I am curious to know how many of you here would consider buying an Evoque either a primary vehicle or a second car.

It is a very different vehicle to Range Rovers of the past and is not as imposing on the road.

I have one on order for delivery in January and am planning on part exchanging the Vogue SE. My logic is, I do not need a big vehicle, have been very impressed with the wife's Freeloader SD4, the performance is outstanding. Good acceleration and economy. I am expecting the Evoque to be better as it is a lighter vehicle.

So lets see what the poll yields.......... 2018 Range Rover Autobiography
2010 Land Rover Freelander XS
1959 Series II
1950, 1952, 1954. 1955, 1957 Series I
1952 Minerva Ambulance

I have just realised some of you here may already have an Evoque, hopefully a friendly helpful moderator will come along and add that as an option! 2018 Range Rover Autobiography

bottom one for me I am afriad.
Nice car, but not a real Range Rover. FFRR TD6 HSE
Adriatic Blue with Parchment leather.

I haven't voted as the option I want isn't there. I wouldn't buy one because I think they are too small and they look .

bottom for me as its just OK looking on the road and not enough presence

Sorry Claud, not my cup of tea at all but if you like them and want one that's all that really matters isn't it? 12MY Black FF VSE
12MY Orkney Grey HSE Lux RRS

I think you will nee to add....."About to take delivery,saw it, didn't like it then rejected it"

I did consider one but after test driving the car, it is not for me. It's a lovely car. Well made. The size of the car wasn't a huge issue for us.

The nail in the coffin for my wife and I was that the back windows were a bit too small. I have a 4 year old who will happily stare out the window on a long drive. I have gotten this far without having to stick a iPad, iPhone, portable DVD player in my daughter's hands. Paul

Would never consider one because it is too light to tow the caravan.

"it is not a real Range Rover" 2004 black Vogue TD6

All great replies and I am not surprised, we looked at a brand new Vogue up for £72k which would have meant adding at least £45k on top of mine and found it hard to justify, especially when the replacement will be out in 2012.

So we are going with an Evoque, my wife thinks I am mad, but I hope she likes it, she is yet to drive one. I personally would have had a Disco 4 XS 2012 model with the more powerful engine and 7 speed box, but she did not find the seats as comfortable as the Evoque...........

We loved our Disco 3, and the FFRR has been the best car I have ever had, after having a string of Mercs.

Land Rover are not expecting any moves out of a L322 to an Evoque, but some of the forum members may have been tempted by the better economy and smaller size, seems very few have though. I still have until mid January to make my mind up, the dealer has promised my deposit back if we don't like it....... 2018 Range Rover Autobiography

We will probably get one for the wife next time but that will be 2-3yrs away as she only got the ML in April. Shame, they are bloody nice. Discovery 4 HSE
1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF
1982 Series 3 Hard Top

I'd buy one for my wife, but definitely wouldn't drive one - its a womans RR

The daughter test drove one and really liked it , but in the end i got her a Merc ML , far better and higher specced car for £12k less ….. which she loves ….

Have to say tho it is a nice looking car for a Split Arse ….  ====================================

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy
