Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it

Did the same as Bradders and the same response.

It's a two wheel drive Freelander with a crop and Range Rover badge. Biggest rip off I've witnessed a company getting away with.  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

I considered one for the wife, but in the end got her the Freelander. For similar reasons to Bradders. Currently driving:
MY 2015 RRS SDV6 Dynamic Fuji White
Mini Cooper S

Gone:
MY13 RR Evoque Dynamic Black
MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Luxury Baltic Blue
2012 Land Rover Freelander2 2.2 TD4 XS Fuji White
2012 BMW 320d Sport Arctic White

Tiny inside, mate has one and it felt uber small....

The Evoque is exactly as two wheel drive as the Freelander i.e. most of the time. They share drivetrains and use a Haldex system in the rear diff to provide drive to the rear when required. LR do make a two wheel drive FL2/Evoque for those who want the look without the ability. Shame.

Let's not forget that RRS1 is a D3 with RR badges and less space. So there is heritage there...  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I had an Evoque for nine days earlier this year (whilst having my TDV8's turbos replaced). Not to my taste but actually not a bad vehicle. It's lacking interior space in the back/boot when one considers that it's as wide as RRS1 and not hugely shorter. The view out is pretty poor thanks to the silly low roof line / high waist line relationship. Handling is pretty good although I found the steering to be pretty dead. Brakes were excellent. I liked the way you get post-facelift RRS1 interior look/feel too.

Would I consider one? I might do if I didn't need big towing capacity or proper off road ability (the Evoque/FL2 aren't bad off road but they can't live with their bigger siblings' abilities). If I wanted a 4WD car (rather than a 4x4) for just me or me+1 then I might consider one, yes. It's a good vehicle. It's probably not a good family vehicle though as it's lacking in interior space.

Overall, I prefer my RRS though.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I like the way it look but for a 2.4 family with dog it just isn't big enough!

As a trendy couples car I think it works well.

As for value for money I think it's over priced.

You are quite correct sir. Sport was more of an upgrade on disco, calling an Evoque a Range Rover is a bit of a trade discription issue, it seems JLR are now using the name to cash in on previous name but it just dilutes the brand name. Next they will be naming it a Range Rover Freelander..........  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
