Range Rover Evoque ED4 2WD (Team Review) - Fifth Gear 

Lol... Cabbage.

Scott Baldock I agree that LR should've given it it's own name rather then putting it in the RR lineup, but the AWD version does indeed have the off road capability known to the brand.

Too many blind spots and visibility poor. Unfortunately it isn't very practical either. Boot space is only capable of accommodating a couple of designer handbags and a toy dog. Parking is a nightmare, again due to poor visibility. Bizarrely, radical design was chosen over common sense when LR went ahead and built this. This isn't your regular mud plugger. More of a puddle jumper to be precise.

stephen driver I agree entirely. After all, the styling was lead by Victoria Beckham. LR was never known for function over form, especially with the Hipster intended Evoque. The Subaru Forester XT-Touring, at 2/3 the price, is a far better vehicle and value, but not on your list if you're the type to care more about turning heads at the valet parking line than owning a practical, reliable, functional CUV.

Alan Akeister Crap. LR loves to tout how they hired her for styling consultation. My point earlier affirmed stephen driver's statements of how the vehicle seemed to be designed towards the cues of those who never go off road and tote around toy dogs, and I'll bet that the vast majority of your claimed 112k were sold to that market, along with Hipsters and metrosexuals, which again LR admits to marketing this vehicle to specifically. Also, no one said it was so bad. In fact, I specifically said that the AWD version is quite good off road, although 99% of owners will never use it as such. What we did say was that it's a poor value, and that functionally, there are many better choices, even at much lower prices. Regardless, surely you don't expect anyone to actually take your opinion on any vehicle to be an unbiased expert one, given your specific profession.

k3rrons i thought rwd aswell! Fwd=Failure Wotdafuq Dumb

I agree. I first thought it was FWD when Vicky started on the track. I think I saw the front tyres spin, I dindnt want to believe I didn't repeat but then Tiff confirmed it is FWD. Fo r me no problem in it being a 2WD, the problem for me is being a FWD, In a Range Rover!

and Tiff too

no

At some point, 2wd set up is better than 4x4.

+Ahmad Ihsan at what point of an off-road situation would 2wd be beneficial over awe and by the way awd and 4x4 are different things

probablynovideoshere Subaru is boring anyway.

probablynovideoshere yeah they do. The japanese market has a 1.6 FWD Impreza

@@svein-haraldribland8559 yep no sti

TheTreyVidz it's cheaper than the 4wd one so more people can buy it. Plus as said in the video better fuel economy and for people who just want one and spending 99% of its life on the road.

For people like me you live in NYC and don’t need a 4WD car and are trying to budget on fuel economy and a cheaper car

It snows all the time here though. I feel 4x4 should be standard on all cars.

Oprah Winfrey No it should not, it uses more fuel and in most places it is not necessary.

None. If you want fuel economy and a nice on Road feel, why would you buy a Range Rover? It’s just stupid!

The one in Top Gear is the 4WD version. This one isn't.

@@farishanafiah8461 which one is it for Vicki

Nope, that is a guppy! :D

+chromatics kent People will buy them, so companies will make them. Simple as that. Besides, how many 4x4s need 4x4 from their owners?

chromatics kent better fuel economy wierdo

+1ronae1 its sad that morons like you can buy a car like that

+Fasta Rasta her point? she said what if WATER COMES INTO EXAUST???? how stupid you must be to say something like that????

+lalos It can happen you know...

another moron... no it cant...its from catalisator

+lalos I give up on you.

This isn't Top Gear review.

yogobogo thanks i fixed it:D

RWD on a muddy hill? Now that's something I would like to avoid.

Calde Ailis Anything but 4WD and you've no place on a muddy hill.

Johnny Wrong Of course. But if you compare FWD and RWD in this type of condition, RWD is harder to control. And without a drive shaft, FWD could be lighter, which is also good on a road like this.

Johnny Wrong FWD in a car that isn't meant to be a sports car is by far the best way to go. Snow, hell even rain, can upset a RWD drive car to the point where it becomes dangerous.

benanderson89 The danger's where the fun is, son.

British Gallons are larger. It's very economical but not highly unusual.

Divide British fuel economy ratings by 1.2 for US

+Carlos Because it has better fuel economy, and is better for the environment. For most people, who never take their expensive range rovers off road, 4wd is actually a constant disadvantage.

+Victorhuhu Exactly I can't understand why people would by one for them very reasons.

I share your point actually, where I live 2wd SUVs are very popular but even though they're cheape, lighter and comsume less fuel they are still heavier than a normal car they do less miles to the gallon, they are less stable and for the price of a 2wd suv you could buy another car better equipped more spacious more stable and less thirsty

+Victorhuhu But I do bring my Range Rover off roading.

Maybe the lower-end Range Rovers. The Sport and the standard Range Rover do have low range gearbox and lockers.

They made it through the off road track surprisingly easy with 2wd they said.

Some people never go offroad, so the 2WD Evoque make sense after all.
