Beautiful vehicle but oh the poor reliability

UPDATE TO REVIEW 6-5-17: SInce the dealership completely rewired my car, I have not have had any electronic issues. It took a very long time to get there, but the car now appears to be reliable. It continues to be a pleasure to drive now that it is working properly. I really love my Evoque. Super comfortable and so many hi tech features that put this car in a class by itself. The high beams turn in and off by themselves when they sense a dark road. The connectivity to my iPhone is amazing and my music effortlessly plays thorough the radio. The rear window is small, but better than you'd have in a convertible and you get used to it right away. Overall, a great vehicle. But the shoddy build really makes one rethink this purchase. My car came with a leak in the AC and spent 10 days in the shop. Then, the entire radio system went out. Got that fixed, too. Then, the map in the nav screen disappeared and it seemed that the car was incorrectly wired. When fixing that, we discovered that half the speakers were not connected. The sound was always terrible and suddenly it was like a symphony. Then the AC lost power (on a 110 degree day of course). More wiring issues. Kudos to my dealer who essentially rebuilt my car. Since then, it has worked like a dream but I have never had such a poorly built car. The factory in England where this vehicle is assembled should,d be ashamed of themselves. I suppose if yours is built right, you'll have a worry free ownership experience but I was not so lucky. They do give you a Land Rover or Jaguar loaner so it could be worse, but I'd much prefer they learn how to build a better vehicle. In balance I love my Evoque so that says something considering my repair history.

It is still premature to provide a solid review having just purchased my 2016 Range Rover Evoque Dynamic HSE within past month. However, I have spent several months that involved many days and several hours of researching, driving Evoques, visiting dealerships, reviewing websites, asking questions, comparing answers, talking to other Land Rover owners, and obtaining as much available and specific information regarding Land Rover. I am extremely particular about purchasing vehicles and have experienced both good and bad vehicles in 25+ years of driving. Like many, I do not look forward when the time rolls around to start considering my next vehicle purchase. Being a mother of 3 with a demanding professional career I look for vehicles with reliability and dependability that will last me 10 years with the absence of repair headaches and provide confidence that the time spent servicing vehicle is only for standard maintenance requirements. I am happy with my Range Rover Evoque and hope it will meet my high expectations for years to come. One significant point I would like to share for those considering purchasing a Land Rover vehicle in the future is to expect high costs for extended warranties. It's no secret Land Rover vehicles are expensive to maintain and repairs are costly if required. If purchasing pre-owned and looking to purchase extended warranty, do not be shocked at the price tag of $5K+ depending on year, make, model, current mileage, projected yearly mileage you intend to drive etc. It is wise to factor this expense into your purchase beforehand so your not left with your mouth hanging open in utter shock

I was looking at waiting for a 2018 Q5 or going back to a BMW X3 (I had had a 2011 and loved it) or an Evoque. I decided the X3 needs a refreshed look. The Evoque appealed to me because I wanted 4x4 to drive on the beach. I was a little skeptical about the mixed reviews I read, but I still wanted it. So I bought a 2016 with 12k on it that had been part of the dealers loaner fleet. I didn't want to pay full price for a new one in case I ended up not liking it. I've had it for three weeks and I am enjoying it. I don't have any kids and it's usually just me in the car. The back seat is tight, so it's not so conducive to car seats. After having the BMW X3 with tech package, I don't know that any car's navigation/entertainment will impress me. The way it operated with the joy stick was seemless and intuitive. The cockpit in the Evoque is uncluttered and easy to figure out. The response on the screen could be a little faster, but I am knit picking. It works fine. The navigation sometimes gets you very close to your destination but not quite there and says "you have arrived, navigation ended". But again, it's usually close enough to figure it out. I would not buy the car without blind spot detection (drivers assistance package) and any camera/parking sensors available. I had a hard time finding a 2016 preowned with it, but I was determined. Apparently the way it was packaged in that model year, a lot of people didn't get it. The blind spot from the rear pillars is significant so you need it. I didn't get the pano roof just because I was tired of looking and this car had everything else I wanted. I don't really miss it. I think passengers enjoy it more as it makes the back feel less clousterphobic. Pano roof was optional on the SE Premium for the 2016 model. It comes standard on the 2017 SE Premium. I did not like the standard wheel, I got the 19" split spoke. I got white with the lunar/ivory two tone seat and I love it. I had thought I wanted almond interior, but I love this. Gas mileage is poor. The gauge tells me i am getting 15-16 miles a gallon. Seats are super comfortable. Remote start from your iPhone is a cool feature. Takes a little more time than from a key fob, but it's fine. There is not a ton of room in the hatchback. They purposely have a bump out in the interior lining of the hatch to accommodate golf clubs. If you carry two sets of clubs, you may have to put part of the back seat down. The engine does shift a little differently than I was used to but it's not bothersome. The "waistline" on the car is high which is another reason cameras come in handy. I'm enjoying the car. I like that it's unique looking. Everything is starting to look the same. I test drove Mercedes GLC, Acura RDX, Lincoln MKC, Audi Q5. I did love the Q5, it was very fun to drive; but I wanted to get the Evoque out of my system.

Range Rover Evoque Worst Purchase Ever Made

Bought this 2016 Evoque back in 2016. It happened to be one of there So called well taken care of courtesy vehicles. Nothing but issues since the date of purchase. Was in the shop more than any vehicle I"ve ever owned. The sensor went... out ya know the brains of the vehicle! Ever since then it wasn't right even after they replaced it. Turbo lag. The power lift gate would never close all the way with one bag of groceries in the back hatch. Hated this car. Now I have a 2019 Chevy LT Tahoe and I love it. Nothing like a Chevy.

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.

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".

Wow! Where do I start. If you buy this expensive "Ford Escape" be prepared for poor reliability. Really, read the reviews! This poor excuse for an expensive SUV is riddled with quality issues. I wish I had driven it more than a couple of miles on my test drive. It rides as an off roader, it is NOT a cruiser. The lane assist doesn't work half the time and there is no beep if someone is in your blind spot while using your signal...worthless. The hands free rear hatch requires several off balance swings of your foot before it decides to open. The car has a very heavy understeer. The ride quality is the worst excuse for a 50k SUV. The throttle response is pathetic, because of the worst turbo lag I've ever experienced. The transmission shift points are only precise if you floor it, but why would you....after just 150 miles I achieved a whopping 17 mpg! The manufacturer says 24 combined. Why do you think it comes with an 18 gal. tank?. I returned it and traded in for an Audi. Stupid is what stupid does. That cost me thousands!...its that bad.
