I just bought a 2012 evoque and IM IN LOVE. I'm a massage therapist though and the massage table goes up to the roof so yeah I wish mine had that rear camera cuz I'm always traveling with my table.
The camera is a great addition, I test drove one of them recently… have 2 kids and constantly have stuff at the back like most families… great addition if you ask me
The rear camera helps when 1. the fifth person blocks the rear view 2. it crammed by my 6-person family camping gear (easily stacked up to roof in my V250d)
Marek, your reviews are setting a new standard. Most in the UK are commercially driven and some reviewers are frankly moronic. You are far from that, so thankyou
PSCavalier 95 I have to say that i would order it without. Everytime I'm in the back I prefer it with the roof closed, even though the windows are tinted. Just at night it looks really amazig watching the stars while driving on the autobahn.
Yep I would like that mirror , I am always loading my car up and can’t see out. I’m fine with just seeing everything through these but a mirror like this for me would be a great help

Even if JLR doesn't have a very responsive infotainment system I like the design of the interface. The icons, the animations, colors it just feels very modern compared to ones from a Porsche or a Maserati. Their UI looks like Android from 2010.

An unfortunate byproduct is that a lot of buyers then miss out.

@@papavictorromeo5079 Furthermore, these lumps of crap are rated as one the most unreliable vehicles to own, according to many customer satisfaction surveys around the world. Rather skip this shit and go for something that will provide true reliable motoring.
Whatta beauty! But 70K is really too much, because you can get pretty well spec Disco 5 for that money, which is far more practical. Great to hear infotainment system is not slow, as all reviewers are saying about latest JLR cars.
I’m 14 years old and my dad just bought me that car for my first car and think is very nice to drive even though I don’t have my drivers license until next year!
Entertainment system crash especially in BT function. What a nightmare that I encountered in DS also. Whow can JLR not solve this issue it impact on driving safety.
The rear view camera is brilliant, the fact you dont think so makes me question the value of your overall opinion. It could be that you are older and innovation or technology is challenging for you. Not sure
As I said, I've driven cars with no central rear view mirror, and I didn't find them particularly challenging. IMO this mirror camera business is just a gimmick. But if you find it useful, there's your USP.
I chose the Evoque over an X1 - the Evoque feels more special and is more comfortable as a motorway cruiser. The BMW handles better, but has a firmer ride and for me these cars aren't really meant to be sporty..... The 2021 Evoque has an impreoved infotainment system - mine has worked faultlessly (so far....)
Land Rover/Range Rover cars are generally overpriced by about 15 to 20% compared to rivals in the UK. Frankly, they have so many models that end up in the £50,000 to £70,000 mark after specifying a few extras that others provide as standard, that they tend to cannibalise sales from their own brand rather than from rivals. It is a massive issue of mismanagement and lack of product planning. Even so, I love their vehicles and have put down a dealer deposit on the forthcoming LR 'Defender'. Hoping for delivery by next March. If I don't like it I could always buy a Discovery Sport or Discovery5 instead.
O see couple of new evoques in dealership before few days and must say that only high spec look great but i think i sow basic or low spec and nothing special about look. If you want to buy this car in right look you must have lot of money.
I think the new Evoque looks very slick and will age very well. It just looks great without even trying - classic minimalism.. But other than that, I'm not sure what this offers over a Q5 or X3. I get exterior dimensions say it's a X1, Q3 competitor but it has very generous interior dimensions because of it's transverse engine packaging and it's price puts it up against the X3... even the Porsche Macan. As for that rearview mirror design, wait until you have some fat headed friend of your child sitting in the middle rear seat Marek.... hypothetically of course ;) Thanks for the review Marek!
Hopefully the world is coming to the realisation that hybrid and all electric cars isn't the solution some are portraying it to be. 10 years of development and the addition of a mild hybrid system has resulted in an increase in fuel consumption, and a heavier and more expensive car. Pity you can't specify it without all that crap and save yourself a few quid!
@Tomasz Wojciechowski What a strange reply. No car has that. My suggestion to Marek was to include child seats in the review, like Alex on Autos has done in the past. Thus broaden the audience for Marek's channel.
I had hoped Land Rover/ Range Rover might've gone bust by now. Alas! It appears we have to put up a little longer with these hopelessly overpriced, badly made and pretentious monstrosities clogging up British roads.
Old Man of the Woods spot on, the Emperors new clothes comes to mind, looks good on the outside , but underneath lurks an ugly experience for anyone stupid enough to buy one. But after 70 years LR have at last managed to make bodies that don't rot away so fast.

Best look front and rear - Perfection
I prefer the rear taillights from the previous generation but yes the front looks beautiful!
Sure, I would need the rear camera shown in mirror, because it's hard to see when the rear seats full of passenger and block the sight
yup, or full of boxes or luggage
or if you are med-large dog owner , when my dog is in the back trunk i can not see anything in my 2014 evoque
or if you were towing -and can check the load
So what you do then is.. use the side mirrors... many thousands of vans are on the roads that do this with no issues whatsoever
Was hearing more negative than positive on this video. I love this car
The rear camera is one of the best features. I didn’t think I’d like to but now I’ve had the car for a few months I love that feature
The rear camera is one of the best features.
I have the original 2011/2012 Prestige and yes, I have fully loaded the cargo deck in a number of occasions. That mirror would be cool.
The camera is a great addition, I test drove one of them recently… have 2 kids and constantly have stuff at the back like most families… great addition if you ask me
Very elegent from outside and inside. As for price, you get what you pay for!
Definitely would need that camera when driving super lengthy moving vans. Would have been useful. Then again, a reversing camera would suffice.
The rear camera helps when
1. the fifth person blocks the rear view
2. it crammed by my 6-person family camping gear (easily stacked up to roof in my V250d)
Yeah..the rear view mirror camera is most important thing..it gives you a clear & larger view..that's pretty cool.
Marek, your reviews are setting a new standard. Most in the UK are commercially driven and some reviewers are frankly moronic. You are far from that, so thankyou
I think the Evoque is better with the Panoramic Sunroof as it is Claustrophobic in the rear.
Very true, didn't have the budget to splurge on the sunroof but definitely, wish I did.
PSCavalier 95 I have to say that i would order it without. Everytime I'm in the back I prefer it with the roof closed, even though the windows are tinted. Just at night it looks really amazig watching the stars while driving on the autobahn.
I NEED THE MIRROR I've gone on so many road trips where our luggage has blocked my view or we have had to put some in a friends car
Yes Marek. I need that mirror.
I’ve had two so far and think they’re great....
What a fantastic car ❤ so much better looking than the competition
I would like this rear camera-mirror for sure..... Single family car used for rear passengers quite offten
I often fill the boot up for fam holidays in our X5 so the rear view mirror camera is a good idea! 👍ask any busy family with kids...same answer 😂
Fair enough. I never load up any car like that. Also I'm used to driving panel vans, so I can do without the central rear view mirror.
Yep I would like that mirror , I am always loading my car up and can’t see out. I’m fine with just seeing everything through these but a mirror like this for me would be a great help
Also yea! I’m super into the mirror. Not just for boxes! For heads too.
I really like this new range rover avoque is awesome and the interior is nice although I was waiting for some light effects.
The camera rear view mirror is a great idea for those with tunnel vision. The back pillars in the rear restrict the view of the outside.
Yes plse. I have a 2015 model. Love it.

Wow, nice model, the rich will pay
Love ur camera angles
I definitely use my rear view camera.
I love the car in everything

Android auto only works if you use a compatible USB cable. Use the OEM one from your phone.
Android Auto works in most other cars with whatever cable I have on me.
Camera mirrors are really use full.
Best looking small SUV but people including me buy German rivals because everyone says how bad JLRs reliability is.

I actually like the rear view mirror like that! There’s always something blocking the back, my stroller always seems to block my view.
USB ports in the rear are optional, very premium. NOT!
On the contrary: the more options, the more premium :)

Does anyone know what the new EIGER GRAY color looks like? I have not seen any photos or reports
Love my Evogue.
Gorgeous inside and out but reliability issue is hard to forget Great review btw
Bro why sound so
Monotone? Almost sound robotic... get excited a little!!
It looks great but the price doesn't make sense. Besides, the infotainment isn't efficient and reliable. :(
Whatta beauty! But 70K is really too much, because you can get pretty well spec Disco 5 for that money, which is far more practical.
Great to hear infotainment system is not slow, as all reviewers are saying about latest JLR cars.
This double screen infotainment is OK, but the single screen like in the updated Jaguar F-Pace or newish LRDS may still be slow.
Mileage??????

same! just ordered my 2020 evoque but hoping in a few years they'll at least have a hybrid option.

The steering wheel does look huge!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is it a reliable car ??
I defiantly need it
The vehicle is perfect. Not meant for poor people like the test driver on this vid.
Good car
The rear camera is genius if, like me, you have the back seats folded down and a massive dog in the back blocking your vision.

Hi.
What is the exterior color
Seoul Pearl Silver Metallic
What do u think about the color
@@nameerhamadeh5726 Indus silver was a touch better I think. Shame they take colours away.
I need that.🤗
I love range Rover

Are adaptive dampers noisy?
Can be, and often times are.
@@MarekDrives can you give me some examples. In a 5 series VDC is noisier than standard suspension? Thanks.

You pay extra to prove that you can afford RR's "reliability" :-)
Apple CarPlay?
I don't know. I don't have an iPhone.
With the new software, that you can update yourself via wifi, you have apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
They should have installed a ..Toyota or Lexus hybrid system in there! But..no something so cheap!
Of course you need a mirror.
Of course, he isn’t stupid. He was saying the screen Pratt isn’t.

Cat amongst the pigeons, some keep telling me its a car designed for women not men, who agrees ?
It’s still not a velar

Simple ...!👍
The car looks good, just too bad about everything else.
I love it but I am using android phone
Still think skoda kodiaq better and cheapr and offers more USEFUL
Amazingly negative report! Almost laughable! What a dreadful car, you might think! Not.
