The Range Rover Evoque is probably the most common sight on British roads. Second only to potholes. Today I'm in this 2013 2.2 SD4 to see what they're like. Let's go...

Havent seen a guy this real, legit, open, chilled and so well spoken to leave us with all the answers we need to make a decision. Big shout out to you bro 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you
I’ve had mine nearly 6 years from new and had virtually no problems with it. It’s been a great drive and would happily have another one
Pleased to hear it!
Generally they start to go wrong from year seven. lol
On a more serious note. Some classic cars are been going for 50 years plus. After electric car revolution and banning internal combustion, I reckon some folks will stick to what they know, and keep their old motors, however, with the amount plastics and electronics, I'm not sure modern cars are built to last. In fact I think car manufacturers are aiming for their cars to have a expiry date of 5 years or something, like washing machine and fridge factories.
You could break down and rebuild a carburetor or weld a broken manifold on an old car. What could you do with a plastic ones aye?
I just wish good cars stick around.
All the best.
You’re lucky, my dad bought a Range Rover evoque two days ago and the suspension has already broke.
@@alisapavlovica1218 thats why you get warranty on these cars
@@josephshamon7824 he did get warranty, two year warranty but when he went to a Range Rover specialist he found 25 problems with the car after us only having it for two days, yes I have to admit it was second hand but when he bought it the seller said there was not even one problem
The only car reviewer bold enough to admit the Evoque is really a woman's car...
It's very refreshing; this man has balls!
I don’t consider it a woman’s car,I consider a VW bug a woman’s car.
This man is born to do car reviews 🤘🏻💯
He need this own TV show. Easy on the eye too.
I concur!
@@MaximilianvonPinneberg Thats not gonna happen, because he's voicing his mind and he will offend literally everybody, which im fine with.
I agree, my top 3 favorite channel
Ny new favourite 😊
Calling the evoque a coupe is like calling a forklift a mid engined race car.
archechme 😂 Yes quite
Rear steered?
@@doncorleon9 well, yeah. however let's just focus on the mid engined part. it's the only mid engined thing that isn't a car that i could think of
Coupe can mean a lot of things lately
They got away with calling a range rover sport. 😂 what do they call them 4 door saloons with no rear headroom?
I was once lent an Evoque when my car was in for body repairs and I must say it was very good to drive...much better than I’d expected, and more cabin room than anticipated too. Great review as always 👌🏼
Well done as always, I recently had the opportunity of sitting in one couldn't take it out for a test drive as the electronic parking brake failed before we could go anywhere and was stuck on.
The interior is definitely upgraded and feels nice, although for me it was a bit small and I don't think I'd be carrying rear passengers.
I swapped from my old Vogue 4.2 to a td4 2.2 evoque and love it immensely, got all the bells n whistles inc the meridian system and doesnt feel like a womans car to me, 5 stars to land rover for this one :)
As you was driving down the narrow country lane, there was a new shape Evoque, yes they are awesome cars. We had one on a 61 plate when they first came out. Black 5 door with the 2.2L diesel. Kept that car almost 5 years, the best car we ever had.
I am a dad with 3 kids all with car seats and i still watched it ALL the way through. Keep up the good work👍
My 2010 Vogue (L322) has the "sand" interior and Galway Green exterior, it is gorgeous. It is a very good combination indeed !!
Thank u just watched this as am looking at getting one this weekend u made me fall in love with the car even more
Good video mate
It's nice to see these used car reviews , good work 👌🏻
Lovely car to drive, beautiful car to have on your drive. Horrible car to own. I kept mine for just over a year and it cost me just under 3k in repairs.
Bought it privately cash, so no come backs when it started to go wrong.
The two happiest days of having a Range Rover Evoque is the day you buy it and the day you sell it.
Great review - everything you need to know about this car. The two door looks cool!
Brilliant video as always!
Very informative on a down to earth practical real world way
No matter how stressed I feel or what I’m worried about, one of your videos always makes me feel more calm and relaxed, great info once again!
evanmoonunit Thanks. Much appreciated
My Mrs is always on about this car, so you’re comment near the end says it all really.
I would say very smooth and informative review. Keep up the great work. Love watching your reviews. Helped me with my ml320. Love it. Just like he said, everything works well. Thanks.
Great to hear!
Great review!👍🏼
Actual valuable info delivered smoothly. One of the few reviewers that I don't increase speed of the video when watching. Cheers pal.
Kasim Khan Thanks for watching!
Had mine a few months now, 2.2td4 black coupe 2012 pure. Although it is the poverty spec it still has tinted windows, heated seats , air con, adjustable ambient lighting, meridian sound system. Ivory leather interior, electric adjustable seats, parking sensors.
It's my first ever land rover so I was surprised with how firm the ride is but after the recent snow I had a chance to take it out in the untreated back roads in Cumbria and it took it all in its stride. Iv since had it remapped so Although it's the TD4 it equals the SD4 in performance. I only ever use premium fuel, esso supreme or shell vpower. Il easily get 40-45 mpg if driven "sensibly"
I absolutely love it and I'm definitely converted and when I'm ready for a change il be getting another from the land rover range, maybe a disco or newer, higher spec evoque
Another cracking review as usual ,i LOVE the green oval and have driven one of these ,liked it but not for me ,but the amount i see daily on the roads say it is a very popular Landy
Hello again, once more a really to the point review, great. Regards, RichardA.
'So much botox that's it's affected their decision making'. Superb!
sounds good advice i would definitely look into this in more detail when i go for a change car in a few months.
Might be your best review. EVER. ❤️👍🏻
As always... great video. Funny and informative and the vehicle looks good.
I found this to be very informative since I am currently in the market for a new small to mid-sized SUV, which is my preference. I was fortunate to participate in a vehicle survey that was set prior to the introduction of the Evoque in 2011. I fell in love with it's looks then. This video was very helpful! Love your review!
Can you please do a full in detail car history video. Would be so interesting to hear about all your previous personal cars. Great channel 😁
Thanks for a very nice, informative and professional review! Right on!
Thanks!
Hi Matt great video I do quite like the baby Range Rover I was given one as a loan car when my l322 went in for a service and at first i hated it but as the day went on I kept thinking this is a really nice car and at the end of the day was sorry to hand it back great video hope your well best wishes ian.
another fair review i must say i did just about see every model in john lewis's carpark cheadle the other day not many nissan cumquats though ;)
I’ve had my 2016 model since new and not had anything really go wrong with it outside the warranty. Only niggles have been weird, intermittent electrical faults but it’s behaving itself at the moment. A rear camera is essential. I like that I can defrost it without going outside via an app.
Well explained as ever. But hope your not due to go shopping in Alderney Edge this week 🤦♂️
Mine fits loads of shopping in the boot. But then I'm female. The Porsche 911 I got I huge trolley load in thst heap of shit. The Porsche 1 loaf in the boot. 911 on an A plate 24yrs ago. Got rid have discovery. When daddy was a car trader .
Great Review. I will be test driving the Evoque soon. I have had my eye on this vehicle for a while. Love it!👍
..lol...at least your name is male...rofl...
Comes across as more of woman's car with plenty of silly unessesary toys to play with.
This 9 year old Evoque has the features on par with the latest cars of 2020's. This is great review! Now the 2020 model is out, this is good news for us who want to buy the older more affordable Evoque models! 😊
Woman's over priced toy
7:28 I'm sure it'll be quieter if you pop those saggy door seals on both sides back in place.
LOL
That's the air conditioning!
I really enjoy your reviews mate, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Absolutely great review. If I lived within a reasonable distance of your garage and workshop I would certainly buy one knowing that I could rely on you, you gorgeous man, to look after it for me. I would need to find a good LR garage locally before I bought one. Thanks again for the brilliant reviews
I have a 2016 facelift 2.0 diesel with 226'000km. Has been a very nice car. Efficient, comfortable and luxurious for a very reasonable price
What I love the most about is the Meridian 825w surround sound - which kicks B&Os/Burmesters a*s. It also has rear seat entertainment...
I had a top of the range Evoque for almost four years, it was very good, I'd even consider another in the future. I was contemplating a change when the fitted Ford diesel 2.2 crank front engine oil seal failed leaking too much oil on the drive, repair cost £850 so I exchanged it for a BMW M235i. Yes I'd have another only I'd look for a petrol engine one next time.
This is such an honest review and well explained. Thumbs up bro
Tyrone Thanks! I appreciate it
Another excellent review, thank you, a good follow up would be one on a discovery sport, back to back review of what appear to be similar cars.
Very solid review. I would be interested in a future review on one on the pug in hybrid spec Evoques.
Not fussed on the car but love your videos very informative great sense of humour brilliant
Many Thanks, Great Review.
Peace From London. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great review as always Matt. Seems to be loads of Evoques around. Loads of bargains.
Mick
Brilliant honest reviews, keep em coming 👍🏻
Thanks for this. I'm think about it as my new purchase. Not sure which model to go for.. I love the design. I agree with the feel of being cocooned in the cockpit. But that won't put me off. The lack of rear view might though. 🤯
Another superb review, though judging by the space in the back, this looks like a handy truck to have if a) your kids are between 4 and 8, or b) your friends and relatives are pygmies or otherwise vertically challenged, in which case it's to be hoped that the boot comes with a step ladder. Handy I guess as a two seater and you have to drive over leaves occasionally.
Great looking car, we had one for a day when my disco was in for ‘ a little TLC’ however asked for it to be changed to a discovery sport. Unless you are under 5 foot 6 inches it was too cramped inside.
Great review -I've watched a few evoke ones recently. i think I'm going to get the convertible one because of your comments - lol - I guess you're either a convertible person or not - I have only ever had motorcycles and convertibles - the fact that land rover actually built an SUV convertible - unlike any other manufacturers is amazing - and now they've come down to a price where I can nearly afford one :-)
I’ve always liked the Evoque but prefer my FL2. I do think they have perfected the E with the latest iteration though. Great job Land Rover. I’m hanging out to get the new Discovery 90!!!!
I had a 64 plate dynamic a few years ago, the electrics were shocking resulting in a new battery the dealer network let me down badly as it was under warranty it took 6 weeks testing checking and god knows what else before I got a battery, the dealer even advised me not to fit one at my own expense, I offered to pay as it was all very inconvenient as they said it could invalidate my warranty. Also storage in the rear was not ideal there is no hidden storage areas in the sides or underneath the boot floor everything had to be on show I like small items out of sight, I no longer have it now a very expensive mistake buying it and one if I’m honest could only just afford so to not be totally happy was disappointing. I did OK on the trade in though for a new Tucson not as plush but no irritating inconvenient faults. Good video keep them up.
If looking at the 2.0 diesel watch the oil level on the dip stick. If over full this could mean the direct injection is washing past the piston rings and diluting the oil. Not an issue with the 2.2 diesel out of the freelander.
Very happy for finding this channel. :)
Lajos Nagy Thanks for watching
The wife wants me to get one and I really like them but I’ve heard of more issues that what you have said and they were not cheap fixes.
I would love it if these were unfounded, plus there is a host of really good alternatives. X1 and X3 are good but must be due a refurb like the 1and 3 series I also like the X2 well I think I do. The Evoque does have by far the best looks especially in 5 door.
A new one is just outside my range as I do like a good few toys. Other alternatives from most of the manufacturers out there so choosing is difficult.
Good review mate, cheers
Cheers, mate! Enjoy watching your videos.
Glad you like them!
@@HighPeakAutos watching your videos from India. When I come round to England, will buy a car from you 😎
Thump Musician Cool. It’s interesting to hear from viewers all over the world!
As they go on your reviews and camera work are getting better- well done
Cheers
Another out of the box option for the canny second hand buyer absolutely a breath of fresh air have been looking to change my trusty e60 5 series for a year great to have options these are golden years I don’t care what they say
Very good review thanks.
Another good review. Our neighbour - a lady of petite proportions - loves hers and finds it easy to drive so perhaps confirming the stereo type. Interesting dip into the car nerds topic of premium fuels - you might not hear the last of this!
Car to buy wife to look good picking kids up from school.
@@THOMASCOLTON1 yes - a Chelsea tractor compact.
Great review again Matt! Sorry though mate I only saw 50% of it, I was too busy admiring that fantastic scenery! What a Place to be on a day like that!!!
Craig Hill It was a beautiful day! Perfect for filming
Good honest review (as ever). Mine is one of the best, if not the best, cars I've owned, and that's quite a few. Just a shame that nearly all of the LR dealers I've dealt with have been sub-optimal.
I watch these vids all the time and your awesome at reviews .
Thanks! I appreciate it
Mines a 12 plate manual diesel prestige 122k on the clock haldex refub. Bloody love mine.
Hi there; Thank you for another good informative video.
I understand that you were aiming to demonstrate the wind noise in the cabin, but it kind of made it difficult to hear yourself. Maybe I need a hearing aid, but I wonder if a different type of microphone would eliminate the issue.
I hope you take this as a constructive criticism as it aimed to be. Cheers a bunch.
Thanks again for the video.
Nice I’m looking for one of these at the moment good suggestions cheers
No problem 👍
we have 2 evoke dynamic sd45s (his and hers) and love them. touch wood no major problems great cars and great looks..in my opinion ill buy another
Great review!
as always informative and entertaining
An excellent well-balanced review! Just apply to Top Gear already! However, I still think my next car will be the Zoolander 2. Int that worritz called?
Range Rovers across the line are just beautifully styled, inside and out. Hope you WILL review the convertible...only ever seen ONE on the road.
Test drove one in 2013 cause the Mrs wanted one, I don't like the look of them but I did like the way it drove apart from the rear hatch that wouldn't quite shut and an annoying rattle (on a demo!) it seemed well made but the pcp deal was abysmal - bought a top spec CRV for 200 less a month, which apart from the asmatic 2.0 engine was great, in fact we had two. The ridiculous extended service intervals don't help the dpf and if you don't want to pay stupid money for fuel buy some Millers ecomax and add at every tank fill.
excellent review, which model in your opinion should i go for with a 10 - 12k budget
Blending in your local area well with the Evoque ;-) good review as always, I know of someone who’s got the 2WD Evoque and they says it’s fine :)
Love the colour of that Land Rover, used to have a Firebird on that same tone, mint 👌 .
Good review, indeed that is a model for the missus 😉 (ladies love it, guy not so much)🚘.
I will stick with my freelander 2, I love it
I thought this car was just for orange people in Cheshire - I see enough of them driving through Altrincham and Hale en route to Warrington in the morning, and I didn't get why they made a 3 door, but you're right -- the interior is excellent and it looks the business, and the ride height is certainly good. Great review. Not my sort of vehicle, but you're definitely my type of reviewer.
The Evoque for me is far and away the nicest looking (inside and out) car in its class. The interior looks bloody gorgeous and minimalist, which for me is a good thing. Great review, thanks again! 40mpg for me though is a no no, mine averages 60 so that puts me off. Bloody lovely car though.
Another cracking video and it was about a car with a Land Rover badge on it, what’s not to like 👍👍👍
Great video mate 👍
Kyle Cheers
Everytime I have been to my local landrover garage there is always one of these on the deck being worked on your better of getting your money and buy the 1st or 2nd series range rover sport in my opinion, a lad I work with has one it spends more time at Landover Stockport then it does being on the road with him re call after re call after failed parts but it's a land rover so people put up with it
Great video. Watched this just before I brought one. Was an awesome car except the rear suspension was knackered so ended up going back to the dealer. Such a shame as I really liked it. Sold one of my defenders, considering this is more than half the price, its so much nicer 😅
very good explanation
Another great review! Now wheres that gti review? 😉
Great and honest review. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Off course I enjoyed it, its JLR, and very temting as a RRS owner. The idea of all the prestige and luxury fused with the running cost of a four cylinder diesel is a sensible one. PS please, if it so happens that you come across an Jag X type do a review for us.
Good vlog thinking of buying one used of course what model has reversing camera where I stay you need them
Straight forward reviews great channel
Maximus H Thanks
Great review thank you!
No problem!
Another excellent review, never considered this car, freelander just said you were poor or tight but this one did surprise me would I buy one? Only in the top spec and I would drive it in a nice coloured shirt and a cravat
Great review!
Loverly car , but for you and me full size sport or vogue all day !
Great review as I just brought one
Started using v power fuel in my a Jaguar 2.2 diesel. No more def problems, lower emissions at last mot and an improvement in smoothness and mid range power. Better mpg as well. I only use premium fuel in my motorcycles and cars now, no question.
peter norman Im glad you said that because that’s been my experience too. Better MPG and smoother running. It’s short sighted to buy the cheap stuff
Great vid. Thanks. US here but I think I’ll buy one.
Nice review
Just got one recently, absolutely love it!
Enjoy it
High Peak Autos thanks and keep up your excellent videos!
Me too and I'm very happy with the four door petrol model.
@@darren4767 2 years later.... you still enjoy it? I'm considering buying one
Love the videos. I watched your one and the RR sport last night and the evoque today. I'm getting an evoque for the missus now haha.
Lesvosace Haha good choice. Thanks for watching
@@HighPeakAutos the one she wants (is white no surprise) is an ed4 I've heard some opinions that it's worse than the TD4. She does go camping occasionally (doesnt tow a caravan atm but we might want to) in your option would a ed4 be fine or should I keep looking for a TD4?
Lesvosace is the eD4 2 wheel drive like the freelanders? It wouldn’t bother me. There’s less to go wrong and it will be better on fuel
@@HighPeakAutos yea is 2wd ok thanks for shout
@@HighPeakAutos I'd appreciate your opinion on the price if you dont mind. Seems ok subject to the usual inspection and haggling?
