2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque consumer reviews

Unreliable, within the last year alone steering rack failure, Haldex coupling pump failure, central locking failure, turbocharger failure. 1 owner from new (me), full Landrover service history. 70,000 miles, 14 plate.

This car broke down 3 months after purchase. Not reliable but it looked good. Better buy it zero mileage on it. It was a bad decision

Material not so good, iron rusts quickly because of all the aluminum. The motor has a lot of problems, the stability in curves is not good.

Fun vehicle. Lots of fun driving modes and fuel efficient. Very classy yet tough enough to off road and handle all weather from loose gravel to sloppy snow. Brand new Run Flat tires included

This was my first Land Rover purchase experience. I am very mechanically inclined so when purchasing, I went over this thing with a fine tooth comb. I was impressed on how the AWD system and engine get this SUV up and moving. Everything is going so great until little things started happening. My steering wheel controls stopped working, that was an indicator of worse things to come. My power steering module failed and I lost all power steering. A trip to Land Rover cost me $600 to fix. Time goes by and my speedometer stops working and my whole dash is lit up like a christmas tree. Another trip to Land Rover cost me $400 for a wheel speed sensor. So im back on the road driving as normal. White steam comes rising from my bonnet and a low engine coolant light comes on. My radiator coolant hose burst and coolant sprayed all over my engine. Another towed trip to Land Rover and $1000 later for a radiator hose, thermostat, inspection, and coolant flush. At this point I ask "what else can go wrong?" the very next week later im putting gas at the gas station and then my car doesnt start. By this time, the service adviser knows my number by heart and offers to tow the vehicle free to the service dept. Now it needs a new starter solenoid. Another $1500 later because the intake manifold needs to be removed to access the starter. Also they recommended me replacing the battery. Just one day of normal driving, going home I stopped at the dry cleaners. Get back into my vehicle and it doesnt start. Towed it to Land Rover again and they said the ECU isnt communicating with a body control module. They said that is a $4000 repair due to new ECU and reprogramming. At this point this vehicle is a nightmare. I will never buy another Land Rover or even touch one. It looks great sitting in my front yard until I can fix it. And no, it currently doesnt run. Dont buy this car ever... Dont make the same mistake I did.

Looks great, and pretty good dynamics. But - and everybody warned me - has been appalling from a reliability standpoint. Electrical issues galore, endless emissions system problems and, most recently, the diff failing with less than 75k miles on the clock. I wanted so badly to really like this car, and to be able to tell everybody that everything that you hear about Range Rovers is untrue. Sadly, that isn't to be; so I've resorted to warning anybody who'll listen to steer well clear. I had entertained the idea of replacing this one with another Range Rover, or a Jag (F-Pace). I can say with absolute confidence that will never be the case.

I’ve had it less than a year and have had to replace the engine with a brand new engine the 8 months later find out it needs a turbo charge that has gone out! I hate this vehicle and will never buy or recommend any Range Rover vehicles

I truly love this vehicle, and I am so disappointed to be yet another owner feeding into the perception that Range Rovers are garbage, but here I am. I religiously serviced the vehicle and treated it well. At 65K miles, everything started going downhill. I ignored the odd electrical malfunctions such as the interior lights randomly turning on and off, the stereo not working until I restarted the car, etc. Then the first major repair became necessary. For 2K, I had to replace a shredded gear that i was told should be shredded normally at 65K miles. I replaced it. Then my rear light went out, which is not big deal and happens to any vehicle, but since it is LED, the whole unit had to be replaced at $700. Again, I just wrote it off as part of owning a luxury vehicle. However, now at 70K miles, I chug chug chugged to the dealership to figure out why I had no power any longer, and I am now told I need a whole new engine. They are unable to offer me an explanation as to how this could happen at just 70K miles. The fourth cylinder has no compression, and I guess this means the only fix is a brand new engine estimated at 10 to 15K. For a vehicle with only 70K miles on it. I have done some research and have found quite a few stories such as mine. I'm super bummed that it ended up being a piece of crap, as is the stereotype. I thought I would be a Range Rover customer for life, but... never again, sadly.

I needed an all wheel drive car to work in Yosemite and on a whim looked at a previous owned Range Rover Evoque. It drives beautifully and with the Jaguar engine and breaks, I will never buy another brand of car. It also has the best gas mileage of any other SUV at 24 to 28 mpg.

This car has the most comfy seats, great leg room. I love the split 40/60 back seat. It looks awesome, a real head turner. It's the only one in town and it gets a lot of looks. Love the automatic head-lights and windshield wipers. I really can't say anything bad about it except for the rear window is small and the moon roof needed to be tinted because the sun beats down on you.
