than the competition and it´s big brother. If one has the money and want this kind of car, Porsche have now made it and easy choice. ( Now give me a Evoque with the V8 diesel from the Range Rover Sport ;)

[@CarlosAlberto-ls4xk]

where is it?

[@DreamCarGarage1]

Really don't like the odd black plastic protector down the side, O and that front grille is still awful but apart from that it's a sweet looking thing. But if we're talking sporty SUV diesels you simply can't look past its close relative the Audi SQ5. Almost 350 bhp with crazy torque and performance figures to match. No less special inside either. It's a close call but as they're both around the same money it's got to be the Audi SQ5 for me. Whoch would you guys choose?

[@way2deep100]

I agree about the value; the Audi is actually considerably cheaper if you load them up. But if it's ground-covering performance rather than outright power you're after, the Macan will probably be the one. Personally, I think the Macan looks too ordinary. From the side it could be a raised version of a family hatch. The SQ5 suffers from being based on the ageing Q5 but I'd still choose it, I think.

[@TheMiamiTiger69]

lolz @ the fake enthusiasm 5:30

[@KPKaccountt]

Now I'll just have to wait for the smaller Panamera lol

[@CynicalBastard511]

The Evoque is an embarrassment compared to the Macan.

[@steventhoseby]

I can't see how they could fit the BiTDI engine from the Audi SQ5. Technically it could be done but it would make the Macan S redundant! I think for now if you want a REALLY quick small Diesel SUV then the BMW X3 35D M Sport or Audi SQ5 would offer greater straight line speed. As for the Evoque, a competitor the Macan, REALLY!

[@carbiify]

The Macan looks like an Austin Allegro.

[@ryanshen767]

In China, you can buy two Evoque with the same money on one Macan S :)

[@raveshdadalani]

+espjuan I feel the macan is a significantly better vehicle than a 911 the turbo is more powerful than a base 911 and it's more practical

[@raveshdadalani]

[@BenzinioB]

I think I'll prefer the Macan over the Cayenne ...

[@thedon008]

Me too...I've said that before to some friends and they didn't agree, but I think it's just the price point that makes it better in their eyes...I think the Macan is better looking, more practical, and generally a nicer car.

[@BenzinioB]

thedon008 I can't afford both so my preference isn't connected with the price :) It is better looking indeed and as you said "generally a nicer car"

[@cedric.g_292]

stop at 2:17 there you can see a photoshooting

[@ashurslivo8921]

i stopped care about what brits say about german cars

[@seinsmeld13]

It's I, Brits, and German.

[@ymyone]

As some people say , it’s not a fair comparison. One is for girls and shopping and the other is a drivers car.

[@adrborn8127]

Why is everybody comparing the Macan to the Evoque? Surely the most direct competitor for the Macan is the Audi Q5, especially the SQ5.

[@FIFAracer]

Damn, you're so biased on british cars...

[@TheStig.]

you mean biased

[@bighands69]

The Evoque is an amazing light weight SUV. It is top of its class.

[@Iliveinamonsterverse]

A mazing

[@jjmg2847]

10 years later and o still can’t afford the Macan 😂 I am 23 sooo haha

[@majdzahalka7989]

Why did u take the Diesel !!!!?????

[@Bmwx5fan9]

Only 43k o.o

[@JamesLee-yk6it]

EvoqUE vs ford explore

[@jalenwheeler]

You guys could take over the British top gear on bbc

[@dotcomGone]

5:00 I cannot believe that didn't roll

[@peterpiper5064]

Why? It's only about 30 degrees - A *bus* could handle that 😅

[@jalenwheeler]

Please just be a tv show already

[@berndschutz4386]

Wenn ich die Kommentare lese dann sehe ich das alle keine Ahnung haben. Erstens ist der Evoque kein Range Rover, noch nicht einmal ein Land Rover, es ist Mrs. Beckhams Fucking Style Car. Den Namen Range Rover für solch ein Auto herzugeben zeigt wie weit es mit der Marke gekommen ist, und alle die dieses Auto gut finden sind....! Ja Geschmack macht einfach einsam. Aber nochmal zum Technik zurück, für alle die noch nie einen Porsche gefahren sind und keine Ahnung haben, hier spielt Champions League gegen Kreisklasse. Kein Vergleich! Totale Thema-Verfehlung!

[@brunorocha9348]

Congratulations, this is one of the very few unbiased British car reviewers I've seen so far. Don't get me wrong, Britan makes brilliant cars but Brit car reviewers sometimes find a little bit too difficult to admit that a german car can be better than their untouchable Land/Range Rovers. Good review though.

[@AuthorDarrellCScottJr]

Houston floods... I’ll take a Range Rover.

[@_7.8.6]

Another Chelsea Tractor.

[@asfinland]

I consider the Evoque as a stylish way to come out of the closet.

[@Earthwatcher57]

Nothing that JLR makes is equal to the Macan, and the Macan is off road enough for me, fine on rough country tracks. Spot on review.

[@muhammet5722]

RANGE ROVER GAME ÖVER!!! 💥

[@tommak6167]

Macan all the way

[@abhijadon9412]

Anyone recommended in 2021

[@jeanmarie97]

N

[@pycJIaH77]

macan

[@oppanheimer]

I can't stand people who buy these four wheel drive cars and never do off road driving. What is the point of driving this car only on the road?

[@andyowens5494]

Ned 4wd is not only for off roading; its application is in performance and safety too. I had a 4wd X type (defo not designed for offroad, and you would never fit tyres for that on one); sure footed in the wet, snow, and got me across more muddy parking fields than I intended (because it could, so I didn’t need to shy away). As for the “oversized” body of these small SUVs, easy access for older relatives (yeah, real world considerations),, better driving visibility, and with decent suspension not significantly worse than a lower sports car (on most normal driving roads). Dont bias your view from a narrow perspective; accept them for what they are, and if thats not for you, then fair enough (plenty of others buy them, for all the right reasons).

[@brisk601]

The evoque is a baby range rover

[@safweneyahyaoui1397]

thumbs up if u see carrick of MUNCHESTER UNITED (y)

[@Paulose54]

Great suv Porsche but i'll get the Cayenne GTS

[@lautaroromero7244]

A+ WQRK! HE}, CUB SIDE WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ABOUT

[@harryc266]

Not really a review but yahoo

[@TheCarxpert]

Macan is butt ugly!!! RR Evoque is a proper 4x4, legendary off road capability and good looking...

[@KnightShadey]

Evoque is NOT a proper 4x4 it's AWD, or even FWD on some. And as mentioned in the review, neither of these will really be doing much off-roading by their intended market, they'll be mall-crawlers ferrying wives and kids to and from school & the market.

[@gianhet]

Lol "legendary off roading" stop kidding yourself, even if it is better than the Macan, it's still not that great in off road.. Plus these type of cars are not aiming to do off road, but just to look like it can do a little bit of it.. Buy a G class if you want to do off road, not an evoque or a macan..

[@mou3adh]

i just want to vomit..what a shameful car, mainly when it's done by Porsche

[@Ap0caLyPSe972]

Yeah but they said that those cars (with the money they give to Porsche) help them to develop their sportscars...

[@joaosoares3719]

Go watch something else then, you idiot...

[@brucec43]

Oh you Porsche snobs. It's a company, not a sports car club. Wah, that CUV is faster than my sports car. Wah, it handles great. Wah, it has more space and practicality. Wah, you can drive it in the snow.

[@SunnySingh-bi3zo]

***** it doesn't look like a hatchback and this thing is faster than a Porsche boxster i have no problem with Porsche building a small premium suv and this will increase the sales of porsche so even better i dont think anybody should have any problem with the Macan if you do then don't watch Macan videos

[@SunnySingh-bi3zo]

***** i dont get it do you like the macan or not

[@johansoderlund9670]

Macan is not a SUV. Not roomy, not practical, in no way is it an SUV. Just an excuse for mongs wanting a fast car and being able to say to their wifes thats its a practical suv.. lol

[@lisawood3924]

Sport Utility Vehicle,....Let's see,....Sport? Major CHECK! Utility....Okay, does it have a hatch back? Can you fold down the seats? Can you utilize the cargo space with seats folded down, unlike in a car? CHECK! Nothing to say to the "wife," here... because I AM the wife and this is the vehicle I want and will get. My reasons are that I love high performance and the sports car feel, but need to occasionally have the capacity to haul things that don't go well in a back seat or trunk. PROBLEM SOLVED. Yes, I'd call it an SUV. It just puts more emphasis on the drive than the utility part, which is EXACTLY what I want. There's nothing that says massive cargo space is what it takes to make it function for utility.

[@MegaJasperdog]

Evoque colour is yuck.

[@izakmend3826]

I bought my lincoln mkc for 27g's better looking than both of these and still fun to drive

[@ryanpham7192]

+izak mend better looking? you high or something bro?

[@Drewbie85]

+izak mend I'd get the Porsche macan s not the "turbo" and i disagree, i thought he Macan is better looking.

[@hxvideo]

No, sorry mate, you wasted money on a trash called Lincoln, try again next time~

[@MRjesseNL]

Porsche diesel, what a shame

[@alexchami9522]

Porsche

[@winsto2230]

In all actuality the Brits no longer own their own Badges..they are owned by India and their whole country has sold out. Good friends but terrible business partners! Drink more tea and discuss "The good old days" Germans actually did win.

[@SunnySingh-bi3zo]

actually Land Rover has improved vastly since TATA as taken over the sales are up and even the reliability has been getting better

[@SunnySingh-bi3zo]

***** he said there owned by India and there whole country has sold out and said there terrible business partners hes basically saying there not doing so good but hes just not saying it straight up and im commenting because i have nothing better to do how about you also commented so i think its safe to say your a loser and you have no life because that's way you assumed i am so i think you also have nothing better to do

[@SunnySingh-bi3zo]

***** so tell me what does it mean when he said there owned by india and there whole country has sold out

[@freewayninja4065]

I'd buy the Macan........................................... to use as a garbage can

[@turboman1505]

I doubt you can even afford one :p

[@supbrotv]

turboman1505 i doubt he can even afford a garbage can.

[@harryc266]

He's black so obviously..

[@syedomarnorth2561]

Twat

[@harryc266]

Doubt it

[@aliancemd]

That Evoque is so damn ugly, OMG...
