Not in the USA and haven't bought a magazine in years.
Beautiful looking Land Rover Evoque too bad anything fron Land Rover is so unreliable you may as well be your own auto mechanic
This SUV is 10 years old! Genuinely surprised how good it looks, well done mate, no wonder Mum is happy.
I owned a 2013 Evoque, had it for 5 years. It was faultless, only cost was 4 new tyres. Depreciation was £3,000 pa over 5 years. Loved it, and much prefer it to my current BMW X1.
nearly bought an X1 but found too many have cloth seats not many secondhand Bmw x1 with leather, my wife really loved the looks of the evoque but I was always concerned with reliability but I also loved the look of the exterior and interior. I bought an 2018 and love it but had a noisy engine ( I thought it was a normal noise for the evoque) turned out to be balance shaft issue and had a problem with the right side drive shaft bearing, luckily all fixed under warranty, fingers crossed for the future lol, but to be honest love the car, how you finding the X1
What was insurance like dude
@@SunnyDarkoShow about £350 p.a. with Aviva.
I am impressed that the fact this RR has stood the test of time so far. A lot better than I thought.
You can't call that a range rover.... Closer to a corsa
@@captainkidd1811 greatly insulted
@@Sudstah True though😆
I’m driving this car for 3 year now and absolutely love it. Only do yearly MOT
Ive had my 2.2 63 plate (manual) for 5 years, and get 35 mpg on short runs and 45-50 on a motorway and longer runs. Its been the most reliable vehicle I have ever had.
Just watched this. As usual, amusing and informative. And scary.
I guess I am spoilt. I have owned a 2012 Honda Jazz (yes - I am an OAP) for 9 years , do all my own maintenance. NOTHING has gone wrong - apart from consumable items like brakes and wipers. And tyres.
Annual running costs about 17p/mile. Not your £1.
But then I was brought up in Aberdeen!
Keep up the videos - always entertaining and educational...
You cant beat the Jazz. They're great cars
I love my Honda Jazz! Nothing goes wrong. No nasty bills. Fuel consumption according to the computer, varies between 47 & 75 mpg. Easy to drive, easy to park.
😂😂
You're comparing two slices of white bread, no butter, with a single thin slice of Tesco's ham between them with a Dutch Crunch roll spread unsparingly with Kerrygold filled with rotisserie chicken, lettuce, tomato, onion, and the finest condiment of your choosing. One is only worth 17p... Sure they'll both keep you alive, but in the case of the ham atrocity, why would you want to be? ;)
@@allanmoger1838 At that point could've compared Evoque to a bicycle. No costs whatsoever, no fuel or even oil to top up. No pesky MOTs or road tax. Infinite range and fresh air all the time!
The hilarious part of reading these comments is people saying things like: "I had one on lease and never had any problems." Uhhhh no, really? No problems on a car less than 4 years old?? Wow! That's incredible. Stop the press!
Thanks for your really useful contribution.
You prob buying banger cars, that’s why you have so much issues😂
Muppet
@@collyb6054funny though
Hilarious part is reading comments of people who probably can’t even afford one or have never had one talking about reliability and how bad they are🤡
Slick shirt Matt, well done. The MPG to l / 100km conversion is also much appreciated
Thank you!
Do it yourself simple maths
Those mods really make a difference, looks a nice motor. Thanks again Matt
£282 for a reverse camera is outrageous! In fact, parts for cars generally are outrageous. It's some garbage 480p camera, worth about £20-40.
I agree, plus they're all deliberately expensive to buy new too, so that equals more lock in deals and thus debt.
saying that I don't think the camera would of been at fault just the wiring loom
@@ady1234ukYeah, if the wiring loom needed replacing as well, think I’d start with that and see how things went.
Great looking car, and I think the cosmetic changes not only adds extra value it modernises the look so giving the impression it’s only a few years old.
I totally agree!
My wife bought one new in 2018 , it hasn't missed a beat its now on 40k miles ....Great car
The reversing camera is typical! We're on our 4th in 4 years! 3 under warranty and one we paid for! We seem to average aroun 7.4 L per 100 Km on Russian diesel, which isn't the best because big when we get European diesel in it, we get 6.4 L/100Km As you always point out? If you look after your vehicle, it will look after you! After 4 years of ownership? 🤔 It's a brilliant purchase!
Pleased to hear it - apart from the reverse camera issue obviously :)
Buy a better car....SIMPLES!
🤭🤭 Spoke too soon! The 4 wheel drive abilities have been disabled just now! Another electronic malfunction... 🤣🥴🤣 A shut down for 20 minutes and a reboot fixed it! The other strange thing mind is that were on our 4th heated windscreen? Suseptible to cracked screens?
My Mum bought a 2011 Evoque ‘coupe’ ,Dynamic Lux with the 2.0 petrol engine, last month. It’s fully loaded with all the extras like blind spot monitor. The day we got it, one of the front cameras stopped working and needed to be replaced. It also needs a new battery at some point but other than that, it’s a really nice car. It is thirsty though😬 it only really gets driven around town and it’s returning 18 MPG. Great video Matt.
The scenery is so beautiful where you live! I might just move to England because of these videos.
We're an overpopulated island. Maybe move to bigger less populated countries.
@@EinkOLED depends in what part of the island you live. It’s not too bad here in Scotland, I’m just about to move to Angus in the east, at the foot of the Angus glens, 10 hills over 3000 ft high, gorgeous views, half an acre garden, detached bungalow with double garage, for the price of an Aylesbury 2 bed terrace… middle of nowhere, but within half an hour of Dundee with two Universities and a college, quality jobs and the sunniest part of Scotland with rainfall on a par with South East England, it’s worth a look, especially if you can work from home. Hailing from Bucks, the countryside is similar, apart from the mountains and the traffic is obviously a lot lighter. Bob.
That's because he lives in the countryside. Most of the UK is full of horrid towns like Scunthorpe and Luton
@@t8506 ouch, you’re wrong of course, apart from Luton and Scunthorpe, of course, lol!…….Stoke on Trent could do with an upgrade, too!
@Uncle Gilbert well said!
Treat myself to a new RR every couple of years, the comfiest and best driving position ever but feel I need to move it on every couple of years.
I've had 3 Evoque's, the first was a 2012 Pure with a 7 speed auto box and 2.2 turbo diesel engine (184hp).
That averaged in three years 32.5mpg.
We part exchanged it 3 years later for a new, Dynamic 2.2 turbo diesel (184hp) (so same engine as the first but this time a 9 speed auto box).
That averaged in 6 years 35.4 mpg.
I've recently changed it for a 2021 model which now uses a 2.00 Ingenium turbo diesel engine (200hp) with a bolt on electric motor (mild hybrid they call it - I call it pandering to Brussells to tick a box but there we are).
That too has the 9 speed auto box.
So far, we're getting an average of 39.5mpg.
Our driving is mainly to & from the village (2 miles each way daily), twice a week to the local town (18 mile round trip and once to twice a month longer motorway drives (anything from 20 miles to 400 driving up to Durham).
That puts the average above 40mpg for the 2021 car - it improved the others by about a mile or so.
Problems.
Apart from tyre's and servicing - nothing at all with the first.
The second had an intermittent problem at around 5 years ownership with the radio controls on the steering wheel - a software update helped but didn't cure it.
It also had the same lock issue on the drivers door that yours did - cost about the same to fix. When we part exchanged it this year, the passenger door lock had also failed and there was a loose bit of trim that a 10p clip would cure - yes I did confess it!
The new one has had a JLR recall to replace a hose and unsurprisingly nothing else.
Which did I prefer..?
The pure was lovely, the Dynamic was slightly more harsh / firmer / noisy on the road but they did have different brands of tyres (Pirelli - Michelin) and the suspension on the Dynamic was that fancy active stuff.
Both of the early models were great cars to live with but I cannot get over how far they've moved the new models on in terms of comfort and refinement - they're lovely to drive.
I'd have another in a heartbeat.
I like them too. Glad you’ve had mainly positive experiences
Thanks for the information.This is just the car I was thinking getting to replace my 2012 Citroen DS5.
I unfortunately was put off by a number of bad reliability videos. I think I will now reconsider. (Red is a great colour)
, now I will reconsider love the Red colour.
Good appraisal. Surprised but not shocked at the mpg. My L320 does about 18 around the streets but late 30’ on our 300 mile trip to Cornwall. Had it for 10 years, happy with that. They don’t have to be massively expensive but they don’t last forever.
2:55 to be honest Matt, I know so little about cars that whenever I check the tyre pressures I think I’m Ed China! 😂👍
😂 haha love that
Enjoyable as ever.
As a comparison point, I just sold my 17 year old passat estate at 153,000 miles, bought new in 2005. Total costs 40p/mile. That cost covers depreciation 10p, road tax 2p, insurance 3p, fuel 15p (today's prices), repairs/servicing/tyres 10p. Err, I have a new(er) passat now, and it's vastly better than the old one.
You know, I really don’t get why people say jlr products are the most unreliable because as you are just proving, this is just normal wear for a car this age. This car is in amazing condition and I know for a fact, it is my mums dream car too
I used to work at JLR and trust me, most aren't as good as the ones he has come across. I was on first name basis with some customers within a couple of weeks! That's being said, no manufacturer is perfect but the horror stories from JLR will always outweigh the good ones
I agree!
Its because they are extremely unreliable. Ive had a few Jags and lets just say things go wrong that wouldnt go wrong on the average german competitor, especially at lower mileage
The engine is from Peugeot... probably why.
@@khalidacosta7133 oy!! my peugeot 407 sw is still a happy girl at 162,000 miles.. Sat nav is still showing what our roads looked like in 2009.. No complaints here!! 😁
What a salesman! Your readly spiel was brilliant! I normally fast forward sponsored garb but you kept me watching!! So well done!! Jag XJ sport....opinion?
When mine went for its first mot with 28000 on the clock Marshall Land Rover wanted £3000 to get it through. “Genuine Land Rover air in the tyres sir”
After telling them not to piss in my pocket and tell me it’s raining. It got considerably cheaper.
Love the car though.
They can try it on like that - as can all manufacturers
Lol 😆 lol 😆 hilarious.
Mistake No1. You went to the stealership.
my evoque is flawless for 5 years and i never had a breakdown, even though i drive it hard. love it, and love ur videos more
Pleased to hear it
8:30 - I predicted you were gonna say that a mile away and still laughed lol
Haha predictability at its best :)
It looks great in Firenze Red, and your cosmetic mods do look much better.
Other then normal maintenance items, only a passenger door lock and RVC.
That’s a great result for any 10 yr old car.
Glad your Mum is loving her Evoque. 🚗 💥 💨
Great review (as ever) Matt. I love my Evoque: great bit of kit. Fuel consumption should be much better, though. I get 30-35 overall but about 40 on a long run. Best get yours looked at.
After a recent trip to spain its increased to 34 on a run. Still not great
Just done a 2-hour motorway run at steady 70. Returned 43.4mpg. 🙂
I’m thinking about getting one.. has your car had any problems?
Fuel economy has never been Land Rovers strong point but similarly, if you want to drive about in a heavy 4x4, your gonna pay for it. My Freelander 2, with the same 2.2 SD4 engine but with a 6 speed box, I’m averaging around the 29 mark but then it is now shod with mud terrain tyres. On the reliability front, it’s excellent. It’s a 2012 model and in the 18 months I’ve had it, it’s NEVER broken down. My brother in laws 15 plate L200 however, now it’s had a new dpf, new egr, new water pump and thermostat, seems to be working quite well now
That’s brilliant. My L322 2011 4.4 TDV8 has had one alternator…and that’s it, in nearly 2 years. These really aren’t the horrible unreliable beasts that some people believe they are. I love them
I had one on a four year lease, did around 12k miles per year and it went back with the same tyres it came with.
Other than service costs (non JLR which the leaseco said was OK using genuine JLR approved parts) it didn’t stand me a penny.
It was a very impressive motor.
Thats good going
@J Scott
Hi mate, XLCR leasing, they are in Colne from memory.
@@collyb6054 Buy a car you can afford with cash. What's up with everyone leasing cars they cannot afford?
It was leased through my business not a personal lease.
So you didn’t even pay for fuel? Didn’t cost you a penny then? So you’re opinion is invalid you muppet😂
Fuel consumption seems to be the main gripe about the Evoke. A friend told me that using a more expensive synthetic oil, like Castrol Edge has helped.
Probably more to do with the weight of the oil, a heavier (or thicker) oil will reduce mpg.
I've had my 2019MY Evoque from new. 105k miles currently. Zero issues. Average 45mpg (2 Ltr Ingenium engine). It's a keeper for me.
Have you had any issues with timing chain? I'm looking to purchase one but not sure if I should go for 2.0 or 2.2? Cheers
@@gar3140Not so far. It’s going in for a service soon so I’ll update you after that.
We had a Freelander 2 auto with the SD4 engine. We could get mid 40s mpg on a run and 30 ish around town. It's the same underneath as your Evoque I think. So you ought to be getting better mpg. Hardly anything went wrong in 7 years - DPF sensor and rear shock absorber. We used it for towing also.
Thats very good going
The Evoque is basically a Freelander in a pretty frock. I have an SD4 Freelander & I get about 30mpg. I do drive it quite hard & I tow a lot. 😬
It could be the fuel program needs an update, it fixed my 16 mpg on the 2.0T motor to well over 22 - 25 mpg. We went from fueling up daily to every three to 4 days with how much we drive.
That economy is definitely suspect. Most common cause is thermostats are stuck open. Check coolant temperature whilst on a run, anything under 88° and you need new stats. Replaced them on every diesel ive had and fixed the mpg issue.
I pick up a 2012 Evoque Pure 2.2 with 97,000 tomorrow. This video is great. If the costs like that I'll be a happy man.
Becoming a big fan of the channel. Proper reviews with proper cars. Great stuff.
Thanks! Enjoy
How was it?
Nice motor and review. I bought my 146,000 mile 2011 golf estate in July 2019, one bulb (£1.50) on this years MOT, no other costs in two years except fuel and £20 a year road tax.
Have you not serviced it?
Love the colour...needed a V12 option I reckon.
Bit too much for an evouque if you ask me
Hahah A nice V6 wouldve been good
@@HighPeakAutos exactly my thoughts too. A 2.5 V6 in Diesel and Petrol would have given a true RR feeling
I’m not being funny but 2 grand in 4k miles and they’re not as bad as everyone makes out?? 😂 I could stomach the fuel costs if it sounded nice, had some poke, and put a smile on my face but not for a 2.2 tdi. You haven’t convinced me yet of JLR’s merits..😂👍🏻
@@HighPeakAutos I've gone from a straight 6, 3 litre, non-turbo BMW to a 2 litre 4 pot turbo Ingenium DS, and really miss the effortless power of the former. MPG is almost identical too, with the DS being slightly worse at between 28 and 30 mpg of mixed driving. Car has only completed 1200 miles since new, so may improve a little when mileage increases. But clearly the DS is a much heavier car with the 4wd anchors!
Your Mum is a lucky lady. Well done Matt another informative and honest video.
Thank you
Economy improved with the 9 speed auto and again with the ingenium engine. The 2.2 is the older, but we’ll proven, PSA/Ford unit. Best I saw with a 2.2 on the motorway was 38.
Fuel consumption is bad because for around town... it weighs 1.7 tonnes. On the motorway, it is a flying breezeblock, with a drag coefficient of 0.35 (Most saloons of that period were 0.26 or lower)
My Father achieved 39MPG with 2.2 and 9 speed auto.
9 speed auto?, I thought they were 8 speed, pretty sure my XF was 8 speed
Brought my ff l322 4 months ago after biting the bullet after watching ur videos. Running like a dream no probs what's so ever .normally change my car every yr through boredom. But loving the rr and everybody who goes in like the stuff in it . Cant think other another car to have to replace in the future apart from a newer model.keep up the great vids.
Well done! Enjoy it. I’m the same. I usually get bored every few months but I’ve had my L405 RR for 18 months now and I’ve got no desire to change
You really need to include depreciation for a true cost, however as prices have gone mad that probably means the true running costs were about a tenner for the year 😂
Or will make a massive profit 😂
My Father had a 2015 Range Rover Evoque which he sold in 2017 and it had the broken door lock and the gear box went into limp mode once due to a software glitch. All fixed under warranty. He did achieve 39MPG out of the 2.2L SD4 190PS.
Fuel consumption apart, not bad for a Tata.
Ha ha said the clown
Relax little pleb
We have 2013 ED4 Evoque (manual) for 4 years now on Irish roads and no regret of buying it so far despite of a bit thirsty 2.2TDI engine (6.8L/100km). I do service myself and only two issues we had are instrument cluster speaker is broken ( living with it as whole cluster needs to be replaced) and both rear doors central locks and windows became un-operational after flat car battery we had (left lights on in airport parking;). The fix was to re-seat two fuses responsible for rear door modules. And still using original Varta car battery :) So this car overall is indeed cheap to run :)
It's not a real range rover you have.... They are basically big corsas.... Its manual etc.... I've got real one so hate how people compare these to a range rover
Mums still loving it! That’s the main thing 🥰 nice update Matt, great intel for prospective buyers 👍🏻
Yeah she loves it! Thanks for watching
My wife had an Evoque as a company car, a 66 plate from new. We expected the worst with it being a Land Rover product and I can honestly say in 5 years and 72000 miles it was absolutely faultless, and we abused it, why wouldn't we, it was a company car ?. Yes it went through tyres and brakes but you would have consumables to replace on any car. Some small things that were annoying, 1. Fuel tank was too small for long journeys, less than 400 mile range. 2. The boot was next to useless as it was tiny, but apart from that it was a good allrounder!
The cost for the next 12 month's will be less than the first 12 month's, as some of the items that you paid for should last a few years before being replaced again (hopefully). 👍😀
Thats what I was counting on to be honest. Should be half that I reckon :)
More will go wrong though
"some of the items that you paid for should last a few years before being replaced again"
- I've used that logic on many occasions, only for everything else to still have to be replaced.
Well there's the kiss of death :)
Botneck That's some weird logic. Is that how Land Rover owners cope month to month? "These things broke this year therefore nothing else will until these same things break again."
Would never believe the age. Did the same sort of upgrades to my xf, same outcome. EDD would be proud 👏.
It looks like a 5 year old car in my opinion. Cheers :)
Always had a soft spot for the Evoque. Good thing Land Rover put the LRX concept into production 😁
From all the feedback sites and stats the Range Rovers are the most unreliable cars in the world and will spend more time in the workshop than in your garage! BUT……the RR range it’s still the most iconic car around and most want one!
Why? 🤔
"Haven't recorded every tank fill up because......I have a life" 🤣🤣
Sad but I do note ever every fill up 😉
I always check the mpg with brim to brim fills, I can’t help it, it’s an awful habit, but it shows how inaccurate car computers can be.
I do the same, have every fill up document for all three of my cars. I'm a little obsessive that way. :)
Sorry meant to say documented in a app
@@JonathanPopZAR my documentation goes further than the car I log all purchases.
Information includes date, price & where it was was bought.
Maybe I was accountant in a passed life 😁
It's good to know I'm not the only one out there David, you definitely must have been an accountant in your previous life 😂
You can get a rear taillight/brake light replacement for that rear tailgate strip from powerful uk!
There are two types of reverse camera, one dirt cheap and one expensive.
The Evoque is really good car for wear and tear in comparison to full size range rovers, 2wd diesel Evoque will get over 40mpg easily. Let’s face it, most will never go off road so 2wd is more than up to it.
Never buy the expensive diesel or petrol for an old engine. She’ll tried it in the 1980’s and yes it did clean off carbon, problem was on older engines that buggered them up. Ok from new but never on an old engine, the carbon is stopping it knocking.
£1 a mile is just ridiculously expensive and that doesn't even factor in depreciation costs which I imagine are huge. And insurance.
Thanks for the video, it's confirmed to me I'm right to stick to my little Citroen!
Drove this Evoque for around 7 years. Without any troubles. Loved this car. Love my new green bulldog (New Defender 90) a litte bit more :-))
only someone with range-rover-itus could think paying 600 to repair a reverse camera isn’t too bad :-D
i say it as the owner of an l322 that i love like a third child… 😛
i’m trying to talk the wife into getting one of these tbh, or maybe the discovery sport which i like more so, but i think i have more chance of convincing her on the evoque.
I know what you mean Dave, I have a 2010 L322 and even though it mugs my wallet on a regular basis, I flippin adore the damn thing
Yeah a friend bought a 7yr old range rover, hes a mechanic and thought he could dix anything.
1350 quid to repair the handbrake, 800 quid to replace a sensor that required engine out, then the crank split in two towing a caravan ..6500 to replace the engine.
He sold it and said ..never..ever again.
Have the top of the range dynamic lux with all the extras, TV, the lot in this colour, 20" wheels, coloured bumpers etc! Anyways, quite literally all iv done....is out diesel into it the past 2 years! Actually iv put 2 tyres on it! So literally zero issues and alot of fun/driving! Highly recommend!
Nice review Matt, very informative and just shows you can improve the look of a vehicle for not much money (without go faster stripes 😁)
Hi there the car looks great ,but the 20mph isn't great for a diesel,but I'm glad your mum still loves it ...cheers Phil
Great video, I love seeing the real world experiences you don't see on other car channels. I think it's interesting seeing this so soon after your Jaguar F-Pace video, particularly hearing your comments about fuel efficiency as they both use a 2.2 litre diesel.
In my mind, if I'm going for a good size SUV for mixed town / motorway, then the F-Pace looks better, reportedly handles great, has about the same reputation on the reliability scale, and is more efficient.
Does this offer anything the F-Pace or E-Pace doesn't?
Your a gem…..thank you for the ukprotints plug….but of course I did it for free when it was your mums birthday gift 😊😊
Thank you :)
I like my 2017 a lot, but to be fair, the rear diff controller has had to be replaced, the tailgate modified by a recall and the software updated to make it slightly better than crashware - it's still not great. Petrol MPG is actually not too bad for the weight at about 25 MPG. I painted the window trim again as the window trim fades horribly in the sun, but for $300 it looks great now (California problems). Other than that it's been fine. After a quick calculation I think it costs me about $1 per mile in the US, which isn't bad for the class of car at all. Service prices at the dealer are stupid so don't do that, the service parts aren't that bad though. All in all I like it a lot.
Someone did try to push it down the road by the front bumper (someone else parked like a douche and the Evoque looked like the softer option apparently) and they failed. It wouldn't budge, but the bumper cover and paint cost the insurance company $3300. :|
Ive never had ANY issues with my Range Rovers just religiously service them as fall due and use premium diesel. Good as gold. Beautiful to drive 👌
Pleased to hear it
The Range Rover Evoque goes in the cool section of my cool board.
Are you a hairdresser?
Sorry 😁
@@ph8077 I’m not.
@@DaveDVideoMaker do you want to be a hairdresser?? Just asking.
@@Dumdum888888 No.
hi matt. just bought one ! 66 plate td4 se 62000 miles 4wd all leather interior paid 16,495 ADORE IT ! 6 speed manual.
Great video , I would have thought you'd get more mpg out of the 2.2 Sd4 than that , my old Freelander 2 Sd4 with the same engine would do 30/32 on local running about and 46/48 on a run . Some nice little additions too which make it look better 👍
Yeah my FL2 SD4 does the same
I had a 7 speed and a 9 speed Evoque and got 32 /35 mpg on average.
I agree about the FL2. Mine does about the same.
T_T I miss my Freelander 2.
Thanks mate for sharing both videos your mum’s birthday present surprise was priceless 😉❤️
I always liked the look of the Evoque and in this color it's very pretty. It's very unfortunate that they didn't really put a decent engine in that car. It was going to be an awesome package with the V6 diesel engine.
V6 would never fit. Would be too heavy. 2.2 makes 210bhp in the top spec model. Plenty for the wife to drive badly round town with.
@@WelcomeToRapture08 All of it's competitors from the BMW X3 to the Audi Q5 offer six cylinder engines and they are coping pretty good with that extra weight. It's just weird that they thought that the car didn't needed a bigger engine to be more competitive.
I agree with you. I wish they'd offered more petrol engines. A nice V6 wouldve been the one I would go for
@@georgimihalkov4781The Evoque is basically a Freelander. It's limited by its transverse mounted engine / gearbox. The room for the big engine just isn't there. The German competitors all build these vehicles with a North / South arrangement. More options.
None of this actually matters. The sort of person who 'wants' an evoque would buy one if it came with a 40cc briggs and Stratton. These people don't know what a cylinder is. Only the colour and interior matter.
@@WelcomeToRapture08
Errrr, I've had 3 and served my time at Rolls Royce Derby - I'd like to think I'm not thick - thanks.
Was never really into the evoque but the new shape has changed my mind
am not hairdresser but i really like evoque with two door
this are most reliable range rover
Lool
Honestly, I have had a number of land rovers. Had pretty much the range. Never had real issues with them provide u service when due . They my first 4x4 choice. Currently driving E-Pace only because of a deal I can’t refuse.
MPG should be better…may be worth checking EGR valve / intake clean etc. MAF sensors are also a common cause of poor MPG. My old Freelander averaged high 20’s and 45 plus on a run. Also may be worth fitting a pre-heater if you intend to keep it for another couple of years….not sure that’s worthwhile with regards to cost.
Sorry but there poor on diesel.
If it's the 2.2 engine, I am guessing it's the old transit engine, if it is I was getting about 34mpg in my 13 plate XF, which I thought was a bit rubbish, my XE on a 17 plate is doing around 50mpg according to the computer, although I don't think it's as well made as the XF.
My Peugeot 3008, now 5 yers old is 1.5 diesel with 8 speed auto. Has the same toys as the Evoque but average ps over 50 mpg in daily driving and well over 60 mpg on motorways speeds.
The fuel economy is a joke and painful to hear. I've got big 330GT that averages 32mpg around town and 52 mpg on the motorway so JLR don't seem to but very refined or efficient engines in the Evoke.
That 2.2 diesel is a Peugeot HDi engine.... the engine itself is economical. Whatever JLR did to it though... that's another question entirely or maybe it's down to being a car with the aero of a flying breeze block?
Been there andrew had evoque fuel economy not good at all keep what you have nice moter
The most valuable from all what you told about the car is that you'd made such a great present for your mom! Alone the fact shows me, that you're a good son. Anything else is not so much important.
Thank you!
So true indeed!
Could egr valves be slightly blocked or dpf for poor mpg?
The firenza red needs a black roof
Poor mpg? - it ain’t a Nissan Micra.
It it’s not now, it won’t be long only doing 4,000 miles around town a year!
Great 12 month follow up video. Covered everything.
I'm truly shocked to hear about the MPG...how can it be so bad?? Do you find that you get better mpg with VPower diesel and does it offset the extra cost per litre? i've switched from normal unleaded to super (just supermarket or wholesaler super, i'm too tight for VPower) and it seems to be offsetting. Although I'm somewhat curious as to how the new regular E10 will run.
I'm genuinely not sure. It mainly drives around town though which never helps
Fuel consumption is bad because for around town... it weighs 1.7 tonnes. On the motorway, it is a flying breezeblock, with a drag coefficient of 0.35 (Most saloons of that period were 0.26 or lower)

Then there's a 15 year old RAV4 petrol which cost nothing over the last 12 months.
We have a RAV4, the model of reliability, but you’ve gotta admit the dash and plastics are really awful! In my experience the CRV is so much better to drive on a day to day basis. No denying the awesome reliability, the lack of corrosion and still super shiny paperwork. Ours is a 2007 XTR, it’d be interesting to try the next version to see if the interior is a lot better, if not I’d be tempted to go back to the CRV. Try one, you might like it.
@@itsallrobbish I have had them in all mk's upto.the mk4 hybrid and I have to say yeah the interior it's never gonna be at the standard of German or Land rover SUV but it's definitely better than the previous versions of RAV4 .
I would buy the Mk5 which is an even better interior but I'm going down the CHR route.
I have had the old HRV and CRV 2007 and a 2014 model and yeah marginally a better place to be than the RAV4 I'd agree.
I've just done a mileage check on the 7 year old manual diesel Evoque I've bought.. Actual miles covered from tank fill to tank fill/litres used/4.5459 to convert to gallons - not the trip computer - gave 45 mpg combined with quite a bit of up and down gradients. The Land Rover handbook claims combined consumption is 4.8lt/100km = 58.7 mpg. That's some discrepancy. The tests must have been done on absolutely flat roads on a windless day in a stripped-down vehicle with special fuel additives.
Surely that fuel consumption figure can't be normal, unless your Mum's a getaway driver😂. Be interesting to know what consumption other owners with the same engine are getting.
I drive a sd4 freelander 2013 same chassis and engine basically, that did 35mpg on a run at 20, 25mpg if you speed dropped below 50mph
Very much depends on how they are used. I had a Hyundai Tucson, new model, 2.0 diesel with 180 bhp or so, all the toys and the 4 mile run to work struggled to hit 30 mpg driving like miss daisy. BMW 335d gt and now Jag XF 3.0S both get better MPG.
@@retepyam5858 You're never going to get good mpg from a diesel on just a 4 mile run. I've had several diesels and funnily enough, the most powerful (Merc SLK 250, 204 bhp) gave me the best average figure of 52 mpg. Even my old Alfa GT diesel gave 38mpg and I drove that quite hard. 20mpg from a diesel is totally unacceptable - my 1974 Capri did more than that!🤣
Ive had 5 Range Rovers over the years spent a ton of money on them but still love them
trying to get my wife one of these!
I’d a 2014 Firenze red black pack evoque that needed a £2k steering rack and a £3k Turbo all in one go. Sold it as soon as it was repaired. Crazy maintenance costs for me.
Nice car but still need a minimum salary around 2000-2500$ a month to own car like this I guess ?
Yep unless you have 0 bills
I suppose so yes. There are certainly cheaper cars to run
How much does it cost to run an evoque?
Eleventy billion dollars
@@_stoatchaser only if you're doing it on the cheap and skimping
I’m thinking about getting a 2018 Evoque currently saving money to purchase one 😊 I think they are really nice looking vehicles I hope I will have good luck with it and experience 💯
That's all the evidence you need for online shopping and a taxi.
That Evoke looks as good as new. Replacing the grey trim with black gloss trim really works well. Gotta be careful Matt, you'll be turning your channel into Wheeler Dealers. 😃👍
Lease if you really want range rover/ land rover.
We had a 2015 Evoque. at 68MPH it was possible to get 58MPG! our biggest bug bear was the standard of service from RR, out local dealer was fantastic. in 2021 we were pulling out out driveway onto the A1 in northumberland and the Steering Rack Snapped (common problem on these and Disco sports, due to a manufacturing fault that RR will pay to repair regardless of age or mileage), we also had issues with door actuators and door indicator lights. However the off road and ability of the car makes the problems insignificant. We also had to regularly do a Regen 15 miles at 2500 rpm. I'm looking at a 2020 or so for a driving school car as I'm sick of having to pay for chiropractor for my hurt neck and sore back because of the pot holes in Edinburgh! £1 per mile for me would be £30K lol
Sounds a lot of money to me out of my wages for only 4000 miles a year ... plus depression on top of that
Hope you feel better soon x
2011 mondeo diesel 2l 146k miles drives perfect average mpg 44 over 50 on long journey needed a battery and wire boke to a flap in front of radiator.Great car reliable.
Just buy a used Suzuki Vitara 1.4 turbo 4grip cheap to run, fast, bullet proof reliable and economical.
Yes, boringly so. ;-)
@@rafflesnh nothing wrong with boringly reliable. But if people want to spend their hard earned cash on a bloated over rated vehicle thats up to them. At least they have a nice interior to stroke, what with all that luxury expensive plastic whilst they wait for the recovery truck 🤣!!
@@mariojager43 I find your reasoning to be as dull and predictable as your choice of car. Having the last word is also probably hard wired into your sense of insecurity, so please be my guest. ;-)
@@rafflesnh you've just done what you've accused me of. Just saying 😂
If she still has it you should do a follow up piece here, including current value and insurance cost…unless she is on yours…
My old volvo s60 cost me more in parts and services. Thats 16 years old thou
I'm situated in South africa, I am driving freelander 2.2 sd4 2013 face-lift. I bought it 2019 with 130k km now is on 180k km. Think that went wrong ( rear door latche or mechanism, crack shaft seal was leaking) then I decided to do major service on 165k kms (timing belt, water pump, rear /front discs and brakes,) that's all still running like a charm. I know this evoque is similar engine with my freelander so please change waterpump and timing belt. I wil also flash the transmission fluid
That’s good advice
Let’s face it everyone who buys one of these is doing so as a fashion statement not for any practical reasons they are not the best in any class !! Basically terrible but Tracy wants one 🙄🙄
I disagree. They're the most capable off road. Stylish. Have a nice interior and pleasant to drive
Terrible is a Tiguan/X1/X3, not a fashion statement and also incompetent, dull and inept in their intended sector - truly Milli Vanilli in the SUV world and crap to boot, even Tracy would steer clear or perhaps more, be in the distance ‘off road’ in arguably one of the best looking cars out there that has great design and is fit for purpose (not that 98% are used as such)
@@willwonka1325 The Tiguan is a pretty ok car
My dads on his 4th Evoque now (2 first gen, 2 current gen) so we are well acquainted with them. He had the door lock issue on his 2014 car only it was the back passenger door. People are quick to say how unreliable they are but he’s had hardly any bother with any of them bar small niggly bits which you could have with any car. The SD4 was by far the torquiest and but the Ingeniums are more economical.
Pleased to hear it. People are too quick to slag off JLR in my opinion. They're great cars
The door locks are pretty easy to replace, just £100 plus a go…keyless entry ones are more expensive.
Having 4 over a period is hardly grounds for expressing experience of reliability. Were they bought new each time?
@@DiscoFang Only the current one was, the first two were 3 years old and the last one was a year old.
