We have been running one of these for 5 months. The interior experience is terrific- premium quality. We have an electric sunroof which is fabulous but probably best avoided if you are tall. Fuel economy so far is 75+ mpg (mainly short journeys). Ride quality is good and super quiet over all road types. Accelerates like a scalded cat. The 3 cylinder is very refined and seamlessly cuts in and out. We have a Podpoint charger which schedules charging in the middle of the night at low rate. Very impressed so far with this product.
Hi, I’m thinking in getting one of these guys, what about the maintenance? It is reliable?
@@AmfrozGamingdancing_bread No issues so far
Can you tell me how far it will travel non stop on a full tank? I’m in Australia and 250miles from Sydney?
Dumb question but what happens when you do not charge the electric motor? My dealer says you still get 309HP total and 109HP from the electric motor, but that doesn't make any sense. What happens when you don't charge the electric motor, does it still give any boost?
@@thejudgeholden Why doesn't it make sense? The engine should be able to charge it to a level that can still provide acceleration boost, as acceleration is an occasional event, engine has ample time to charge the battery in between the cruise and stops. This is how non-plug in hybrids work.
We are on our 3rd Evoque with the 4th on order. We have never had any issue with any of the cars. 100% reliability for us.
Basically the same drive system as my BMW 330e, I had it two years now and get an actual 130 mpg because I am running on electric 75% of the time. I'm very happy with it.
We have enjoyed a model just like the one in the video for 6 months. We are very happy. Good quality, comfortable, quiet, and at legal speeds it consumes little. Congratulations on the video. Greetings from Galicia.
This was the best review I have seen. Thx
Great review. The detail is useful. I would like to know more about seat adjustment if you can fit that in too;)
Brilliant car and great review these have never let me down
thanks for explaining 🙂
Three full size Range Rovers, one RR Sport SVR, three Evoques and one Defender later and we’ve had one starter motor fail on the 2010 Range Rover. Don’t know if, speaking from actual experience, I’d call that “too unreliable”.
To Many people claiming LR's and RR's are unreliable have never actually owned one. Have you noticed, its always a mate, or a guy down the pub who has had nothing but trouble ? 😂😂😂. On a foot note, I owned a Freelander 1, 2.0 TD4, which i had for 8 Years, no major issues, only your normal wear and tear items. Infact, the only real issue with the landy 1, was seized glow plugs in the Engine, and guess what ? That engine was the BMW engine. I now own a Freelander 2, 2.2 TD4, which i have had for 5 years, again, no major Issues.
@@johnmalin1676 So, sooooo true !!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm interested in buying a new Evoque as I'm been very happy with my, now 7 year old, Evoque. I'm inclined to buy the P300E but I need to understand what I can expect on MPG for a journey of say 120 miles on mix of A and motorway roads. Any guidance?
I loved range rover nice review bro.
I'd love to see a comparison of this vs the Rav4 prime
How did you get such good MPG - when did you use different modes
Great reviews. Thanks. I’d just ordered one yesterday. I’m promised to be delivered by the end of June. Can’t wait to give it a go, my first Land Rover!
Based on the amount of luxury cars I see on the road, 95% of the UK's population are richer than me. I have no idea how so many people can afford these 50k+ machines
Lease or finance. I drive a 2013 fiat 500 and at least I own it.
Agreed.
Company cars, salary sacrifice before tax
How long does the battery last with hybrid driving?
I think the electric Ford Galaxy will be a better option for many; looks like it’s not far off being released… there are similar variants within the group in the USA already. I have extensively compared the current IC Galaxy and evoque and much prefer the Galaxy.
Cannot see a 360 degree camera on latest spec or an option which is disappointing, can anyone confirm speed of onboard charger? Cannot see it on their site.
...It comes with an engine but if you want that engine to have an air and oil filter, you have to pay £1350 extra. It comes with wheels but if you want them attached to the car, you have to pay an extra £650..
I'm surprised that it comes with a steering wheel... although no doubt it will cost an extra £1,000 to have it heated.
@@mda5003 £230 actually
Such a nice looking Car. Ideal for city driving...
Would the Evoque be any good towing a caravan does anyone tow with one
"Good short runs"... but not on the motorway. At speeds, you use the electrons too fast. Plug use best for in-city driving. When you hit the freeway ramp, shut it off and use the hybrid engine until you are off.
I hired a PHEV a few weeks ago, a Skoda Octavia estate. While I realise it's not quite the same thing, but by comparison it took 5 hours to charge from empty and ran for about 35 miles at motorway speeds before going on to petrol. Most times I came off the gas it would put a little more into the battery, as it did every time I braked. So much so that when I went into the services after 120 miles it went back onto battery until I went back onto the motorway. When we got to the ferry there was enough electrickery to get us on and off the boat. Transition from battery to ICE was almost seamless. Doubtless VW and Audi will be better still. If the Evoque wants to compete, RR needs to up its game.
In addition, at the two fill ups it returned 58 and 62 mpg, worked out, not from the trip computer in about 600 miles, mostly on motorways.
Now if the infosystem doesn't keep resetting or the top screen going blank then I would be very happy with my p300e autobiography. However when you are paying serious money for these cars, this is not what you would expect. Oh and if you start the car whilst still on charge, then you cannot switch it off without unplugging and then switching off.
I have the p300e and had this blank screen also happening once which is annoying, but i have to tell you that the expensive rivals BMW 7 series, Audi RS6, wich cost way more money all have problems with their infotainment resetting.
(P300 AWD AUTOMATIC PHEV). My local dealer is saying I would get to benefit near 309hp even I do not charge the electric motor. Is there any truth to this? How does an electric motor generate additional power if it has run out of charge? I'm hoping to buy an Evoque model soon and I would appreciate any assitance regarding my enquiry.
It would be great if they let the batteries charge while using petrol just like some other brand hybrids
thanks for this review we are thinking to get this instead if the mercedes GLE!
Big Mistake ahead Pal !
but i’m not a fan of german cars but you have the liu not i’ll decided
i will buy this car one day because i want a luxury car but also to be environmentally friendly
Price of all the extras is a piss take!
If you're thinking of buying one remember that the world electronic chip shortage is seriously delaying production. I've been told by the dealer not to expect a new car to be delivered this year, and they are consequently selling recent used cars for over list for a new one.
I ordered March 3rd, delivery confirmed for 16/08/21, in just glad to get it this side of the 2021!
Once you see the prices it is clear that this whole video is an like an advert of an Evoque D165.
Interesting. If only doing short journeys then yes a good idea but most people go out of town. How are LR going to get away from diesels ? Really ? They don’t seem to have any idea of an overall economical alternative.
Do wheels come standard or are they part of an options pack?
3 are standard on the HSE model, but 4th is part of the 'mobility pack' at £1450 (£1950 on all other trim levels)
Technology pack is more than I paid for my entire car 😂
Why can't the car also charge the battery too when required on a long run ?.
The performance must be really poor when the battery is depleted.
6:10 *I have one and use it to nip to the Local ALDI or ASDA both around 2 miles away two or three times a week, and am getting over 26,000 mpg - is this a record ?*
The quote "It will hold on its value better than all of its rivals" but also mention that it has poor reliability issue. That itself doesn't make sense who would want to buy it at higher price once its 3 years unlimited mileage warranty is over>?
I have also been wondering this. Weird how there are 150k + rovers for sale.
In save mode it will self charge pretty well in my experience.
03:30 No under thigh support when sat in the back. Very awkward seating position.
Interesting this is seen as a rival to the likes of X1. I would have thought X3 is more of a direct competitor.
Eu.creio tomo posi e verdade Deus proverá Amém ogloria ogloria ogloria ogloria ogloria
So the selling point for an off roader is its "city driving"? Make me understand.
I was going to buy my girlfriend on but after that video, I'll buy her a M3.
Ford Kuga plug in seems good option
As a kuga PHEV owner I am happy to report it’s a fabulous car, it has all the bells and whistles along with average mpg of 85.5 over 9000 miles!
I own one of these
The aesthetics and design fantastic
But
I can honestly say I have multitude of issues from beginning to now 16,000 miles in. I still have on going issues.
1st issue the diesel gasket was leaking fumes into cabin this was literally on delivery had car less then 24 hours
2nd issue had to return dealer as rear window would not close
3rd issue pro touch duo screen system
Both screen going blank or jitter non stop meaning no control of there sat nav, driving setting and climate control etc. Been back to the dealer numerous times told it was a issue update.
Sometimes indicators were no indicating sound etc
Returned to dealer numerous occasions they realised this was a wiring issue.
Next issue the stop start no longer functions
Going back to dealer again soon.
There few aspect that annoyed me
For the price your paying for I was surprised there no wireless charging especially. Other similar car brands has this as standard.
I've done 40k in mine. No problems at all. My previously owned Audis were hopeless.
How can you have a diesel issue in a petrol hybrid?
اتمنا من الله ان اكسب سيارة كما هذي اهههههههه مشاءالله رائعا يارب اعتيني مثلها امين
RAV4 PHEV is way better.
not in terms of interior quality, tech, style
So whats the mpg when the battery is dead ?
Also looking for mpg in layman’s terms. I received the following email response below but i just don’t understand. They aren’t able to give me the mpg for the fuel alone:
We have just the combined figure for the MPG for our plug in hybrids. Here is the Evoque
196.00WLTP Fuel Consumption ( up to ) (mpg)
33 g/km
WLTP CO₂ Emissions (from)
37.9 mi.
WLTP All-Electric Range (EAER)
@What Car?
Correction: Apple Car and Android Auto are both wireless and wired !
Can you tow a caravan?
Myself, my parents and my partner are all dedicated LandRover owners, the one rule we've all learned about LR ownership is that warranty is paramount.
Most vehicles never miss a beat, but it seems the ones that left the factory on Friday afternoons are doomed. Any niggles early on are precursors for relentless major faults.
Blimey Charlie, £49k
Broad … … ? Difficult to say wide?🤔
*Looks great, shame to think it will be crushed in 2030 !*
they're only stopping the sale of new ICE cars so you'll be seeing hybrids well into the 2030s. In fact I can almost guarantee that our 2018 golf diesel will still be running by then
50 grand!!!???
Either way what's the point of a Land Rover for just town? Actually what's the point in general unless you live in the countryside!
Notice how I didn't mention its reliability!!
Did you know the Word "Evoke" in Peruvian means "Tends to be a bit temperamental in the reliability department" and that's why Landrover decided to spell it "Evoque" which in Swahili means "Lets hope they don't notice.
£50k for such limited ev range 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Definitely should have been full EV
JLR's appalling reliability record is enough to put me off. There are many better (more reliable) PHEVs available for significantly less money. Kia Niro will get my money.
After 2 Evoques and no issues I think the issues are isolated. If you are considering comparing a Kia then you aren’t related at all to the RR target market. We could all save money and eat at Mac Donald’s but some of us prefer to spend extra and enjoy a restaurant.
Don't these cars come in the worst in reliability in every test?
yep, but don't they look good?!
Dream Car
Such a pity about their reliability as that’s one very handsome car. The whole RR Range always spins heads. Lease only +++
This would be a big worry for me if I were in a position to buy this car, Land Rover's dreadful reliability reputation
Have you actually owned one ?
@@johnmalin1676 I owned 2 x RR Sports, very handsome, powerful, comfortable…well all boxes ticked however under warranty so wasn’t worried…sold them before the warranty expired. Loved the product & still do.
However no, wouldn’t get one outta warranty no. 👍🏻
@@user-gw5rs7fp9j But have you had any reliability issues with them?
@@cubworx7397 in all honesty I had them for such a short length of time I can’t really say. No I didn’t however all of the blogs, statistics don’t lie, they are complicated machines so I wouldn’t want one out of warranty.
How is the steering wheel not electric? That wouldn't fly in America but I see it a common option in British vehicle's.
unless you have 2 very fussy drivers how often do americans actually move the steering wheel. I set it up the day I get a car and never touch it again
the interior and styling is great, but land rover should really make a pure electric car , this hybrid stuff is just so middle class drivers feel sanctimonius when trundling around notting hill. it would also improve their appalling reliablity record. if you are paying over 50 grand for a car, worrying about breakdowns shouldnt be an issue.
Hi in all this hurry to go electric I'm surprized that car manufacturers can put there billions into reducing the tail pipe emissions,or r they just jumping on the ev bandwagon ?
Really don't see the purpose of these SUVs...it's not like Mr. Director or Mrs Poser going off-road...look at the peeps on my road 😂
Why is it that people who clearly aren’t the target market and either can’t afford or are jealous throw mud?
@@mikebedford4362everyone is entitled in the uk to free speech...

omg a vegan eucalyptus leather?! YES! yay! omg i'm so excited to get one now! i really hate leather
Too unreliable to own. Lovely as it is, all JLR cars are just too badly made. I know the new MD wants to beef up the qc, but haven't they all?
If you want to go into the wild in style and comfort take a Range Rover. If you want to come back take a Toyota! Or practically anything else.
Regards
Say's another guy who has probably never owned one, but knows someone who had one, or read all the bad reviews from Toyota /BMW/Audi owners who also have never owned one 😂😂😂😂
@@johnmalin1676 Hi there John. I took over my mothers Landrover in 1976, my first car. It was continually causing issues. Which as a young chap I just couldn't afford the continual repair bills. I eventually abandoned it in London in 1985, when it wouldn't start, I come from Wales . In 1991, I had a brand new top of the range Range Rover, this is what put me off them. On it's first day out, my then girlfriend opened the passenger door, which dropped about half an inch, and couldn't be lifted back into place. It continually leaked in heavy rain not from the door, some where else, never found, so the carpets had to be dried the seats went moldy etc. The electrics were awful, constantly telling me I had break failure, when there was none. The brakes glazed however, but nothing to do with the hazard lights. I was driving from London to my farm in Wales when a plastic bush in the gearbox(!!!) melted. Thousands of minor issues, and rust within about 18 to 24 months. Little or no help, or care from the dealership. Sold for monster loss.
Finally, when I bought the farm where I live now (2005), it came with a long wheel base landrover. I gave it to one of the builders working here at the time. As far as I know it still doesn't run. My experience of most of JLR's output is fantastic world beating designs, put together to a standard akin to 1970s Eastern European levels, ala say, Lada. Sorry John, but my level of frustration with that Range Rover, also the lack of care from the dealer has put me off for life. The saddest thing is that JLR, and their dealers are well aware this is the case. They continue to promise that it's all in the past and they'll get it right this time, but they never do. Now there's a new chap in charge making the same banal pledges. It's all hot air. If they do ever get build quality under control they should have a guarantee like Kia or is it Hyundai 100,000 miles etc in place. But they'll never be able to. Finally I have an old BMW it's been hammered for 225,000 miles. It just starting to show it's age. I'd like to replace it with a Lexus but think they're ugly! What ever I get it won't be JLR, I've heard their empty promises too many times. Kind regards P
@@phillipchadwick8269 Your Comparing Apples and pares. Most 90's cars rusted and had reliability issues, + If the door dropped like you claim, and it was brand new, why didn't you have it repared under warranty ? In the 90's, i had a Volvo 360, and that leaked like a sieve.
@@johnmalin1676 John I'm sorry to hear about your Volvo. I'm not sure you're absolutely right about 90s cars being unreliable and prone to rust. The Range was a replacement for a Porsche I had wiped out on ice, hitting both sides of the crash barriers on a motorway in Gloucestershire! Hence wanting 4 wheel drive. But that was bomb proof, no issues at all.The Range spent most of its 1st year in the dealers garage being fixed. At the time I had sales agents all over the uk and was driving 30,000ish miles a year. One of the dealers mechanics came to me at one point saying " you do realise these cars aren't meant to do a big mileage!!! At that point it had only done about 45000 miles.
But the issue I have is the noises coming out of JLR are the same today as then, ie we accept qc was a problem but we're getting it right from now on....I believe their build quality to be institutionally dire. If their product is now so wonderfully reliable, why don't they match the verbage with a guarantee like other manufacturers at less than half the price? Regards P
1976 - gee that’s an updated view?! I’ve had 2 Evoques and never had a moments issue
How are manufacturers allowed to quote these nonsense figures
It's not the manufacturers being "allowed" but the various international agencies forcing them. It's well known that they are meaningless in absolute terms (so why don't the agencies have more "real world" data?) but they do give a reasonable comparison.
Wouldn't have a plug in hybrid
My condolences. 😂

When a reviewer starts with a fantastic car at the beginning, that's where viewers generally skip and move on. Terrible review.
It's 2021 and he recommended diesel ( for long journeys) that's awful advice. The depreciation will be horrific. I
For those purchased as company cars that ain't a problem! In fact, because the depreciation is so good on the Evoque it makes it more affordable than any other rival (and I mean proper rivals like the XC40/60, X3, Q5)
@@John_Leaver diesel is being pulled out for many reasons. The sooner it's behind us the better.
Diesel has it's place in industry. Just shouldn't be for domestic users.
Any true car journalist recommending it for anything other than commercial use needs to have a word with themselves.
@@topcat4265 A modern Euro 6 or above diesel is a fairly clean and highly economical source of power especially for medium and large cars. Diesel has the highest energy density of any fuel. The only place where I would not recommend one is for short stop start journeys, where a petrol, hybrid or even a pure EV would be better. I used to have a Prius which I bought for a 60 mile round stop start mixed urban / semi urban commute. For that purpose it was ideal, but it was as satisfying as driving a washing machine. When I stopped having to do that, I bought a Euro 6 diesel. 1800 rpm at 80 mph and over 60 mpg, coupled with lots of low down torque is ideal. Horses for courses really. These days it depends on your driving profile as to what is the best option.
@@fraser7744 I think you missing the point. Just because something is convenient, cheap or easy doesn't make it right. The amount of people who develope respiratory problems directly to do with tailpipe emissions is unacceptable. Mass adoption of EVs/hydrogen cars has to be aggressively accelerated. In the modern day petrol hybrids should have very few use cases if any.
I accept this burden should be on government yes but
Brilliant interior? Nagh they can keep their piano black!
Obviously this car specked to how LR like it, but all of the screens are black because that’s what screen are.
@@H.K_R yeah and steering wheels are screens too, central consoles are also screens and door trims are screens. When will people understand that companies are putting so much piano black plastics because it's CHEAP!
@@ian2183 The door trims and centre console can be trimmed a wood finish (if your 40-80) or a carbon fibre one (if your 18-30)
@@H.K_R yes you may be right. But the steering wheel cant. Also the quality of land rover isn't the best.
