Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

The Evoque is more about style than function and ends up being frustrating on several levels. For example, the turbo four-cylinder has a pronounced initial delay when accelerating from a rolling stop, with power then coming on abruptly. This makes it tricky to drive smoothly. The ride is too stiff, fuel economy is among the worst in its class, and outward visibility is hampered by thick roof pillars and small side windows. Controls are too complicated and distracting. The front seats are comfortable and supportive, but tall passengers will find the rear seat snug.
