Just done a 2-hour motorway run at steady 70. Returned 43.4mpg. 🙂

[@emonitennell9952]

I’m thinking about getting one.. has your car had any problems?

[@jimgoodwin6294]

I've had 3 Evoque's, the first was a 2012 Pure with a 7 speed auto box and 2.2 turbo diesel engine (184hp). That averaged in three years 32.5mpg. We part exchanged it 3 years later for a new, Dynamic 2.2 turbo diesel (184hp) (so same engine as the first but this time a 9 speed auto box). That averaged in 6 years 35.4 mpg. I've recently changed it for a 2021 model which now uses a 2.00 Ingenium turbo diesel engine (200hp) with a bolt on electric motor (mild hybrid they call it - I call it pandering to Brussells to tick a box but there we are). That too has the 9 speed auto box. So far, we're getting an average of 39.5mpg. Our driving is mainly to & from the village (2 miles each way daily), twice a week to the local town (18 mile round trip and once to twice a month longer motorway drives (anything from 20 miles to 400 driving up to Durham). That puts the average above 40mpg for the 2021 car - it improved the others by about a mile or so. Problems. Apart from tyre's and servicing - nothing at all with the first. The second had an intermittent problem at around 5 years ownership with the radio controls on the steering wheel - a software update helped but didn't cure it. It also had the same lock issue on the drivers door that yours did - cost about the same to fix. When we part exchanged it this year, the passenger door lock had also failed and there was a loose bit of trim that a 10p clip would cure - yes I did confess it! The new one has had a JLR recall to replace a hose and unsurprisingly nothing else. Which did I prefer..? The pure was lovely, the Dynamic was slightly more harsh / firmer / noisy on the road but they did have different brands of tyres (Pirelli - Michelin) and the suspension on the Dynamic was that fancy active stuff. Both of the early models were great cars to live with but I cannot get over how far they've moved the new models on in terms of comfort and refinement - they're lovely to drive. I'd have another in a heartbeat.

[@HighPeakAutos]

The reversing camera is typical! We're on our 4th in 4 years! 3 under warranty and one we paid for! We seem to average aroun 7.4 L per 100 Km on Russian diesel, which isn't the best because big when we get European diesel in it, we get 6.4 L/100Km As you always point out?

[@nickdoughty518]

We had a Freelander 2 auto with the SD4 engine. We could get mid 40s mpg on a run and 30 ish around town. It's the same underneath as your Evoque I think. So you ought to be getting better mpg. Hardly anything went wrong in 7 years - DPF sensor and rear shock absorber. We used it for towing also.

[@HighPeakAutos]

It could be the fuel program needs an update, it fixed my 16 mpg on the 2.0T motor to well over 22 - 25 mpg. We went from fueling up daily to every three to 4 days with how much we drive.

[@justawanderer9345]

Great video, I love seeing the real world experiences you don't see on other car channels. I think it's interesting seeing this so soon after your Jaguar F-Pace video, particularly hearing your comments about fuel efficiency as they both use a 2.2 litre diesel. In my mind, if I'm going for a good size SUV for mixed town / motorway, then the F-Pace looks better, reportedly handles great, has about the same reputation on the reliability scale, and is more efficient. Does this offer anything the F-Pace or E-Pace doesn't?

[@allanmoger1838]

I like my 2017 a lot, but to be fair, the rear diff controller has had to be replaced, the tailgate modified by a recall and the software updated to make it slightly better than crashware - it's still not great. Petrol MPG is actually not too bad for the weight at about 25 MPG. I painted the window trim again as the window trim fades horribly in the sun, but for $300 it looks great now (California problems). Other than that it's been fine. After a quick calculation I think it costs me about $1 per mile in the US, which isn't bad for the class of car at all. Service prices at the dealer are stupid so don't do that, the service parts aren't that bad though. All in all I like it a lot. Someone did try to push it down the road by the front bumper (someone else parked like a douche and the Evoque looked like the softer option apparently) and they failed. It wouldn't budge, but the bumper cover and paint cost the insurance company $3300. :|

Fuel consumption seems to be the main gripe about the Evoke. A friend told me that using a more expensive synthetic oil, like Castrol Edge has helped.

[@Nonamenever557]

Probably more to do with the weight of the oil, a heavier (or thicker) oil will reduce mpg.

[@flyme195]

Fuel economy has never been Land Rovers strong point but similarly, if you want to drive about in a heavy 4x4, your gonna pay for it. My Freelander 2, with the same 2.2 SD4 engine but with a 6 speed box, I’m averaging around the 29 mark but then it is now shod with mud terrain tyres. On the reliability front, it’s excellent. It’s a 2012 model and in the 18 months I’ve had it, it’s NEVER broken down. My brother in laws 15 plate L200 however, now it’s had a new dpf, new egr, new water pump and thermostat, seems to be working quite well now

[@matthewhaddon599]

MPG should be better…may be worth checking EGR valve / intake clean etc. MAF sensors are also a common cause of poor MPG. My old Freelander averaged high 20’s and 45 plus on a run. Also may be worth fitting a pre-heater if you intend to keep it for another couple of years….not sure that’s worthwhile with regards to cost.

[@theman8149]

Sorry but there poor on diesel.

If it's the 2.2 engine, I am guessing it's the old transit engine, if it is I was getting about 34mpg in my 13 plate XF, which I thought was a bit rubbish, my XE on a 17 plate is doing around 50mpg according to the computer, although I don't think it's as well made as the XF.

[@ml9052]

I'm truly shocked to hear about the MPG...how can it be so bad?? Do you find that you get better mpg with VPower diesel and does it offset the extra cost per litre? i've switched from normal unleaded to super (just supermarket or wholesaler super, i'm too tight for VPower) and it seems to be offsetting. Although I'm somewhat curious as to how the new regular E10 will run.

I’m not being funny but 2 grand in 4k miles and they’re not as bad as everyone makes out?? 😂 I could stomach the fuel costs if it sounded nice, had some poke, and put a smile on my face but not for a 2.2 tdi. You haven’t convinced me yet of JLR’s merits..😂👍🏻

[@rafflesnh]

@@HighPeakAutos I've gone from a straight 6, 3 litre, non-turbo BMW to a 2 litre 4 pot turbo Ingenium DS, and really miss the effortless power of the former. MPG is almost identical too, with the DS being slightly worse at between 28 and 30 mpg of mixed driving. Car has only completed 1200 miles since new, so may improve a little when mileage increases. But clearly the DS is a much heavier car with the 4wd anchors!

My Father had a 2015 Range Rover Evoque which he sold in 2017 and it had the broken door lock and the gear box went into limp mode once due to a software glitch. All fixed under warranty. He did achieve 39MPG out of the 2.2L SD4 190PS.

Nice motor and review. I bought my 146,000 mile 2011 golf estate in July 2019, one bulb (£1.50) on this years MOT, no other costs in two years except fuel and £20 a year road tax.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Have you not serviced it?

[@jamiecampbell5905]

Looks brand new well done

[@JB_inks]

£1 a mile is just ridiculously expensive and that doesn't even factor in depreciation costs which I imagine are huge. And insurance. Thanks for the video, it's confirmed to me I'm right to stick to my little Citroen!

only someone with range-rover-itus could think paying 600 to repair a reverse camera isn’t too bad :-D i say it as the owner of an l322 that i love like a third child… 😛 i’m trying to talk the wife into getting one of these tbh, or maybe the discovery sport which i like more so, but i think i have more chance of convincing her on the evoque.

[@chargeriderepeat7024]

Yeah a friend bought a 7yr old range rover, hes a mechanic and thought he could dix anything. 1350 quid to repair the handbrake, 800 quid to replace a sensor that required engine out, then the crank split in two towing a caravan ..6500 to replace the engine. He sold it and said ..never..ever again.

[@Bootneck-RMC]

The cost for the next 12 month's will be less than the first 12 month's, as some of the items that you paid for should last a few years before being replaced again (hopefully). 👍😀

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thats what I was counting on to be honest. Should be half that I reckon :)

[@pingshiyu]

More will go wrong though

[@lewis72]

"some of the items that you paid for should last a few years before being replaced again" - I've used that logic on many occasions, only for everything else to still have to be replaced.

[@Z-u-m-a]

[@DiscoFang]

Botneck That's some weird logic. Is that how Land Rover owners cope month to month? "These things broke this year therefore nothing else will until these same things break again."

The fuel economy is a joke and painful to hear. I've got big 330GT that averages 32mpg around town and 52 mpg on the motorway so JLR don't seem to but very refined or efficient engines in the Evoke.

[@khalidacosta7133]

That 2.2 diesel is a Peugeot HDi engine.... the engine itself is economical. Whatever JLR did to it though... that's another question entirely or maybe it's down to being a car with the aero of a flying breeze block?

Surely that fuel consumption figure can't be normal, unless your Mum's a getaway driver😂. Be interesting to know what consumption other owners with the same engine are getting.

[@TheJbsportstech]

I drive a sd4 freelander 2013 same chassis and engine basically, that did 35mpg on a run at 20, 25mpg if you speed dropped below 50mph

[@retepyam5858]

Very much depends on how they are used. I had a Hyundai Tucson, new model, 2.0 diesel with 180 bhp or so, all the toys and the 4 mile run to work struggled to hit 30 mpg driving like miss daisy. BMW 335d gt and now Jag XF 3.0S both get better MPG.

[@paula200]

@@retepyam5858 You're never going to get good mpg from a diesel on just a 4 mile run. I've had several diesels and funnily enough, the most powerful (Merc SLK 250, 204 bhp) gave me the best average figure of 52 mpg. Even my old Alfa GT diesel gave 38mpg and I drove that quite hard. 20mpg from a diesel is totally unacceptable - my 1974 Capri did more than that!🤣

Then there's a 15 year old RAV4 petrol which cost nothing over the last 12 months.

[@itsallrobbish]

We have a RAV4, the model of reliability, but you’ve gotta admit the dash and plastics are really awful! In my experience the CRV is so much better to drive on a day to day basis. No denying the awesome reliability, the lack of corrosion and still super shiny paperwork. Ours is a 2007 XTR, it’d be interesting to try the next version to see if the interior is a lot better, if not I’d be tempted to go back to the CRV. Try one, you might like it.

[@nostalgiachannel318]

@@itsallrobbish I have had them in all mk's upto.the mk4 hybrid and I have to say yeah the interior it's never gonna be at the standard of German or Land rover SUV but it's definitely better than the previous versions of RAV4 . I would buy the Mk5 which is an even better interior but I'm going down the CHR route. I have had the old HRV and CRV 2007 and a 2014 model and yeah marginally a better place to be than the RAV4 I'd agree.
