We have been running one of these for 5 months. The interior experience is terrific- premium quality. We have an electric sunroof which is fabulous but probably best avoided if you are tall. Fuel economy so far is 75+ mpg (mainly short journeys). Ride quality is good and super quiet over all road types. Accelerates like a scalded cat. The 3 cylinder is very refined and seamlessly cuts in and out. We have a Podpoint charger which schedules charging in the middle of the night at low rate. Very impressed so far with this product.
Dumb question but what happens when you do not charge the electric motor? My dealer says you still get 309HP total and 109HP from the electric motor, but that doesn't make any sense. What happens when you don't charge the electric motor, does it still give any boost?
@@thejudgeholden Why doesn't it make sense? The engine should be able to charge it to a level that can still provide acceleration boost, as acceleration is an occasional event, engine has ample time to charge the battery in between the cruise and stops. This is how non-plug in hybrids work.
Basically the same drive system as my BMW 330e, I had it two years now and get an actual 130 mpg because I am running on electric 75% of the time. I'm very happy with it.
We have enjoyed a model just like the one in the video for 6 months. We are very happy. Good quality, comfortable, quiet, and at legal speeds it consumes little. Congratulations on the video. Greetings from Galicia.
Three full size Range Rovers, one RR Sport SVR, three Evoques and one Defender later and we’ve had one starter motor fail on the 2010 Range Rover. Don’t know if, speaking from actual experience, I’d call that “too unreliable”.
To Many people claiming LR's and RR's are unreliable have never actually owned one. Have you noticed, its always a mate, or a guy down the pub who has had nothing but trouble ? 😂😂😂. On a foot note, I owned a Freelander 1, 2.0 TD4, which i had for 8 Years, no major issues, only your normal wear and tear items. Infact, the only real issue with the landy 1, was seized glow plugs in the Engine, and guess what ? That engine was the BMW engine. I now own a Freelander 2, 2.2 TD4, which i have had for 5 years, again, no major Issues.
I'm interested in buying a new Evoque as I'm been very happy with my, now 7 year old, Evoque. I'm inclined to buy the P300E but I need to understand what I can expect on MPG for a journey of say 120 miles on mix of A and motorway roads. Any guidance?
...It comes with an engine but if you want that engine to have an air and oil filter, you have to pay £1350 extra. It comes with wheels but if you want them attached to the car, you have to pay an extra £650..
"Good short runs"... but not on the motorway. At speeds, you use the electrons too fast. Plug use best for in-city driving. When you hit the freeway ramp, shut it off and use the hybrid engine until you are off.
Great reviews. Thanks. I’d just ordered one yesterday. I’m promised to be delivered by the end of June. Can’t wait to give it a go, my first Land Rover!
I hired a PHEV a few weeks ago, a Skoda Octavia estate. While I realise it's not quite the same thing, but by comparison it took 5 hours to charge from empty and ran for about 35 miles at motorway speeds before going on to petrol. Most times I came off the gas it would put a little more into the battery, as it did every time I braked. So much so that when I went into the services after 120 miles it went back onto battery until I went back onto the motorway. When we got to the ferry there was enough electrickery to get us on and off the boat. Transition from battery to ICE was almost seamless. Doubtless VW and Audi will be better still. If the Evoque wants to compete, RR needs to up its game.
Now if the infosystem doesn't keep resetting or the top screen going blank then I would be very happy with my p300e autobiography. However when you are paying serious money for these cars, this is not what you would expect. Oh and if you start the car whilst still on charge, then you cannot switch it off without unplugging and then switching off.
I have the p300e and had this blank screen also happening once which is annoying, but i have to tell you that the expensive rivals BMW 7 series, Audi RS6, wich cost way more money all have problems with their infotainment resetting.
Based on the amount of luxury cars I see on the road, 95% of the UK's population are richer than me. I have no idea how so many people can afford these 50k+ machines
I think the electric Ford Galaxy will be a better option for many; looks like it’s not far off being released… there are similar variants within the group in the USA already. I have extensively compared the current IC Galaxy and evoque and much prefer the Galaxy.
If you're thinking of buying one remember that the world electronic chip shortage is seriously delaying production. I've been told by the dealer not to expect a new car to be delivered this year, and they are consequently selling recent used cars for over list for a new one.
The quote "It will hold on its value better than all of its rivals" but also mention that it has poor reliability issue. That itself doesn't make sense who would want to buy it at higher price once its 3 years unlimited mileage warranty is over>?
6:10 *I have one and use it to nip to the Local ALDI or ASDA both around 2 miles away two or three times a week, and am getting over 26,000 mpg - is this a record ?*
Interesting. If only doing short journeys then yes a good idea but most people go out of town. How are LR going to get away from diesels ? Really ? They don’t seem to have any idea of an overall economical alternative.
I own one of these The aesthetics and design fantastic But I can honestly say I have multitude of issues from beginning to now 16,000 miles in. I still have on going issues. 1st issue the diesel gasket was leaking fumes into cabin this was literally on delivery had car less then 24 hours 2nd issue had to return dealer as rear window would not close 3rd issue pro touch duo screen system Both screen going blank or jitter non stop meaning no control of there sat nav, driving setting and climate control etc. Been back to the dealer numerous times told it was a issue update. Sometimes indicators were no indicating sound etc Returned to dealer numerous occasions they realised this was a wiring issue. Next issue the stop start no longer functions Going back to dealer again soon. There few aspect that annoyed me For the price your paying for I was surprised there no wireless charging especially. Other similar car brands has this as standard.
What about all the problems with the EV?? so many people including myself have this after a few months, even when forcing EV as soon as the car hits 15mph it goes back to engine, JLR seem to be at a loss when fixing and tell different people different stuff! my story is too long to go into but be very wary of this search some forums ...... whats the point in PH when it doesnt allow you to use EV when you call for it!
Cannot see a 360 degree camera on latest spec or an option which is disappointing, can anyone confirm speed of onboard charger? Cannot see it on their site.
(P300 AWD AUTOMATIC PHEV). My local dealer is saying I would get to benefit near 309hp even I do not charge the electric motor. Is there any truth to this? How does an electric motor generate additional power if it has run out of charge? I'm hoping to buy an Evoque model soon and I would appreciate any assitance regarding my enquiry.
Myself, my parents and my partner are all dedicated LandRover owners, the one rule we've all learned about LR ownership is that warranty is paramount. Most vehicles never miss a beat, but it seems the ones that left the factory on Friday afternoons are doomed. Any niggles early on are precursors for relentless major faults.
@@johnmalin1676 I owned 2 x RR Sports, very handsome, powerful, comfortable…well all boxes ticked however under warranty so wasn’t worried…sold them before the warranty expired. Loved the product & still do. However no, wouldn’t get one outta warranty no. 👍🏻
@@cubworx7397 in all honesty I had them for such a short length of time I can’t really say. No I didn’t however all of the blogs, statistics don’t lie, they are complicated machines so I wouldn’t want one out of warranty.
Also looking for mpg in layman’s terms. I received the following email response below but i just don’t understand. They aren’t able to give me the mpg for the fuel alone: We have just the combined figure for the MPG for our plug in hybrids.

the interior and styling is great, but land rover should really make a pure electric car , this hybrid stuff is just so middle class drivers feel sanctimonius when trundling around notting hill. it would also improve their appalling reliablity record. if you are paying over 50 grand for a car, worrying about breakdowns shouldnt be an issue.
Either way what's the point of a Land Rover for just town? Actually what's the point in general unless you live in the countryside! Notice how I didn't mention its reliability!!
Did you know the Word "Evoke" in Peruvian means "Tends to be a bit temperamental in the reliability department" and that's why Landrover decided to spell it "Evoque" which in Swahili means "Lets hope they don't notice.
JLR's appalling reliability record is enough to put me off. There are many better (more reliable) PHEVs available for significantly less money. Kia Niro will get my money.
After 2 Evoques and no issues I think the issues are isolated. If you are considering comparing a Kia then you aren’t related at all to the RR target market. We could all save money and eat at Mac Donald’s but some of us prefer to spend extra and enjoy a restaurant.
Too unreliable to own. Lovely as it is, all JLR cars are just too badly made. I know the new MD wants to beef up the qc, but haven't they all? If you want to go into the wild in style and comfort take a Range Rover. If you want to come back take a Toyota! Or practically anything else. Regards
Say's another guy who has probably never owned one, but knows someone who had one, or read all the bad reviews from Toyota /BMW/Audi owners who also have never owned one 😂😂😂😂
@@johnmalin1676 Hi there John. I took over my mothers Landrover in 1976, my first car. It was continually causing issues. Which as a young chap I just couldn't afford the continual repair bills. I eventually abandoned it in London in 1985, when it wouldn't start, I come from Wales . In 1991, I had a brand new top of the range Range Rover, this is what put me off them. On it's first day out, my then girlfriend opened the passenger door, which dropped about half an inch, and couldn't be lifted back into place. It continually leaked in heavy rain not from the door, some where else, never found, so the carpets had to be dried the seats went moldy etc. The electrics were awful, constantly telling me I had break failure, when there was none. The brakes glazed however, but nothing to do with the hazard lights. I was driving from London to my farm in Wales when a plastic bush in the gearbox(!!!) melted. Thousands of minor issues, and rust within about 18 to 24 months. Little or no help, or care from the dealership. Sold for monster loss. Finally, when I bought the farm where I live now (2005), it came with a long wheel base landrover. I gave it to one of the builders working here at the time. As far as I know it still doesn't run. My experience of most of JLR's output is fantastic world beating designs, put together to a standard akin to 1970s Eastern European levels, ala say, Lada. Sorry John, but my level of frustration with that Range Rover, also the lack of care from the dealer has put me off for life. The saddest thing is that JLR, and their dealers are well aware this is the case. They continue to promise that it's all in the past and they'll get it right this time, but they never do. Now there's a new chap in charge making the same banal pledges. It's all hot air. If they do ever get build quality under control they should have a guarantee like Kia or is it Hyundai 100,000 miles etc in place. But they'll never be able to. Finally I have an old BMW it's been hammered for 225,000 miles. It just starting to show it's age. I'd like to replace it with a Lexus but think they're ugly! What ever I get it won't be JLR, I've heard their empty promises too many times. Kind regards P
@@phillipchadwick8269 Your Comparing Apples and pares. Most 90's cars rusted and had reliability issues, + If the door dropped like you claim, and it was brand new, why didn't you have it repared under warranty ? In the 90's, i had a Volvo 360, and that leaked like a sieve.
@@johnmalin1676 John I'm sorry to hear about your Volvo. I'm not sure you're absolutely right about 90s cars being unreliable and prone to rust. The Range was a replacement for a Porsche I had wiped out on ice, hitting both sides of the crash barriers on a motorway in Gloucestershire! Hence wanting 4 wheel drive. But that was bomb proof, no issues at all.The Range spent most of its 1st year in the dealers garage being fixed. At the time I had sales agents all over the uk and was driving 30,000ish miles a year. One of the dealers mechanics came to me at one point saying " you do realise these cars aren't meant to do a big mileage!!! At that point it had only done about 45000 miles. But the issue I have is the noises coming out of JLR are the same today as then, ie we accept qc was a problem but we're getting it right from now on....I believe their build quality to be institutionally dire. If their product is now so wonderfully reliable, why don't they match the verbage with a guarantee like other manufacturers at less than half the price? Regards P
Hi in all this hurry to go electric I'm surprized that car manufacturers can put there billions into reducing the tail pipe emissions,or r they just jumping on the ev bandwagon ?
they're only stopping the sale of new ICE cars so you'll be seeing hybrids well into the 2030s. In fact I can almost guarantee that our 2018 golf diesel will still be running by then
It's not the manufacturers being "allowed" but the various international agencies forcing them. It's well known that they are meaningless in absolute terms (so why don't the agencies have more "real world" data?) but they do give a reasonable comparison.
For those purchased as company cars that ain't a problem! In fact, because the depreciation is so good on the Evoque it makes it more affordable than any other rival (and I mean proper rivals like the XC40/60, X3, Q5)
@@John_Leaver diesel is being pulled out for many reasons. The sooner it's behind us the better. Diesel has it's place in industry. Just shouldn't be for domestic users. Any true car journalist recommending it for anything other than commercial use needs to have a word with themselves.
@@topcat4265 A modern Euro 6 or above diesel is a fairly clean and highly economical source of power especially for medium and large cars. Diesel has the highest energy density of any fuel. The only place where I would not recommend one is for short stop start journeys, where a petrol, hybrid or even a pure EV would be better. I used to have a Prius which I bought for a 60 mile round stop start mixed urban / semi urban commute. For that purpose it was ideal, but it was as satisfying as driving a washing machine. When I stopped having to do that, I bought a Euro 6 diesel. 1800 rpm at 80 mph and over 60 mpg, coupled with lots of low down torque is ideal. Horses for courses really. These days it depends on your driving profile as to what is the best option.
@@fraser7744 I think you missing the point. Just because something is convenient, cheap or easy doesn't make it right. The amount of people who develope respiratory problems directly to do with tailpipe emissions is unacceptable. Mass adoption of EVs/hydrogen cars has to be aggressively accelerated. In the modern day petrol hybrids should have very few use cases if any. I accept this burden should be on government yes but
@@H.K_R yeah and steering wheels are screens too, central consoles are also screens and door trims are screens. When will people understand that companies are putting so much piano black plastics because it's CHEAP!

Finally, when I bought the farm where I live now (2005), it came with a long wheel base landrover. I gave it to one of the builders working here at the time. As far as I know it still doesn't run. My experience of most of JLR's output is fantastic world beating designs, put together to a standard akin to 1970s Eastern European levels, ala say, Lada. Sorry John, but my level of frustration with that Range Rover, also the lack of care from the dealer has put me off for life. The saddest thing is that JLR, and their dealers are well aware this is the case. They continue to promise that it's all in the past and they'll get it right this time, but they never do. Now there's a new chap in charge making the same banal pledges. It's all hot air. If they do ever get build quality under control they should have a guarantee like Kia or is it Hyundai 100,000 miles etc in place. But they'll never be able to. Finally I have an old BMW it's been hammered for 225,000 miles. It just starting to show it's age. I'd like to replace it with a Lexus but think they're ugly! What ever I get it won't be JLR, I've heard their empty promises too many times. Kind regards P
@@phillipchadwick8269 Your Comparing Apples and pares. Most 90's cars rusted and had reliability issues, + If the door dropped like you claim, and it was brand new, why didn't you have it repared under warranty ? In the 90's, i had a Volvo 360, and that leaked like a sieve.
@@johnmalin1676 John I'm sorry to hear about your Volvo. I'm not sure you're absolutely right about 90s cars being unreliable and prone to rust. The Range was a replacement for a Porsche I had wiped out on ice, hitting both sides of the crash barriers on a motorway in Gloucestershire! Hence wanting 4 wheel drive. But that was bomb proof, no issues at all.The Range spent most of its 1st year in the dealers garage being fixed. At the time I had sales agents all over the uk and was driving 30,000ish miles a year. One of the dealers mechanics came to me at one point saying " you do realise these cars aren't meant to do a big mileage!!! At that point it had only done about 45000 miles.
But the issue I have is the noises coming out of JLR are the same today as then, ie we accept qc was a problem but we're getting it right from now on....I believe their build quality to be institutionally dire. If their product is now so wonderfully reliable, why don't they match the verbage with a guarantee like other manufacturers at less than half the price? Regards P
1976 - gee that’s an updated view?! I’ve had 2 Evoques and never had a moments issue

Hi in all this hurry to go electric I'm surprized that car manufacturers can put there billions into reducing the tail pipe emissions,or r they just jumping on the ev bandwagon ?
Wouldn't have a plug in hybrid
50 grand!!!???
£50k for such limited ev range 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Definitely should have been full EV
omg a vegan eucalyptus leather?! YES! yay! omg i'm so excited to get one now! i really hate leather
*Looks great, shame to think it will be crushed in 2030 !*
they're only stopping the sale of new ICE cars so you'll be seeing hybrids well into the 2030s. In fact I can almost guarantee that our 2018 golf diesel will still be running by then
I have no idea why anyone would purchase or even lease a JLR product given their abysmal reliability and dependability.
How many have you had?
@@andyhunt457 none, but my parents keep buying them, the idiots.
I’ve had 2 over 8 years and never had any issues. The reliability mud throwing is getting old!
How are manufacturers allowed to quote these nonsense figures
It's not the manufacturers being "allowed" but the various international agencies forcing them. It's well known that they are meaningless in absolute terms (so why don't the agencies have more "real world" data?) but they do give a reasonable comparison.

It's 2021 and he recommended diesel ( for long journeys) that's awful advice. The depreciation will be horrific. I
For those purchased as company cars that ain't a problem! In fact, because the depreciation is so good on the Evoque it makes it more affordable than any other rival (and I mean proper rivals like the XC40/60, X3, Q5)
@@John_Leaver diesel is being pulled out for many reasons. The sooner it's behind us the better.
Diesel has it's place in industry. Just shouldn't be for domestic users.
Any true car journalist recommending it for anything other than commercial use needs to have a word with themselves.
@@topcat4265 A modern Euro 6 or above diesel is a fairly clean and highly economical source of power especially for medium and large cars. Diesel has the highest energy density of any fuel. The only place where I would not recommend one is for short stop start journeys, where a petrol, hybrid or even a pure EV would be better. I used to have a Prius which I bought for a 60 mile round stop start mixed urban / semi urban commute. For that purpose it was ideal, but it was as satisfying as driving a washing machine. When I stopped having to do that, I bought a Euro 6 diesel. 1800 rpm at 80 mph and over 60 mpg, coupled with lots of low down torque is ideal. Horses for courses really. These days it depends on your driving profile as to what is the best option.
@@fraser7744 I think you missing the point. Just because something is convenient, cheap or easy doesn't make it right. The amount of people who develope respiratory problems directly to do with tailpipe emissions is unacceptable. Mass adoption of EVs/hydrogen cars has to be aggressively accelerated. In the modern day petrol hybrids should have very few use cases if any.
I accept this burden should be on government yes but
My condolences. 😂
When a reviewer starts with a fantastic car at the beginning, that's where viewers generally skip and move on. Terrible review.

Brilliant interior? Nagh they can keep their piano black!
Obviously this car specked to how LR like it, but all of the screens are black because that’s what screen are.
@@H.K_R yeah and steering wheels are screens too, central consoles are also screens and door trims are screens. When will people understand that companies are putting so much piano black plastics because it's CHEAP!
@@ian2183 The door trims and centre console can be trimmed a wood finish (if your 40-80) or a carbon fibre one (if your 18-30)
@@H.K_R yes you may be right. But the steering wheel cant. Also the quality of land rover isn't the best.
Idk maybe it's just not really my car :/
what a waste of money !
