Product Overview

Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Mk2 (chassis code L551) is a subcompact crossover in production from 2019. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.0 liters.
Compared to the Mk1 Evoque, the new model has much improved exterior styling, though it remains awkward and ugly. Its unreliable drivetrain has been "updated" to meet more stringent emission nonsense, which could mean worse reliability in the long run.
The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Reviewer score 45% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
The second-generation Range Rover Evoque has quickly established itself as a class leader, recently toppling the previously unflappable Volvo XC40. Now we try the stylish compact SUV with a petrol engine for the first time on home soil. The P200 lacks any real performance punch, isn’t very economical and has a pretty poor range to boot. There’s a fairly obvious way around this: buy a diesel version instead.
Pros
  • Fantastic all-rounder
  • Comfortable ride
  • Decent fuel economy
Cons
  • Poor range
  • Poor range to boot

Reviewer score 72% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
The latest Range Rover Evoque is based on Land Rover's Premium Transverse Architecture (PTA), a heavily modified version of the outgoing car's D8 platform. The new car takes up much the same space on the road, but the wheelbase is now longer to help increase rear passenger space. New platform brings with it up-to-date 48-volt mild-hybrid electrification and has also paved the way for a plug-in hybrid model to join the range.
Pros
  • Up-to-date technology
  • More efficient petrol and plug-in hybrid engines
  • Decent fuel economy
Cons
  • Lack of standard equipment

Reviewer score 77% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from cnet have found:
The Evoque is a competent handler, with adaptive dampers, responsive and weighty steering and strong brakes. It doesn't quite have the reflexes of a Porsche crossover, but it certainly is capable of holding its own for backroad hustles. All the First Edition's bells and whistles are appealing, but come attached to a big price tag.
Pros
  • Comfortable ride
  • Powerful turbocharged engine
  • Responsive handling
Cons
  • Expensive for what you get
  • Touch Pro Duo infotainment

digitaltrends[4]

Reviewer score 58% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:
The interior of the 2020 Evoque is a nice place to be, with touch points that feel high quality. While it's not outright sporty, the well-weighted steering and responsive brake pedal give it sure-footed confidence on twisty stretches of tarmac. The crossover's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder power plant makes 246 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque.
Pros
  • Excellent off-road capability
  • Excellent infotainment system
  • Comfortable ride
Cons
  • Off-the-line throttle response
