Pros
- Classy interior design

- Uncomfortable front seats
- Subpar acceleration, braking and handling for a luxury SUV
What's new
- The 296-hp engine is back in a new P300 HST trim with dark accents
- Heated seats and power tailgate now come standard
- A wireless charging pad with signal booster is also standard
- Part of the second Evoque generation introduced for 2020
Overview
The Range Rover Evoque is Land Rover's smallest SUV, and as the name suggests, it belongs to the brand's Range Rover family. Though it may be small, it lives up to the moniker with a luxurious interior and surprisingly good off-road performance. The Evoque was fully redesigned in 2020, and though it loses some of the quirky form-over-function design of the previous generation, it's a stylish compact luxury SUV.
For 2022, Land Rover brings back the Evoque's 296-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder and mild hybrid drivetrain in a new P300 HST model, which effectively replaces last year's top-trim R-Dynamic HSE. Besides the more powerful engine, the HST gets you darkened exterior accents, premium leather upholstery, HST-exclusive 20-inch wheels and a 12-speaker Meridian audio system. There are also new standard features across the lineup, including heated front seats, a power tailgate, a wireless charging pad and more.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque P250 S 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.45 per gallon for premium unleaded in Ohio.

Avg. Compact SUV
The Evoque performs better than you'd expect off the beaten path, but beyond that it doesn't offer much the competition can't do better. The Evoque is tight on interior space and light on seating comfort, which is a bad combination in a premium SUV. It's also not that impressive in the performance department, even with the hotter engine. If you're shopping for a luxurious compact SUV, you might want to consider the Acura RDX, BMW X3, Genesis GV70 or Volvo XC60 first.
Which Range Rover Evoque does Edmunds recommend?
For the best bang for your buck, we recommend the SE trim. It builds on the base model's equipment list with handy features like blind-spot warning and dual touchscreen displays. We'd also add adaptive cruise control with stop & go, which is a stand-alone option on the SE.
2022 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque models
The 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is a subcompact luxury SUV available in five trim levels: S, SE, R-Dynamic S, R-Dynamic SE and HST. All but the HST come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (246 horsepower, 269 lb-ft of torque) paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The P300 HST brings back the turbocharged 2.0-liter mild hybrid setup (296 hp, 295 lb-ft) after a year absence.
S
Comes with a well-rounded set of features including:
- 18-inch wheels
- Power-folding, heated mirrors
- Rain-sensing wipers
- Auto-dimming driver's side mirror
- LED headlights
- Privacy glass

- Proximity keyless entry
Interior and technology highlights include:

The Evoque also comes standard with driver aids such as:
- Lane keeping assistance (steers the Evoque back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
- Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
- Surround-view camera (gives you a top-down view of the Evoque and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
Moving up to the SE trim level adds features such as:
- 20-inch wheels
- Upgraded LED headlights with auto leveling and high beams
- Dual 10-inch touchscreen displays
- Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
The R-Dynamic S and R-Dynamic SE versions share the same features as their base-model counterparts but add sportier exterior treatments, such as gloss black trim accents and side vents.
The HST is based on the R-Dynamic S and adds:
- Upgraded 296-hp engine
- Dark exterior accents
- Black contrast roof
- Premium leather upholstery
- Ebony faux suede headliner and steering wheel

Mechanical issues, gas consumption, start stop
Erin H, 01/25/2020
2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque R-Dynamic HSE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 9A)
I have a 2020 Evoque, and the biggest problem is an engine noise that the dealership has attempted to fix 3 times and can’t. Sounds like a 20 year old car. No response from corporate for this official lemon. The start stop issues like other reviewers mention is also aggravating. Bluetooth disconnects every time the car is turned back on and I have to manually reconnect. And this one- the … steer assist jerks me out of merging into a lane I’m intending to merge into- even when I use my turn signal like the dealer advised when I informed them of this scary and dangerous issue.

It's a lemon :(
M Wills, 09/08/2020
2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque SE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
I dreamed of owning a Range Rover, I even waited to get the 2020 evoque due to the new body shape and interior.
Well it's a lemon, the most unreliable car I've ever had (and I've had lots of cars!) It's now 11 months old and it's spent about a month of that in the repair shop.
Coolant went, suspension clips wore out, onboard computer has crashed 4 times and made the car unsafe, it … started deselecting it's gear when I was stationary, the screens get stuck and it disconnects from my phone on a daily basis.
It's also terrible to drive, the lag on the powertrain is dangerous, I want to pull out into traffic and yet the car responds so slowly that it makes it unsafe to do so. The unresponsiveness is horrendous.
So yes it's pretty to look at but it's awful to drive and spends most of it's life in the repair shop.
Do not buy one :(

Defective product that should be recalled
Jeff Smith, 11/01/2020
2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque R-Dynamic SE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 9A)
I've had so many issues with this vehicle that the dealership (LR Cleveland) actually threw me out and banned me from the dealership because they couldn't and no longer wanted to try service the car. This vehicle is not only unsafe to drive, but it is also falling apart.

UNSAFE!!
Melissa, 11/25/2019
2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque First Edition 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
Though this car looks great.... it is extremely unsafe! The auto start stop ECO mode is very unsafe. The engine goes off, you attempt to enter traffic and the car does NOT respond... then you push the gas harder and the car lunges forward... you're not expecting it! I've been in numerous situations due to the hilly terrain of Western Pennsylvania, where I've been in the car, waiting … to merge into traffic (with my children in the car) and the car doesn't respond and when it does, it's a driving hazard as on-coming cars are too close. The engine hesitation even occurs when I manually turn off the ECO mode (which I HAVE to do every time I start the car) I'm so very disappointed with this vehicle. I've reached out to Land Rover. The customer service has been less than satisfactory and no resolution has been met.
