Subpar acceleration, braking, ride and handling for a luxury SUV

Overview
Let's face it — no one's buying a 2025 Range Rover Evoque for its off-road capability. Most buyers will be drawn to its tidy footprint (great for zipping around and parking in the city), ample features and Baby Range Rover style. But should you want to scale the local fire roads en route to the wine bar, it's nice to know that you can. Range Rover's smallest and most affordable SUV combines the interior elegance and hushed ride of its larger counterparts with advanced trail tech. But aside from its all-terrain attitude and posh pedigree, the Evoque doesn't distinguish itself much from rivals.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2025 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 $3.74 per gallon for premium unleaded in Iowa.
Edmunds spotlight: Capable off-road, content to stay on
If we didn't know better, we'd think Land Rover was trolling. It's given its little SUV all-wheel drive, impressive ground clearance (8.3 inches), and driver-selectable terrain settings for optimized throttle, braking and steering response on slippery surfaces. There's even an off-road cruise control system that takes over braking and acceleration on rougher terrain, allowing the driver to simply focus on steering. The system constantly monitors the suspension and traction, and it can soften up the ride on the fly or apportion extra power to slipping wheels. It's a lot of capability for an SUV that isn't likely to see much time away from paved roads. True, this kind of hardware and driver assistance can come in handy in the mountains and snow, where the Evoque might be a fixture. But like most things Range Rover, practicality isn't the point. It's enough to know you can.
Competitors to consider
The luxury subcompact SUV class is no longer so exclusive, and the Evoque contends with capable, well-equipped and more affordable rivals. Among Edmunds' favorites are the sporty BMW X1, the well-rounded Volvo XC40 and the spacious Mercedes-Benz GLB. All get better fuel economy, and all but the Volvo offer more legroom and cargo space. The Evoque and its corporate cousin, the Jaguar E-Pace, are similar under the skin. Both share the same platform, engine, wheelbase and nearly identical length. They're priced about the same too. What the E-Pace gives up in off-road ability, it makes up for with sharper, sportier handling.

edmunds TESTED
The 2025 Range Rover Evoque makes a strong statement through its interior and exterior styling. The minimalist interior is perhaps the most striking, and it's certainly a quiet and comfortable place to spend your time behind the wheel. Unfortunately, the Evoque does little else to distinguish itself from its well-rounded rivals.
How does the Range Rover Evoque drive? Despite our test vehicle having the Dynamic SE package, the driving experience is decidedly pedestrian. Even when driven hard, the Evoque takes around 8 seconds to hit 60 mph, well behind most of its competitors, and simply runs out of steam over 75 mph. This slower-than-average performance isn't too noticeable in the city but becomes more apparent when merging onto the highway or while passing on a two-lane road. The Evoque also demonstrated lackluster braking and handling capabilities during our testing. Most rival luxury SUVs offer more satisfying performance across the board.
Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the Range Rover Evoque? The Evoque's compliant ride and quiet interior go some way toward offsetting its lack of performance and help make it a pretty comfortable cruiser. The well-padded standard leather seats proved comfortable over both long and short drives, and even the rear seats, which are tight for adults, are nicely contoured. Even with the optional 20-inch wheels, the Evoque still soaks up a majority of bumps and divots on city streets. A well-insulated interior furthers the luxury experience.
Interior
7/10
How’s the interior? The minimalist interior design looks neat, but we dislike that the climate controls are all touchscreen-based. Quick changes to temperature can be made from the home screen, but more specific controls, including those for the seat heaters, can only be accessed after a few virtual button clicks. Doing so can be distracting while driving.
As with any small SUV, rear seat legroom is at a premium for taller passengers, but the Evoque's sloping roofline steals away valuable headroom as well. We'd recommend opting for the surround-view camera system — the Evoque's high beltline and small back window make close-quarters visibility a bit tricky.

How’s the tech? The center touchscreen has nice-looking graphics and is pretty responsive to the touch. But figuring out the various on-screen menus is cumbersome. Combined with a sometimes laggy navigation system and unimpressive voice controls, the Evoque's infotainment gives up both functionality and performance to systems from rivals such as Mercedes and Volvo.
Wireless smartphone connectivity is standard and worked without fault in our testing for both Apple and Android users. Wireless charging is standard, and there are USB-C chargers for other devices.
Advanced driver aids, like adaptive cruise control, are standard but were somewhat conservative. Other aids, like lane keeping assistance, were not very good in our testing. The lane centering struggled to keep the Evoque centered, even on straight sections of highway, and quickly disengaged through gentle curves. More sophisticated systems are available from the competition.
Storage
7/10
How’s the storage? The Evoque's rakish styling cuts into its outright cargo capacity, but it can still hold a decent amount behind its second row of seats. With those seats up there's 21.6 cubic feet of storage on offer, which is similar to what's available in the Mercedes-Benz GLA and BMW X1. The rear seats can be folded to increase capacity but don't fold completely flat. Small-item storage isn't plentiful but there are enough spots to stash smaller personal effects. Got small kids? Larger car seats will likely not fit in the rear seats without moving the front seat well forward. But the seat anchors are clearly marked and readily accessible.

Fuel Economy
6/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the Range Rover Evoque will get 22 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Over our real-world evaluation route, the Evoque basically hit the nail on the head, returning 22.9 mpg on premium gasoline. Other small luxury SUVs we've tested exceed this result by several mpg.
Value
6.5/10
Is the Range Rover Evoque a good value? Going on looks alone, the Evoque looks every bit its price. It's immediately identifiable as a Range Rover on the outside, and once inside, there's a futuristic minimalism that Tesla's been chasing for a decade. Many of the touchpoints felt sturdy in our test vehicle but a few pieces, mainly around the center console, felt a bit light and downmarket. We're also not sold on what you're getting here. The Evoque is typically more expensive than similarly optioned rivals like the Audi A3, Mercedes-Benz GLB and Volvo XC40. For that amount of money, the Evoque should have more than a few considerable advantages over those rivals, but it doesn't.
Warranties for the Range Rover are average for the segment, with both bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranties of four years/50,000 miles. Roadside assistance coverage is again the same but free maintenance is not offered.
Wildcard
7/10
If style is at the top of your wants and needs list, the Range Rover Evoque should be at the top of your list too. The Evoque downsizes the brand's luxury cachet into a compact package and it remains as comfortable and serene as you'd expect a Range Rover to be. Inside, there's more style that mimics the brand's larger and more expensive models so you won't feel like you're missing out. Beyond the style, however, there's not much else that makes the Evoque stand out from the crowd.
Which Range Rover Evoque does Edmunds recommend?
Of the two trims, we'd opt for the base S trim. The Dynamic SE's upgrades are largely in styling and appearance, ideal for buyers seeking some extra flair, but you get the same key features with either trim. We'd still add the Dynamic Handling package for its adaptive suspension and sharper cornering. And given the Evoque's poor rear side visibility, the Technology Pack and its included surround-view camera would be useful.
The overall sentiment from owners about the 2025 Range Rover Evoque is negative. Owners appreciate its stylish design and smooth driving experience, especially in cities. However, many report numerous problems such as engine noise, leaks, unreliable electronics, and poor customer service. Some owners also found it unsafe due to the car's hesitation feature and frequent trips to the shop for repairs.

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.
