The Honest Car Review | 2020 Range Rover Evoque - admit it...you'd still want one even if it sucked 

I’ve had 2 x 2.2 Evoques, the current one has the 9 speed automatic as the latest ones... First was a Pure, second a dynamic. Both have been great and I’d have another in a heartbeat.

Thanks for a decent review Mark. I hope people will support the workers at JLR and continue to buy this car.

Great Donna clip 😂

Sausage roll stability control :)

I'll stick with me Jazz, thanks, and the one I still haven't bought to bring me up to Evoque spend levels.

Jesus after this review I would be afraid to part with me money for such a car.

I'm a scientologist, so until it comes with Tom Cruise control, it's not the car for me. Top review i love this channel

We skipped it due to the bad rear view when backing. A rear view camera will not resolve it either as o e need a good side view too but that is blocked by the massive d-pillars. The angle of the a-pillars is also to low (and to thick!), it should be much more upright, like at the Volvo XC40.

Soccer mom's everywhere rejoice. The new minivan. In fairness to JLR, this is more exciting than the tired and completely average Lexus NX/RX/UX so it's hard to hate. I mean Lexus doesn't even try anymore. At least this Land Rover appears to have effort put into it. I'd take exciting unreliability over boring lifeless reliable car. Life is too short to be dull, get an Alfa😉

I will give extra likes for poshy geordie sayings - " Wayah man I loves caviar and Eton school".

Sitting in a smelly garage waiting room while some chancer remaps my golf. Mark saves the day.

‘ The fog on the Tyne is all one’s all one’s,the fog on the Tyne is all one’s ‘. Donna Air.

You shouldn't compare it with Volvo XC60 but with XC40 in my opinion.

I love mine, the screens went within 3 days (love that) so they upgraded it to ones out of the velar. Made a difference, putting it in sport mode really makes a difference too, it can be slow off the mark at lights but in sport mode it flys off. Deffo looks better with upgraded wheels 😂 the cup holders are awkward & not much storage in the front. It is unreal off-road though, it just goes and goes effortlessly

HJ. I left and I’m back yip there’s nothing out there better. Feels like home fella. Bop on review 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

"touching the cloth down here" pmsl

First British honest review of the Evoque. It can hardly justify its base price but it looks good.

Love your channel. I'm actually digging all the SUV reviews atm, as while I like to think myself a bit of a car enthusiast I know damn well my next car will be something on stilts. Getting old, man....

178g/km O2 seems like a lot from a 2L diesel which has a relatively puny 180bhp

Just wondering how does that Chris Rea parking gubbins works? Does it summon up a hologram of him singing Road to Hell as you park - that would be really neat.

You’re touching cloth down there?

I hope this channel will still be available to europeans after brexit.

Many of the big SUV's are unreliable, they are complicated cars both in engineering and electronics. A quick look on the reliability index shows Audi worse than Landrover for large SUV's its their smaller simpler cars that help them achieve a higher reliability rating overall which Landrover don't offer. www.reliabilityindex.com/reliability/search/20 www.reliabilityindex.com/reliability/search/135 Even the Toyota Landcruiser isn't that reliable with below average reliability and high repair costs. www.reliabilityindex.com/reliability/search/277 It's a mute point anyway as people buying this new get the warranty, reliability issues are for those down the line who buy secondhand, I've a feeling the sort of people who buy these new probably will buy something new before the 3 years is up. As gorgeous as the Evoque is I wouldn't buy one or any of the competitor's models, I don't need a SUV and prefer a estate car for practicality and driving dynamics. Interesting review though but the only really reliable and cheap to run 4x4 is probably the Suzuki Jimny.

Further to my last comment - I've now bought a third. Fantastic to drive, great to look at, great to live with. On that subject, who in their right mind could live with Volvo's hidious interior.....ewwww

It's summer 2022 and I just ordered a plug-in-hybrid here in Spain. Never was aware of the Evoque hype in previous years and drove German cars most of the time Will see if it is reliable and worth the high price tag. What I am sure about is that the design still stands out and the interior materials and equipment seem poshy. Thanks for the review.

It always has been, and always will be the aspirational car of.... Do you know what I’ve actually paused where I would call out a social grouping with nary a blink. Bloody hell I must be getting Woke (holds head in hands) I’ll go now before I remark on the reviewer in a negative way. Walks off stage muttering “what’s gone wrong with the world” and “didn’t the honest John name stand for something in the paper years ago”.

So in summary. Old Evoque=OK. New Evoque=Better than ok, I guess? As for JLR electrics, what do you call a reliable Land Rover? A base model..

They look great inside and out. The only thing that puts me off is the crap economy figures; shame really.

Great review, thanks Mark. Good to see they've finally sorted out the Ingenium diesel. I wonder if it's also improved in its other applications? Hope the reliability is similarly improved. Time will tell...

Surely you'd have to compare it to the bmw X1 or X2 and not the X3 which is a lot bigger and pricier?

"Whatever you can a-Ford.". Ah, I see what you accidentally did there.

An Evoque is for those that are desperate to buy the instagram brand of Range Rover but aren’t able to afford a proper one.

I Love my 2020 Evoque! ,from Florida 😁

Rule of thumb never buy anything from Land Rover or Jaguar unless its classic vintage.

You’ve just linked Range Rover, brand Beckham and BMTH in a car review. Genius at work Mark!

Basically everything you said applies to the Tesla model s

A search function for reviews would be very useful

Love your channel. Just one question. What or where is this "Geordie ", U speak of?? I will assume it is town/place in the UK. Great review as usual. Thanks team.

1st!!!! How would it compare to the 2020 GLA?

"Touching cloth" is a euphemism for being in desperate need of a shite.

Ah, the Evoque... I feel people bought them because it was a cheap way into Range Rover ownership, and didn't want a Qashqai because they were so common... and yet still ended up driving something rather common, albeit with less space. I can actually see a point in owning a D180, not that I'll ever find myself in that position.

Superb, that’ll be a subscribe from me, then!

A bit disappointing there’s no hybrid...

I'll buy the convertible if it ever comes out.

Land rover hate continues.... Am it actually could go off road, like.

Penélope Cruz control?. WTF?. :)

Chris Rea parking camera?. :))

I owned a Range Rover Evoque HSE. It should have come standard with a tow truck. The styling of the vehicle looks great but can’t overcome the look of being hooked up to a rig while being towed back to the dealership for repairs. As far as off-road capability, the RR got stuck in a small snowdrift backing out of my garage on my daily commute to work. I have moved on to a Volvo and couldn’t be happier.

My daughter was given the latest model in HSE guise as a company car. At first she thought it was average . Now she thinks its OK. Not great just OK. Her previous car was a golf diesel ! Ive driven it and its nice. Nothing more, Just nice. Look forward to your reviews.

I came here for some RR bashing - I feel fulfilled. And let me add one more - the "square" shaped top window frame on the front doors, like soviet era design philosophy. Complete design trash, just like KIA Soul or second gen. Skoda Fabia, only this costs way more. And no, it is not a retro design detail, this has nothing to do with old Land Rovers...

😂😂😂🤩

First view video I watched on this channel was the makum Qashqai and last video is 2020 evoque. WOKE = GO BROKE! unsubscribed

Will it spend as much time in the garage getting fixed as the previous model? Not asking for a friend, as my wife has one and it is unreliable. The spec options until you add expensive extras are very basic too.

Yesterday's tech. Anyone who uses their hard earned cash to buy one of these things is going to take a massive depreciation hit as the EV revolution kicks in. But I love your presentation and humour Mark - great job and thanks!

Boring

Great Video Review. A great looking SUV with a smart Interior

I most definitely would not want one. Ugly things, look like someone slipped with the ruler when they drew the roofline.

Piers Morgan has started talking sense.
