Used 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Consumer Reviews

Range Rover vs. Porsche Macan

I test drove the Range Rover and the Porsche Macan. I couldn't justify paying 10K extra for the Porsche Macan. Sure the Porsche's engine was strong and had better pick up and felt expensive but was it worth 10K more. I really like my red Eovque and it gets a lot of great looks and compliments. I would like the pick up to be a little faster in the Evouqe but given the recent news about VW, I would give up power for better emissions. The interior is very nice and feels classy. i acutally had to read the owner's manual from almost front to back to understand all the features. The SUV looks comparably small compared to other SUVs and lack of trunk space is noticable (i had a Audi Q5 before). Overall I am very satisfy with this purchase. i probably paid too much for it but oh well.

Bluetooth Nightmare

I have had nothing but problems with the Bluetooth feature in this car! I have had the Evoque to the dealer more than once. I have also changed out my phone thinking it was the phone. The dealership told me they can't find anything wrong yet I have read all over the internet I am not alone. I do a large part of my business on the phone and this is truly unacceptable.

Love it

Gorgeous car.. too much work though..

Let me start with the things I love about the car; Super stylish, super comfortable, very intuitive, everything about the design of the vehicle is wonderful, lot's of thought full additions and as a daily driver it really shines. Except maybe for space (more later). Electronics leave a little to be desired but workable. Amazing off-road. Although it doesn't have a low transfer case, it's extremely capable off-road. The exception to this however is clearance, especially when you load the vehicle up with a few days worth of camping equipment. it really isn't built for that and clearance really suffers as a result. It's sort of like 4wd for dummies which is a good thing.. mostly just select the type of terrain you're on, point it where you want to go and the 4wd system figures out the rest. We've driven it on mud-ruts, washboard, gravel, sand, pebbles, rocks (not huge ones bc of clearance) and even snow.. in Colorado no less! Unbelievable. Now the cons. The cost of ownership is really what lets this vehicle down.. and I suspect the entire land rover / range rover range. Unless you're a millionaire AND have tons of time or the ability to have someone looking after your cars you're going to get frustrated. The car was always having to go into the shop for something. The final straw for us was when we took 2 road trips of not more than 5,000 miles each) had it serviced between them (check engine light) and as we were returning on the 2nd trip the check engine light came on again.. which leads me to my next point.. Getting these cars serviced is a nightmare! On the return from the 2nd trip I couldn't get a service appointment for nearly 2 months. 2 months! Then each service always took waaay too long.. the previous service took a week.. I might add they didn't look at the vehicle for nearly 3 days.. it just sat on the lot for that time while they cleared the backlog of service requests on other vehicles. Why book it in for work when you can't fulfill the request in a timely manner? And lastly the cost.. if you can average out of service costs for less than $1,000 you deserve to win the lottery! My experience is not unique.. I was talking to one other owner in particular who really started to make me think about changing.. he said "when you own a land rover / range rover you need to buy 2, one for the repair shop while you drive the other and visa-versa".

Rang Rover 2015 Evoque - Transmission problem (Gea

Was excited at first, but the luster wore off quickly. Purchased a new 2015 Evoque and experienced numerous problems requiring 'Software Updates' which seems like a go to answer for everything. 51K miles and the Turbo died which cost a pretty $3,400 to repair, the dealership answer was 'well sometimes that happens'. Now as of April 2019, my wife was driving the transmission provided a 'Gear Box Fault'. Towed to the dealer who ran diagnostics. Service technician calls and says a full transmission replacement is required. Cost is $17K! Holy crap. The cars only worth $15K. History repeats itself, Land Rovers break too much and costly to keep. Buy 2 Hyundai for the price of 1 LR/RR and save yourself the misery. My Buick and Ford's have held up better then this. Bad investment on our part.
