New Range Rover Evoque vs used BMW X5: verdict
New Range Rover Evoque vs used BMW X5 – alternatives
New rivals, used rivals
Even though diesel is being banished from the Volvo XC40 range, a 1.5 petrol T3 offers similar performance and economy to the diesel Range Rover Evoque. Okay, you won't have four-wheel drive, but then again, few really need that.
If you want a used luxury SUV that drives better than the X5, you'll need a Porsche Cayenne. Lots of electronic trickery helps to make the Cayenne even sharper in bends, and you should be able to find an example with a liberal sprinkling of optional extras for similar money to our used X5.
New Range Rover Evoque vs used BMW X5 – which is best?
Our verdict
This is one of those times when you could go for either car and not be making the wrong decision; it really comes down to what your priorities are.
The X5 is obviously the more practical choice, plus it's faster, slightly cheaper to buy and the more agile of the two. But the Evoque counters by being cheaper to run, better equipped and a lot more comfortable.
For us, though, it's the new car that ultimately makes more sense on this occasion, unless you really need the extra space that the X5 offers.
