2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Overview

Is the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque a Good Used SUV?

The Evoque is a solid, balanced SUV capable of going off-roading in the morning and out on the town in the evening. It's available in three- and five-door body styles and features a high-end interior. Its engine is both fuel-efficient and potent. Unfortunately, the Evoque has little cargo room and cramped rear seats – even by subcompact standards – and its sloping roof creates poor outward visibility.

Used 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Performance and Interior

Powering the all-wheel-drive 2015 Range Rover Evoque is a turbocharged, 240-horsepower four-cylinder engine that pumps out plenty of power for maneuvering around slower cars on the highway. Still, the engine can be noisy at speed. The Evoque earns good fuel economy estimates of 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. These numbers are due in part to the Evoque's nine-speed automatic transmission and fuel-conserving engine stop-start system. The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque handles well on most surfaces, offering corner-carving agility on paved roads and composure on off-road courses. It comes standard with a Terrain Response system, which allows you to choose between driving modes (Snow, Mud and Ruts, Sand and Gravel) to tackle most types of tough surfaces.

The 2015 Range Rover Evoque seats five in two rows. With sleek, clean styling and first-rate materials, the 2015 Evoque has one of the most upscale cabins in the class. Its electronically rising shift knob adds to the cabin’s modern aesthetic. However, its appeal is hindered by its sloping roofline, which limits headroom and visibility, making it challenging to back out of driveways and parking spaces. The infotainment touch screen can be slow to respond to your inputs. For connecting child safety seats, the Evoque has complete sets of LATCH anchors in its rear outboard seats and an upper-tether anchor in the rear middle seat. Cargo space is paltry, even for a subcompact SUV, thanks in part to the low roofline. The five-door Evoque has up to 51 cubic feet of cargo space, while the four-door model has a maximum 47.6 cubic feet.

The 2015 Range Rover Evoque comes standard with Bluetooth, two USB ports, an 8-inch touch-screen infotainment system with smartphone integration, and an 11-speaker Meridian audio system. Some used models may include a panoramic sunroof, navigation, and numerous safety features, including a 360-degree camera system.

Should I Consider Another Used Range Rover Evoque?

The 2015 Evoque is a part of the SUV’s first generation, which began with the 2012 model year and includes the 2017 Evoque. The base Pure trim was introduced for 2013. A nine-speed automatic transmission replaced the six-speed automatic for the 2014 model year, and adaptive cruise control became available. Aside from some updates to the available features list, the 2015 Evoque was mostly unchanged, so purchasing a similarly equipped 2014 model instead will likely save you money.

Which Used Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Is Right for Me?

The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is available in several trim levels: Pure, Pure Plus, Pure Premium, Prestige, and Dynamic. Limited-edition Autobiography and Autobiography Dynamic models are available, though not many were produced. Some trims are available in either three- or five-door body styles. All trims but the Autobiography Dynamic come with a turbocharged, 240-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive.

The base Evoque Pure model is only available with five doors. Standard equipment includes suede and partial leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, an 8-inch touch-screen infotainment system, an 11-speaker Meridian surround-sound system, Bluetooth, dual-zone climate control, a rearview camera, parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, and Land Rover's InControl Apps for smartphone integration.

The Evoque Pure Plus trim adds leather upholstery, a power tailgate, a panoramic sunroof, and LED fog lights. The Evoque Pure Premium trim includes navigation, voice recognition, a 17-speaker surround-sound system, a 360-degree camera, adaptive headlights, blind spot and rear cross traffic alerts, and a proximity key. Both trims are available in three- and five-door body styles.

The Evoque Prestige trim can only be found in five-door models. It adds heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, satellite radio, and parallel parking assist. The Evoque Dynamic trim can be found in both three- and five-door styles. It adds an adaptive suspension, skid plates, a sports exhaust, and larger 20-inch wheels.

The Evoque Autobiography has unique interior and exterior styling elements. The Evoque Autobiography Dynamic adds larger brakes, a faster-shifting automatic transmission, and a turbocharged, 285-horsepower four-cylinder engine. Both trims are only available in five-door body styles.

The Evoque's poor predicted reliability score makes a certified pre-owned Evoque an appealing option. For its certified pre-owned vehicles, Land Rover extends the original new-car warranty to seven years or 100,000 miles. Every CPO Land Rover must pass a 165-point inspection. Additional benefits like towing and roadside assistance may be available, so read the Land Rover warranty page carefully.

2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque and Other SUVs to Consider

Which Is Better: 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque or 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport?

The Land Rover Discovery Sport is another luxurious off-road-oriented SUV that comes standard with all-wheel drive and the Terrain Response system. The Discovery Sport is a luxury compact SUV, and its extra cargo space and interior room make it more practical than the Evoque. However, the Discovery Sport's engine produces some turbo lag, and its transmission can be sluggish. The Discovery Sport also gets lower fuel economy estimates than the Evoque.

Which Is Better: 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque or 2015 BMW X1?

The 2015 BMW X1 is a highly ranked luxury subcompact SUV. It delivers a combination of fuel efficiency, agility, and power that makes it one of the best performers in its class. It also has a better projected reliability rating than the Evoque, in addition to its Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Still, the X1 doesn’t come with many standard features, and it has cramped backs seats.
