Overview
Few cars have defined a segment quite like the Range Rover Evoque. It made the compact premium SUV desirable, and the 2024 model keeps the formula intact: head-turning looks, a plush cabin and genuine off-road ability that most rivals cannot touch.
British buyers gravitate towards the D200 diesel — a 2.0-litre mild-hybrid with 204PS, standard all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic. It suits the Evoque well, delivering strong mid-range pull and respectable economy. The P200 petrol is smoother and quieter but thirstier, while the P300e plug-in hybrid offers around 30-plus miles of electric running for those who can charge regularly.
Inside, the Evoque feels special: the Pivi Pro infotainment is slick, materials are rich, and the driving position is commanding. Rear space and the 472-litre boot are merely adequate rather than generous — rivals like the BMW X1 carry more — but the Evoque counters with unmatched kerb appeal and real all-terrain talent. It rides comfortably, feels solid and oozes desirability. If image matters and you want something with true Land Rover DNA in a compact footprint, the Evoque 2024 remains unique.
