Was considering one of these myself but bought a Discovery Sport instead. Roomier inside, smoother ride and still only 2Ltr AND cheaper. Mine is a 2020 and comparing apples with apples Evoque same age up to $20k dearer. I went for the Discovery mainly for the room inside and the price also was taken into consideration. Have had the discovery for about 4 weeks now and enjoying it. Like driving a laptop

Brother has one now in UK on company. Loves it though with bigger wheels ride is Awful. He’s had various LR products before. If you are looking older cheaper ones and your ongoing budget is low maybe not. New and can afford it go for it.

I've always thought they were Over-rated and that the Top gear crew gave rise to this. I Personally would never contemplate owning one as there are better cheaper /more expensive options out there.

I thought Discovery Sport and Evoque were on the same underpinnings?
Had the diesel Evoque for three years after a succession of Freelanders. The only comment I would make, other than total satisfaction with all of them, is that the sloping roof of the Evoque does restrict carrying capacity, for larger items such as whiteware.
There are several saloons that will take larger suitcases.
Strangely enough, we got several compliments from strangers that the Evoque looked nice.
Having driven several so called competitors, from Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Toyota, personally, I'd still stick with the Evoque as a driving experience.
Visibility is fine, but when reversing, not as good as those with a straight roof.
Diesel was exceptionally economical, especially on a run, but I have reverted to petrol, as I'm not sure that the resale value of diesels in a few year' time is going to be too good.

Back on topic brother has never had any problems in 15 years of discos and evoques. Loves them
