Used Range Rover Evoque 2019-present reliability

Although most people use their Range Rover Evoque for school runs and commuting, some might have taken theirs off road; it is a Land Rover, after all. So, have a look underneath for evidence of off-road damage such as dented panels, caked-on mud or broken bits of plastic.

Many will be available for sale through the Land Rover Approved Used scheme and should still look like new. Nevertheless, you ought to carry out the obvious checks for dents, scratches and kerb damage. Make sure the infotainment system works and has been updated to the latest software (the Pivi system allows over-the-air updates, so there shouldn't be any need to visit the dealer to complete this). Also inspect seats and carpeting for scuffs and stains.

As of writing, most of the Evoque's recalls relate to 2019 and 2020 models. They include...

Emergency call system

An issue has been found with the emergency call system that contacts the emergency service in the event of an airbag deployment or when the SOS button is pushed. An update of the system is required to solve this problem, and it applies to Evoques made from the start of production until 29 January 2020.

Rubberised fuel return hose assembly

Another recall of 2020 models states this part may have been incorrectly manufactured.

48Volt (V) electrical system

A number of 2020 models were recalled because the electrical system may cause a fault with another system – a software update solves this issue.
