Range rover evouge 2022

The original Land Rover Range Rover Evoque was a new concept for the brand when it burst onto the scene as a 2012 model. It married Range Rover’s traditional off-road virtues to an extremely stylish body with a premium interior and refined road manners. It was an instant hit, and the car went on to sell 770,000 units worldwide during its lifecycle. So it was a no-brainer that the automaker would produce an encore, and the second-generation Land Rover Range Rover Evoque we review here duly arrived in the USA in 2019. True to its brand ethos, the Evoque surprises with its off-road ability, and in this respect, it’s unique among subcompact crossover rivals such as the BMW X1, Audi Q3, and Volvo XC40, which are hopped-up hatchbacks rather than SUVs. Unfortunately, its pricing also reflects these extra abilities, and the Evoque is appreciably more expensive than rivals. All good and well if you buy into the premium off-roading Range Rover philosophy, but if you’re going to be driving predominantly on tarmac, these competitors do a better job in terms of efficiency, handling, and performance. Considering that’s where most people will use it, is there still an incentive to opt for the Rangey instead?
