Best Convertible Ever
Jack R., Bellevue, WA, 12/04/2021
2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque HSE Dynamic 2dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
I enjoy convertibles but Land Rover really helped me out by creating the convertible SUV. I ride high, can 4 wheel drive, and go convertible all in one car. Great reliability too.
Edmunds Summary Review of the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque HSE Dynamic SUV
Pros & Cons
- Pro:Striking exterior and interior design
- Pro:Available convertible variant is the only one of its kind
- Pro:Fun to drive
- Con:Limited visibility, especially for the convertible
- Con:Not a lot of backseat space
- Con:Premium pricing compared to subcompact competitors
Which Range Rover Evoque does Edmunds recommend?
For starters, you have to choose between having a retractable roof or hardtop. Opting for the convertible comes with many downsides — getting in and out; reduced storage and visibility — but makes for a unique driving experience. We think most shoppers will be happier with the four-door fixed-roof variant. Also, you'll want the more powerful optional engine since last year's base engine left us wanting more oomph. These choices land you in the well-equipped HSE Dynamic, which includes many features you'd want, such as navigation, premium audio and heated front seats.

Driving
The Evoque Convertible offers some off-roading capability, but typical buyers won't be seeking it out for off-path exploration. Instead, this SUV delivers a unique combination of sporty handling dynamics, a commanding road view and top-down freedom.
Comfort
Like many convertibles, you sacrifice some top-up sound insulation for drop-top fun, and the Evoque is no different. The convertible top blocks out wind noise exceptionally well, and there's surprisingly good road comfort to be had, but the squeaks seem to find their way in on bumpier roads.
Interior
The compact Evoque has more interior space to offer than what appears. Its touchscreen infotainment, while easy to use, requires a bit of a stretch to reach controls closer to the passenger side. And for those who are less limber, getting in and out requires an above-average effort, especially for the back seat.
Utility
The Evoque Convertible is a sport-utility vehicle, but only in name. It does the "sport" thing pretty well, but "utility" is a joke. The trunk is more a rear cubby, and not a very accessible one at that. Small-item storage within the cabin is scant.
Technology
There are a lot of driving aids, some of which are optional and ones we recommend. If you plan to drive with the top up a fair amount, the 360-degree cameras and blind-spot systems will save a lot of headache. We experienced some issues with the touchscreen, voice controls and phone integration.
