New Evoque... mpg difference to old Evoque
Discussion
Picked up a second Evoque (3 years after the first) for Mrs Get today. It had been my only LR that never ever broke down, hence a re-buy. Was pretty astounded by the difference in mpg today, having moaned about the first one. I know the journey well (68 miles) and was getting 36 mpg on the first version, even when run in. No idea what they did - It pulls the same - but even new, and out of the box, it managed 43+ mpg. Distance to empty when full now gives 90 miles more. Good work LR! (Range is important here).
Other differences: Smaller wing mirrors (good - old ones far too big), and if the air bags go off, the emergency services are called automatically and GPS location sent. Button also added to do same.
...oh, and a free app which tells me stuff about car... location/fuel/stolen etc when anywhere in the world. Like I needed another app. Still.

I've just had a used 6speed auto (they were saying June / July delivery due to the new 9speed box ! I'll prob be in another car by then) - I really wanted the better economy of the 9 speed but I'm hearing a few reliability issues. You'll be fine with the manual though. Very nice car.

Hmmm, I'm not sold on that. Can see plenty of false alarms and unnecessary attendances. Do the blue light crowd attend auto-initiated calls without full details of the incident? Airbag initiation doesn't always mean Plod/Holby/Trumpton are required. Still, I guess setting the wheels in motion and then up or down grading is no bad thing.
