Also the interior is so much nicer. Quality and the looks is so much better.
Interior space might not be the best but if that's a concern get a disco sport.
Quality. An evoque. Are you kidding. Really. Lexus trumps everyone for quality. Interior space might not be the best but if that's a concern get a disco sport.
If you’re serious about off roading you buy a Landcruiser or big JLR car not this fake tan mums PCP run around.
Anyway I'll leave this here https://youtu.be/Vo6Lj6G5tN8 {/url}

JLR will be hoping for better sales. European sales peaked at 61k annually and averages over 50k for the last 5 years. 40k in 2018 and January was the lowest ever Evoque sales figures.
To be fair the market has grown as every manufacturer will want a slice and was always going to drop. M4CK 1 said:
Sorry but the lexus looks like the son of predator. It might have a nice interior but really it's just a rebadged Toyota crossover SUV

You do know Toyota make the best quality cars in the world.Anyway I'll leave this here https://youtu.be/Vo6Lj6G5tN8 {/url}
On another thread it was mentioned JLR will start using the BMW V8. Big mistake, they'd be better buying in their entire drivetrains from Toyota and simply designing and styling the cars.

No. I had an x5 yonks ago and found its meagre off road abilities surplus to my requirements so I replaced it with a car. It was nice to load the shopping into and really that’s why people buy them. The higher ride height, the ease of loading and unloading not the off road ability - hence why an Rx/nx is a worthy alternative - particularly as they’re much more reliable.
Actually the new Hyundai Tuscon and Santa Fe look good rivals for this - and much longer warranties.
You are correct, some people do indeed buy cars like this for the ease of loading shopping (or kids) into. And for many looks and image will play a big part. Which the Evoque does both very well. And if you can remove you unbiased head, the Evoque isn't a bad car, even if there is something which is better.Actually the new Hyundai Tuscon and Santa Fe look good rivals for this - and much longer warranties.
But not everyone buys like this. Some people, maybe those in the horse community, out door pursuits (rock climbing/hiking) or farming, would actually welcome something they know they can roll in and out of fields in or up and down tracks. Something an Evoque will do very well.

As would an RX450h, Nx300h, Hyundai Santa Fe, Tuscon etc (and these all look great too).But not everyone buys like this.

I’d say the evoque is the lesser of all these cars and image/looks is very questionable.

I suspect you are in a minority. And clearly seem to have two agenda's, firstly you seem to be a Toyota fan boy and you seem to have some beef to irrationally hate on the Evoque.I’d say the evoque is the lesser of all these cars and image/looks is very questionable.
I've not bashed Toyota or Lexus. They are fine cars, but they aren't lookers.

Is that why Toyota use BMW engines?
They’re embarking on a terrible terrible mistake doing that for the Supra. Toyota owners just won’t be accustomed to timing chains breaking and random warning lights.It wasn’t set in stone the supra had to be a straight six. They could have developed a flat six from the Gt86 motor, used the UZ V8, or the venerable v6 that’s going into lotus cars, or the new v6 turbo that’s in the US market LS.

I don’t try they’re bad looking cars, neither are the Korean made Santa Fe or Tuscon models I pointed out. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I don’t see it in the evoque. Given JLRs patchy reliability I thought it worthwhile mentioning car makers known for making the most reliable cars in the world - at a similar new price point.I've not bashed Toyota or Lexus. They are fine cars, but they aren't lookers.
I have no agenda. I’m merely discussing cars on a car forum. I doubt if I mentioned a used Cayenne, discovery, RR, Bmw x 3/4/5/6 new/used you wouldn’t be accusing me of having an agenda but as soon a Toyota or Lexus or Hyundai/Kia are mentioned the forum cabal goes to volume 11. I don’t understand it.
