The service intervals are 34000kms, whilst this seemed attractive at the purchase point, I’ve since come to the conclusion that I will half this and change the oil more regularly, anyone disagreeing I suggest you read the 8-page article on modern diesels in the June 2018 Wheels magazine.

Having had the car for well over a year mow the other disappointing thing is it has more rattles than my wife’s 2005 Honda CRV, again very disappointing for a car of its perceived quality. Some salesmen argue that this is not necessary in Australia but having had them standard on a Honda CRV and an entry level Jeep Grand Cherokee I can tell you they are a real luxury item that I appreciated and having a lower back issue it was great driving the 1hr to work with adjustable lumbar support and heat warmers on, almost like a massage, but the Evoque does not come standard with them and asks an exorbitant price to option them, very disappointing.

My vehicle comes with the option of panoramic sunroof and this makes a special car even more special in my opinion, the puddle lights are a quirky feature and the standard wheels are quite attractive, I can’t see the pointing paying more for the optional wheels but each to their own.ĭisappointingly for a car at this price point and it’s “prestige” target audience it does not come standard with electric seat warmers. The Meridian sound system is pretty good to, so is the GPS and 360 deg Camera system, Whilst the car can park itself, it’s not something I use. The ride comfort is particularly nice, the NVH levels are low and along with the beautiful 9-speed gearbox it makes for a great package to chew up miles in quiet comfort. I like the style and the comfort, we also considered the Discovery Sport at the time but the front seats of the Evoque are so much better, and I didn’t really require the capabilities off-road of the Discovery Sport. I created a shortlist and the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque was the car that my wife and I agreed on. The car it was replacing was a turbo diesel SUV and I wanted to keep the torque that you get from a diesel-powered vehicle too. I wanted something stylish, and as I am in my late 50’s I could afford something a little more special than I have had in the past. I bought this car because my commute to / from work is 166kms return, so I wanted a comfortable economical ride with the visibility that you only get from an SUV. I’d be confident taking it further than anything else in its class. We’ve done some light off-roading and it’s very confidence-inspiring, the low traction launch works really well and it makes getting driving in sand and mud really easy to do. It’s currently using around 7L/100km in combined driving without being too careful, which I think is impressive for the size of the thing.

The Meridien sound is excellent and using CarPlay on the huge screen is extra handy.

It’s incredibly smooth and quiet as well, 4 passengers would be really comfortable for a long trip, but if you’re going to be carrying people in the back for long journeys I’d definitely option the panoramic sunroof otherwise the smaller rear windows could make it a bit claustrophobic. I do love the drive, it’s an amazing cruiser and remarkably easy to drive around town. they are numerous and don’t seem to be able to be resolved completely, the dealer has been great about having it back, but it’s still not resolved 6 months in. The biggest disappointment with the car is the rattles. Otherwise I have additional power outlets, the adapters in the front seats to connect things to for the back seats, the camera in the rear vision mirror and a few other things. My car is pretty heavily optioned, the best options that I’d have again are the panoramic sunroof, black headlining and Meridien sound, the rest of my “must-haves” are standard in SE spec. My only real regret would be not going to the D240SE having gone from a long run of performance cars I could use the extra grunt. Definitely the most theatrical delivery process I’ve ever had! I think the D180SE was a good buy in terms of balanced performance and economy, having driven several petrol variants now I’m glad I did. I bought it new at the end of 2019 and found the buying process really pleasant. I fell in love with the Evoque at first sight and knew I had to have one the moment I saw the flush-mount door handles come out the first time (typical male).
