3. Range Rover Evoque
Score 73.2%
The Range Rover Evoque isn't as bad as the full-blown Range Rover for reliability (see below), but 45% of cars had a problem. The exhaust (15%) was worst, then interior trim and engine and non-engine electrics (both 13%). Most remained drivable and two-thirds were fixed in less than a week, but a few owners paid up to £1500.
