Range Rover Evoque review

Perhaps the biggest reason to buy a Ranger Rover Evoque (other than the way it looks, of course) is how well it’s likely to hold on to its value. Our depreciation experts expect it to be worth more than any of its rivals – including the Audi Q3 and Volvo XC40 – when you come to sell in three years’ time.

Every Range Rover Evoque is well-equipped, with 17in alloy wheels, climate control, rain-sensing wipers, automatic LED headlights, keyless start, power-folding door mirrors and heated front seats fitted even to the cheapest version. Unless you go for range-topping Autobiography trim, you’ll still likely dip into the options list.

S trim gets larger (18in) alloys (and R-Dynamic S trim is identical apart from different 18in alloys), along with the heated, 12-way electrically adjustable front seats we mentioned earlier, leather upholstery and rear animated directional indicators. This trim is our pick for the best value-to-toys ratio.

R-Dynamic SE trim is also worth considering, adding an electric tailgate, automatic high-beam assist for the headlights and blind-spot assist (see the Safety and Security section). Range-topping Autobiography trim is luxurious but very expensive.
