I have a 2012 and I have not a single problem. I have a silver 2 dr coupe (loaded) and I can't say anything bad about it. My oil change at the RR Dealer was $112. I put ceramic brakes on mine myself, I changed the cabin filter myself. I take it in every 6 months for a checkup and and oil change (synthetic), they tell me every time this is one of the best maintained evoques they service. They called me last week seeing if I wanted to trade it. Of course I said NO!
I have drove my LR2 from 40,000 to 195,000 miles and now they found shavings in the oil.. it still drives like the day I bought it. I have had 2 major issues with the differential that was under warranty.
I would pay money to see this guy live with an original Defender or a Series, for a month! It might even make a man out of him!!!!!!! It will add new meaning to the word 'rugged' and 'bouncy' ride for him 🗿 🛠
Also range rovers have great warranties. So take it to Land Rover and get these petty problems fixed. Even if it didn’t have the warranty, take a break from buying $200 jeans and get these problems fixed
I had a brand new dynamic, three years of nothing but problems, got rid of the pile of crap.as the guy is saying the build quality is rubbish, it was a Financial disaster!!
I drive Évoque 2016 aswell and have already 100.000 km without any problems, The Car is Great 👍🏽 the warrenty of the garage will help you fix everything anyway
So far I have not had a single problem that you reported here since I had owned it since 2013. Even running on 19 inch 235/50/R19 it’s pretty quiet. Yes, Ride is slightly on the firm side more on dynamic mode but it’s designed for high speed stability. Incredibly stable even at 220kmh that I have not seen on any other SUVs other than the Porsche Cayman only.
I have the same windshield strip problem with my facelifted evoque but the warranty got it fixed for free. The suspension and door lock had issued and were fixed by warranty as well. Tyre noise and bumpy ride are fair comments.
I have a 2012 Evoque with 153,000 miles and have none of those issues lol She's been great for the amount of miles i've drained her with in 5 years I've owned it. 62k when I bought it used.
We have a 2013 Evoque with 193k miles and none of those issues. We have had it serviced on its regular and normal intervals and it has been a great thing to drive and we will keep driving it for many years to come.
Your rover is clearly not a 2016. You have the old headlights/rear lights for they upgraded the body design in 2016. So it clearly is older. So it must be out of warranty or you would know your warranty is 4 yrs or 50,000 miles. So you wouldn’t be driving around with that stuff being broken & could be repaired. Also with the lift gate could need a simple reset & could be fine. Now the trim.... that could be an issue. But that can happen on any model or make of vehicle. The rough shifting is also due to your not running premium fuel in it which will make it shift hard. Plus sounds like you need a software update on the engine as well which they do if you call & see if there have been updates you may need especially if your vehicle is no longer under warranty. Maybe do some maintenance & home work before the time spent on something you should be trading in if you hate it that much. Just sayin..... 😊
Man I love you for taking the time to post this reply.. NO homo.. Its like people take the slightest opportunity to bash the brand just to get some views, likes and comment..
Also, the trim/rubber seal is a tiny issue that can be easily fixed. The power liftgate is just the hydraulic struts not working and they can be replaced for $100ish each
At first I thought this video was petty and seemed like you were complaining about small trivia things...but I have one and I agree.

Thanks for the video
That’s not a 2016, it was redesigned in 2016 and that is the old one, and over a year ago we got a 2017 Evoque and it has been incredibly reliable and has never had any of these problems.

Amazingly i just bought an Evoque 2016 and now i realised that i have most of these problems in the car and may be the reason the seller sold it. I never owned a Range Rover before so i never noticed while purchasing. I do prefer my Audi Q5 over this car in all aspects. Problems I have 1- Camera System Fault (i figured out why bcos its a design fault. there is no water drain in the camera assembly. so i drilled 3 holes now should be fine in future and i have to replace the camera. 2- Tailgate does not lift i never knew it should. lol 3- Driver door hinge mechanism was faulty i replaced it. and God know how many i havent figured out yet.
I have a 2014 SD4 and I have driven it 80'000 kms. Never had a better car (and I have owned Mercs, Audis and BMWs). I checked it out from the dealership four years ago and it just works according to spec. The only thing that has happened to me is that it went into an engine safety mode once but after a software update the problem was gone. I also had a problem unlocking the car with the key pod but i turned out that the key battery needed replacement :-)
I just traded in my 2013 evoque. I bought it used in 2017. I loved the car but that thing was in the shop every 6 to 8 months. My turbo went out twice. $4100 each time to replace. My alternator went out two weeks ago. That cost $1600. My infotainment system also had issues with glitching. Had to have a software update which cost $160. Maybe mine had gremlins or maybe it's the brand. Do your homework before you buy one or you'll be spending money to keep it running.
Just wondering, what symptoms did your car have in relation to the turbo problem? I have a 2015, and just started to hesitate on and off when accelerating. Is this a serious problem?
The engines in the older 2012 evoque is actually a Eco boost engine produced by ford and also the transmission is produced by Ford So you're most likely going to have a good reliability
I have this car for 4 years now and in the last year it starting playing up badly. Apart from comfortable seats and loud good speakers everything else is not reliable.
I totally agree we had the new 2018 evoque and it was so uncomfortable..in the back..Terrible hard suspension...they offered us an off road experience...who wants to go when there's one thing you forget to mention...because of the glass roof they couldn't put hand grabs on the roof of the car when you go over bumps etc . So what good is it off road nothing to hold onto...I got rid of my new one within the first year of buying it...never buy another...overated...a piece of scrap metal for me xxx...you hit the nail on the head xxx
I got a call from Land Rover maintenance today. They informed me that i need a new engine. My Range Rover Evoque is a 2014 with less than 65k miles. We need to press for a class action lawsuit.
I had the 2016 evoque 2.0l Diesel at 60k miles do not have any of those issues , handles beautifully ride smooth as a lexus car excellent diesel engine smooth and quiet. No faults if you are after a luxury compact suv this will be the one to buy.
It's a bugger when the battery in your doorlock remote lasts longer than the actual car.... There a heap of shit, I for one am very sorry I bought a new one.
I have a 2016 fully loaded Evoque Dynamic plus with black pack and it's a superb car. Oh, and yours doesn't look like a 2016 model to me either. Maybe I should do a video on how good mine is lol.
My 2011 has 300k miles and still drive like brand new, i drive it across the USA every year. Never seen a mechanic shop. I would replace the engine in my garage the day my current one goes under. The body style will never go out of style
Stop blaming LR... U must go to workshop.... Every car needs a proper care and it's pretty clear you have failed to do so.... As far as car is concerned I have evoque ...so I now abt the car.
I've bought a 2014 evoque with 19k on it certified from the dealer and its been by far the worst thing i have ever owned. Engine has been replaced, tranmission has been replaced, diff started leaking at 40k and the NEW engine started leaking at cooler at 45k. Lift gate was fixed around 20k too. The exterior and interior quality is crap. The range rover lettering just started peeling at 46k. This is a vehicle thats garaged most of the day and gets hand washed on weekends. Now there is a knock coming out of the rear suspension and since its dropped out of the factory warranty and is only under the certification they want me to pay 250 every time i take it in to take a guess at what the issue is. I have owned 15+ cars and still own an Audi and a Lexus and they both are 30 times the car this thing is. I complained to Land Rover Jaguer about all of this and they truly amazed me at how much they dont care. They offered good will money and took it off the table since i didnt accept it right away (my grandma was at the hospital and i had to travel - she also passed during that time which i explained to them) And on my last call i discovered that they started a complaint with BBB on my behalf and most likely screwed that up too. I never gave them permission. Garbage vehicles and garbage company. Dont waste your time and money
We are about to sell our 2013 Evoque Prestige Premium and have a 2022 Evoque R-Dynamic ES on order. The 2013 has been the most reliable worry free vehicle I've ever owned, we live in Alaska, so very harsh conditions. 79,500 miles to date and still a fantastic rig, the 17 speaker Meridian sound system is still awesome too.
JaySmitty33 exactly, my Autobiography has done only 12k miles , I have many small intermittent faults and a noisy rear diff. Car is out of warranty in 2 months time .An extended warranty costs £850 per yr thereafter . JLR dealerships are thieves and liars.
Unfortunately, soon to be your worst nightmare!! I purchased a 2015 Range Rover evoque in 2014 (brand new). While it is now the year 2020 January, I have had 3 turbo replacements (should have been recalled!) and now looking at $3400 for the cam shaft/ timing chain that has now gone bad. While this car "looks" good, it's not worth the money spent (55k and some change)! All you have to do is go to the dealership and see how many brand new cars are sitting in the bay waiting to be serviced. :( It's sad!
My 2015 Honda hrv 1.6 diesel did 175,000 miles in 4 years without a single breakdown or issue, in under 18 months my Evoque 2.0 diesel is back with The dealer for the 5th time and has only done 62,000 miles, the brand new Evoque I got 1 week ago now won’t start and has under 1000 miles on it, I wish you could buy the Evoque with a Honda Engine
thank you for the opinion! I saw that problem with raining inside the car on a Doug's review video on Range Rover. that's a shame, because is a really good looking car.
The quality of this car I knew it longtime ago, I like the design but still no confident to purchase one, if you really want it you may sign contract to lease one but do not owe one, three years later please return it by the end of the learning contract back to dealer.
I've had the sun glass holder problem before. turns out, the sunglasses in there got a bit jammed. Took a bit of fiddling with it but we eventually got it working again!
Wow, every car requires you to take care of it. Get those little little little things fixed. Personally, my rule is if it has engine or transmission problems, then get rid of it, but everything else- FIX it until the fixes start affecting RELIABILITY. If I have to question the reliability, then I gotta get rid of it.
I hate seeing people drop so much money on those unreliable fancy cars! You can blame nobody, but yourself my friend! Next time you'll be much better off buying a plain Subaru Forester with cloth seats....you're gonna love it!
Pete The Master maybe not everyone likes those plain and boring cars?? Yes these cars can be unrealiable, but if you can afford one you should be able to afford to fix any problems it has
If you pay only $50K for the Evoque, probably brought it used or the entry level model! Trade it in for the Evoque Autobiography model, it is much better in every way!
I've purchased an auto evoque 2014...can any of you fellow drivers help me, when I come to a junction stop or close to stopping...after applying pressure on the accelerator to move away from the junction...I get the front wheels spinning sound and slipping motion? I dont know what this is? Any ideas?
0:38 That rubber thing fell off my car too! But all you have to do is take a little bit of glue and glue it back on. It's SO simple! I'm a 24 yr old girl and was able to fix it in under 5 min all by myself. No big deal!!!!
Mate, I have 2014 evoque and no Problems with it. Don’t generalised the faulty things you had with ur car and blame the Range Rover itself. It’s probably ur car needs fixing with electric and etc but don’t disappoint others not to buy range rover! I’m not disappoint at all !
HORRIBLE experience. DO NOT buy this vehicle. I have a 2019 less than 30,000 miles. Transmission had to be replaced. I’ve had this care for less than 1 year it’s been out of service for 4 months. I’m the shop 4 times because it could not travel 100 miles without it stopping on me. Each time it was in the shop for 1 month. Customer service was horrible. I am usually a BMW driver, but I wanted to try something different. HUGE mistake. Got my car back yesterday. Will be trading it in this week for a BMW. Car is under warranty. They treat me horribly.
I have 2016 Evoque . problemson my car is headgasket failed. dealer said that drive 1000 miles more and come back. I guess dealer does not know how to fix. very stylish car but my biggest regret in my life. my another new hobby is fixing rattles on my evoque haha
I have a 2015 evoque. I bought it as a re- aquired car. The salesman promised me this car would have no problems in the future. Big lie. It is the biggest pile of crap. It has had at least 10 different problems since I have had it. Land Rover refuses to assist me with any of the cost. Today found the fuel tank leaking. Do not ever buy a land rover. Their cars and service sucks.
I really wanted one of these. But, there were so many bad reviews out there. I bought an Audi Q3 in the end. But, every time I see an Evouqe, I wonder if I should have taken the risk. Surely they can't all be bad.
UPDATE : Couldn't fight the urge any more an finally bought one! Pick it up this weekend. Had my Q3 for over three years now and not had a single issue with it. It is no doubt the most reliable car I have ever owned. But, I was forever getting that sinking feeling every time I saw an Evoque. You should never let your Heart overrule your Head. But, I guess I'll have to find out the hard way! Wish me luck!!!!
Brother nothing is perfect in this world. Every car comes with pros and cons. I think this car is one of the best in its segment specifically designed for off-roading and hills driving.
Buy any brand of asian cars are better than European cars in term of quality. Own 2 mitsu outlander gt, 2014 and 2017. Love it. Owned Kia Sorento ex 2005. Awesome.
I am thinking about buying a 2020 Range Rover Evoque ( fully loaded ) . New warranty is 3yrs / 36,000 miles . Would like for you review one . I have watched the watched all the videos on the 2020 and I love all the gadgets . Will trade my 2017 Cadillac CT6 Plug-in Hybrid .
40k on mine and none of these problems....not one. I'm not saying all his complaints aren't valid, but I'm willing to bet if I pushed on that sunglasses holder it would've opened. Maybe the dude got a lemon, maybe he's got a complaint about everything? I dont know. What I do know, with each & every car out there I can find one who had a terrible experience and one that had a wonderful experience.
Issue with trunk is that u have to reprogram. If the battery power level goes down it sometimes loses the memory of where to set the height raises to. A simple program seqeunce by pressing buttons will fix this.
@@LucHDStrG height adjustment option for trunk is to open trunk and then manually position it. Then hold down close button on trunk for 3 to 10 seconds. Then press close button to close trunk. Now when you open it, it is set to where you adjusted it to.
My weather stripping came off also. I'll be gluing it back on tomorrow but yeah I'm disappointed. I also have other issues to look into. A whining sound when I crank it and a rattle sound by rear passenger wheel. None of these affect the performance though. Im having them checked out of precaution. The stripping needs fixing though. Hope I don't get water damage
Very disappointing quality but all faults should be easily rectified under manufacturers warranty at no cost to you. Poor ride quality is often down to large alloys and low profile tyres. This happens in many 4x4 cars, so you could consider whether a change is needed. The dealer should be keen to sort out the problems, if not try another one. I have a 3 year old Hyundai, no problems encountered at at all in 23,000 miles, and nothing has broken or fallen off. And yet the warranty lasts for another 2 more years (in UK). Hope you get all sorted soon.
Name a vehicle that never has any problems and buy it. If you need a bigger vehicle and can’t tolerate a small wheelbase the Discovery will help you with your jeans problem. Most of the problems you mentioned occur with every price range of vehicle, paying more does not equal better reliability nor does it eliminate mechanical failures..... Entitled Millennial.... Should have researched the brand before you bought it, not everyone is or should be a Land Rover customer.
That’s not even a 2016..try 15. The issues with the car can be rectified at a Land Rover dealer (molding, sunglasses holder, etc). The other issues you seem to have are your own and in that case just get rid of the car (ruining jeans, etc). I just had my 2016 full size scheduled maintenance completed at 16k for $550 so I highly doubt the dealer is charging $500 for an evoque.
@@3rdpedalmafia my dad had the car for two days, yes I have to admit it was a second hand car but when we bought it the person said it has absolutely no problems, but when we went to a Range Rover specialist he said the front suspension was COMPLETELY broken and it had 24 other problems. The owner just scammed him that’s all.

We have a 2016 that has never had a single issue that you have had.
I just traded in my 2013 evoque. I bought it used in 2017. I loved the car but that thing was in the shop every 6 to 8 months. My turbo went out twice. $4100 each time to replace. My alternator went out two weeks ago. That cost $1600. My infotainment system also had issues with glitching. Had to have a software update which cost $160. Maybe mine had gremlins or maybe it's the brand. Do your homework before you buy one or you'll be spending money to keep it running.
Just wondering, what symptoms did your car have in relation to the turbo problem? I have a 2015, and just started to hesitate on and off when accelerating. Is this a serious problem?
I love our 2012 Evoque not problems; 68K and it still runs and feels like new.
Some people actually drive faster than 55mph.
The engines in the older 2012 evoque is actually a Eco boost engine produced by ford and also the transmission is produced by Ford So you're most likely going to have a good reliability
Ford failed dual clutch 😂
I have this car for 4 years now and in the last year it starting playing up badly. Apart from comfortable seats and loud good speakers everything else is not reliable.
Did you not test drive it before you bought it?
I totally agree we had the new 2018 evoque and it was so uncomfortable..in the back..Terrible hard suspension...they offered us an off road experience...who wants to go when there's one thing you forget to mention...because of the glass roof they couldn't put hand grabs on the roof of the car when you go over bumps etc
.
So what good is it off road nothing to hold onto...I got rid of my new one within the first year of buying it...never buy another...overated...a piece of scrap metal for me xxx...you hit the nail on the head xxx
I got a call from Land Rover maintenance today. They informed me that i need a new engine. My Range Rover Evoque is a 2014 with less than 65k miles. We need to press for a class action lawsuit.
I feel you
Yrs ago post. Update please!
I haven't been able to get a class action lawsuit moving.
I see the Evoque being towed all the time.
4:10 "Why you should never buy this car"
Omg thx now will not buy this car. Thats a very big issue
Lmao
I laughed so hard loool
I’m still buying one!
Lol
I had the 2016 evoque 2.0l Diesel at 60k miles do not have any of those issues , handles beautifully ride smooth as a lexus car excellent diesel engine smooth and quiet. No faults if you are after a luxury compact suv this will be the one to buy.
It's a bugger when the battery in your doorlock remote lasts longer than the actual car....
There a heap of shit,
I for one am very sorry I bought a new one.
I dont recognize ANY of the problems addressed in this review!
How is the reliability?
Duke : Reliability generally okay, but my persisk experience is based on a short time ownership
Awe man that really sucks those are major.... just let me take it off your hands for ya
Haha same
Lift gate problem maybe try to lubricant hinges and latches of check the hydraulic lift mybe leaked
I have a 2016 fully loaded Evoque Dynamic plus with black pack and it's a superb car. Oh, and yours doesn't look like a 2016 model to me either. Maybe I should do a video on how good mine is lol.
Yea his is the 13 model
Dude you just need to get those problems fixed, I’m sure there’s a warranty
Dealer had to replace my sunglasses holder, you're tellimg facts Bro❗️
My 2011 has 300k miles and still drive like brand new, i drive it across the USA every year.
Never seen a mechanic shop.
I would replace the engine in my garage the day my current one goes under.
The body style will never go out of style
Stop blaming LR... U must go to workshop.... Every car needs a proper care and it's pretty clear you have failed to do so.... As far as car is concerned I have evoque ...so I now abt the car.
how is it? do you like it so far? how is the maintenance on it?
Alok Mishra you won't find any proper care at any LR workshop.
They are crap make you look cheap! Prefer porsche
I've bought a 2014 evoque with 19k on it certified from the dealer and its been by far the worst thing i have ever owned. Engine has been replaced, tranmission has been replaced, diff started leaking at 40k and the NEW engine started leaking at cooler at 45k. Lift gate was fixed around 20k too. The exterior and interior quality is crap. The range rover lettering just started peeling at 46k. This is a vehicle thats garaged most of the day and gets hand washed on weekends. Now there is a knock coming out of the rear suspension and since its dropped out of the factory warranty and is only under the certification they want me to pay 250 every time i take it in to take a guess at what the issue is. I have owned 15+ cars and still own an Audi and a Lexus and they both are 30 times the car this thing is. I complained to Land Rover Jaguer about all of this and they truly amazed me at how much they dont care. They offered good will money and took it off the table since i didnt accept it right away (my grandma was at the hospital and i had to travel - she also passed during that time which i explained to them) And on my last call i discovered that they started a complaint with BBB on my behalf and most likely screwed that up too. I never gave them permission. Garbage vehicles and garbage company. Dont waste your time and money
We are about to sell our 2013 Evoque Prestige Premium and have a 2022 Evoque R-Dynamic ES on order. The 2013 has been the most reliable worry free vehicle I've ever owned, we live in Alaska, so very harsh conditions. 79,500 miles to date and still a fantastic rig, the 17 speaker Meridian sound system is still awesome too.
Im buying one
My dream car
Brandy 17 do not buy this car. I need a new engine!
Dont do it buy a toyota
JaySmitty33 exactly, my Autobiography has done only 12k miles , I have many small intermittent faults and a noisy rear diff. Car is out of warranty in 2 months time .An extended warranty costs £850 per yr thereafter . JLR dealerships are thieves and liars.
Unfortunately, soon to be your worst nightmare!! I purchased a 2015 Range Rover evoque in 2014 (brand new). While it is now the year 2020 January, I have had 3 turbo replacements (should have been recalled!) and now looking at $3400 for the cam shaft/ timing chain that has now gone bad. While this car "looks" good, it's not worth the money spent (55k and some change)! All you have to do is go to the dealership and see how many brand new cars are sitting in the bay waiting to be serviced. :( It's sad!
@@1ronae1 Don't you have warranty on your car? Mine is about to run out and desperately trying to find out that i can trust
My 2015 Honda hrv 1.6 diesel did 175,000 miles in 4 years without a single breakdown or issue, in under 18 months my Evoque 2.0 diesel is back with The dealer for the 5th time and has only done 62,000 miles, the brand new Evoque I got 1 week ago now won’t start and has under 1000 miles on it, I wish you could buy the Evoque with a Honda Engine
thank you for the opinion!
I saw that problem with raining inside the car on a Doug's review video on Range Rover.
that's a shame, because is a really good looking car.
The quality of this car I knew it longtime ago, I like the design but still no confident to purchase one, if you really want it you may sign contract to lease one but do not owe one, three years later please return it by the end of the learning contract back to dealer.
Only dummies buy 200 dollar pairs of jeans
at least his 200 dollar jeans do their job, unlike Land Rovers (and I do have one so I know).
He said 2 pairs of jeans for 200
So 100 each
Pay attention numb nuts😎
Yes and he’s worried about the price of the servicing
they're worth it tho
lemmy999 if you need a new pair of jeans after they touch a tire, they in fact do not do their job
I've had the sun glass holder problem before. turns out, the sunglasses in there got a bit jammed. Took a bit of fiddling with it but we eventually got it working again!
Best car ever. The 9 speed box is as smooth as silk
Rick Plews Smooth ? As long as you don't mind the clonking and the sudden acceleration when setting off at traffic lights !
How about the 2011 models , are the better then after the company was bought up or changed in 2012 ?
“I rubbed my jeans on the tires and it ruined them” yes definitely the cars fault 😂
How fragile are those jeans?
I am from India.
And I am the great great fan of this car.
Wow, every car requires you to take care of it. Get those little little little things fixed. Personally, my rule is if it has engine or transmission problems, then get rid of it, but everything else- FIX it until the fixes start affecting RELIABILITY. If I have to question the reliability, then I gotta get rid of it.
I hate seeing people drop so much money on those unreliable fancy cars! You can blame nobody, but yourself my friend! Next time you'll be much better off buying a plain Subaru Forester with cloth seats....you're gonna love it!
Pete The Master maybe not everyone likes those plain and boring cars?? Yes these cars can be unrealiable, but if you can afford one you should be able to afford to fix any problems it has
I have a 2014 and they had to replace the internal battery, under warranty, the liftgate started working after that.
I want to know why Range Rover has such unreliable components,is it the the build or the quality of the parts .
If you pay only $50K for the Evoque, probably brought it used or the entry level model! Trade it in for the Evoque Autobiography model, it is much better in every way!
Did u treat your car well? In the video the answer seems to be no and if its true dude u need money to maintain them
I've purchased an auto evoque 2014...can any of you fellow drivers help me, when I come to a junction stop or close to stopping...after applying pressure on the accelerator to move away from the junction...I get the front wheels spinning sound and slipping motion? I dont know what this is? Any ideas?
The thing with your wheels. My wheels don't go anwhere nearly as far out as yours. Which dimension of wheels do you have?
I had an m3 which ruined a few sets of jeans, especially in the rain. Never got the smell out
Nice one ... haha!
0:38 That rubber thing fell off my car too! But all you have to do is take a little bit of glue and glue it back on. It's SO simple! I'm a 24 yr old girl and was able to fix it in under 5 min all by myself. No big deal!!!!
My sunglass holder is also jammed omg haha
Liftgate problem is caused by a) low car battery or b) car battery has been changed but not registered (BMS reset by a shop level scan tool).
Note that you can wash the jeans... no need to replace them if they got dirty.
Mate, I have 2014 evoque and no
Problems with it. Don’t generalised the faulty things you had with ur car and blame the Range Rover itself. It’s probably ur car needs fixing with electric and etc but don’t disappoint others not to buy range rover! I’m not disappoint at all !
HORRIBLE experience. DO NOT buy this vehicle. I have a 2019 less than 30,000 miles. Transmission had to be replaced. I’ve had this care for less than 1 year it’s been out of service for 4 months. I’m the shop 4 times because it could not travel 100 miles without it stopping on me. Each time it was in the shop for 1 month. Customer service was horrible. I am usually a BMW driver, but I wanted to try something different. HUGE mistake. Got my car back yesterday. Will be trading it in this week for a BMW. Car is under warranty. They treat me horribly.
I drive evoque 2015 @ 68000 miles still runs good as new !
I have 2016 Evoque . problemson my car is headgasket failed. dealer said that drive 1000 miles more and come back. I guess dealer does not know how to fix. very stylish car but my biggest regret in my life. my another new hobby is fixing rattles on my evoque haha
I have a 2015 evoque. I bought it as a re- aquired car. The salesman promised me this car would have no problems in the future. Big lie. It is the biggest pile of crap. It has had at least 10 different problems since I have had it. Land Rover refuses to assist me with any of the cost. Today found the fuel tank leaking. Do not ever buy a land rover. Their cars and service sucks.
I really wanted one of these. But, there were so many bad reviews out there. I bought an Audi Q3 in the end. But, every time I see an Evouqe, I wonder if I should have taken the risk. Surely they can't all be bad.
i'm in the same boat
just drove a q3 today and evoque
love the evoque but unsure if its worth the risk
David - What you gonna do then?
Phanny Obsession idk honestly
I’m at Mercedes dealer Rn
Just drove a GLA
Wasn’t the biggest fan
How do u like the Q3? I'm thinking of getting one too after i read bad reviews on this one as well
UPDATE : Couldn't fight the urge any more an finally bought one! Pick it up this weekend. Had my Q3 for over three years now and not had a single issue with it. It is no doubt the most reliable car I have ever owned. But, I was forever getting that sinking feeling every time I saw an Evoque. You should never let your Heart overrule your Head. But, I guess I'll have to find out the hard way! Wish me luck!!!!
Brother nothing is perfect in this world.
Every car comes with pros and cons.
I think this car is one of the best in its segment specifically designed for off-roading and hills driving.
Buy any brand of asian cars are better than European cars in term of quality. Own 2 mitsu outlander gt, 2014 and 2017. Love it. Owned Kia Sorento ex 2005. Awesome.
Reprogramming updates are needed. You may also need a new battery on your remote.
I am thinking about buying a 2020 Range Rover Evoque ( fully loaded ) . New warranty is 3yrs / 36,000 miles . Would like for you review one . I have watched the watched all the videos on the 2020 and I love all the gadgets . Will trade my 2017 Cadillac CT6 Plug-in Hybrid .
This is more like "things that commonly require attention in a used car, that are totally normal"
40k on mine and none of these problems....not one. I'm not saying all his complaints aren't valid, but I'm willing to bet if I pushed on that sunglasses holder it would've opened. Maybe the dude got a lemon, maybe he's got a complaint about everything? I dont know. What I do know, with each & every car out there I can find one who had a terrible experience and one that had a wonderful experience.
Issue with trunk is that u have to reprogram. If the battery power level goes down it sometimes loses the memory of where to set the height raises to. A simple program seqeunce by pressing buttons will fix this.
Joe any idea how to do this? I have the exact same problem as this guy. Pressing the close button for 30 seconds does nothing.
how to fixe this problem with trunk
@@LucHDStrG height adjustment option for trunk is to open trunk and then manually position it. Then hold down close button on trunk for 3 to 10 seconds. Then press close button to close trunk. Now when you open it, it is set to where you adjusted it to.
@@Joe-eg7ml Thx for the tip , problem solved :)
@@LucHDStrG good to hear.
This car is not 2016 model!!! Maybe this car is not belonging to you. Only you wearing sunglass is your belongings.
Yup!It looks like my 2015
When these reaches around 100,000 miles time to get rid of it
My weather stripping came off also. I'll be gluing it back on tomorrow but yeah I'm disappointed. I also have other issues to look into. A whining sound when I crank it and a rattle sound by rear passenger wheel. None of these affect the performance though. Im having them checked out of precaution. The stripping needs fixing though. Hope I don't get water damage
Very disappointing quality but all faults should be easily rectified under manufacturers warranty at no cost to you. Poor ride quality is often down to large alloys and low profile tyres. This happens in many 4x4 cars, so you could consider whether a change is needed. The dealer should be keen to sort out the problems, if not try another one. I have a 3 year old Hyundai, no problems encountered at at all in 23,000 miles, and nothing has broken or fallen off. And yet the warranty lasts for another 2 more years (in UK). Hope you get all sorted soon.
Off road ... lol ... try Toyota for that. .. why did you purchase it?
That's what I was thinking. He must have got some kind of lemon. I'm on my second Evoque and never had any of this.
It was the A Pillar😂
Name a vehicle that never has any problems and buy it.
If you need a bigger vehicle and can’t tolerate a small wheelbase the Discovery will help you with your jeans problem.
Most of the problems you mentioned occur with every price range of vehicle, paying more does not equal better reliability nor does it eliminate mechanical failures.....
Entitled Millennial....
Should have researched the brand before you bought it, not everyone is or should be a Land Rover customer.
Hey your car is not a 2016.Just have been had by a MB dealer w/ same situation.Would be very curious to know your vin # and a car fax if you got one?
That’s not even a 2016..try 15. The issues with the car can be rectified at a Land Rover dealer (molding, sunglasses holder, etc). The other issues you seem to have are your own and in that case just get rid of the car (ruining jeans, etc). I just had my 2016 full size scheduled maintenance completed at 16k for $550 so I highly doubt the dealer is charging $500 for an evoque.
Horrible had an HSE stayed in the shop when u buy a range u have to have an extra vehicle
3:11 That's not called an "issue with Range Rover". The issue is that you didn't buy a mini-van.
My dad has had his new Range Rover evoque for two days and the suspension has already broke.
Stop jumping it
@@3rdpedalmafia my dad had the car for two days, yes I have to admit it was a second hand car but when we bought it the person said it has absolutely no problems, but when we went to a Range Rover specialist he said the front suspension was COMPLETELY broken and it had 24 other problems. The owner just scammed him that’s all.
Don't whine and the noise will reduce. Sell it if you are not happy, and research your cars better before buying them in the first place.
