I'm looking to replace the wives Q5 with slightly smaller SUV as kids now gone to Uni. Would like to buy British if possible, but Q5 as been an excellent car, meaning my head says Q3. For now I'm looking only at Evoque, may look at Jag option after test driving Evoque.
Key questions I have are to go for either D180 or P250, which should be enough power but appreciate feedback (not for towing).
I do also want the AWD, but note there is a lack of manual options, very unsure on automatic seems one of the negatives in reviews, are more manuals planned for future?
Any other guidance welcome.

Thanks Chaps for feedback, much appreciated. I think I now need to test drive with automatic gearbox and see how it feels. Right now I believe the P250 should be enough, only expect 6-7,000 miles a year as use my car for road trips. This car tends to be more winter use and a few trips up and down the motorway. Given Land Rover pedigree, I'm expecting this to be more of a match or similar to Quattro system. Audi always moved in the snow, never got stuck but could slide on corners due to weight and wide tyres when pushing it a bit.
