Used Range Rover Evoque for sale: everything you need to know

Style is the Range Rover Evoque’s strongest suit. The original model launched in 2011 was to SUVs as the Audi TT was to coupes back in the 1990s - a car that made all its rivals instantly look very dreary and unimaginative. The second generation Evoque arrived in 2018, and while it dropped the rakish three-door model and unusual convertible, it’s a more complete product overall.

Once again it’s well-styled inside and out, and while the style does mean it sacrifices some practicality compared to more conventionally-shaped SUVs, it’s still useful enough, and being a product from Land Rover, it’s far better off road than you’d expect - or indeed, far better than you’re ever likely to need. New or used it’s a highly desirable SUV, and its popularity means there’s plenty of choice on the used market.

Should you buy a Range Rover Evoque?

If eyecatching styling and a strong image are two of your main priorities in an SUV, then it’s hard to beat the Range Rover Evoque. The original model looked like it had driven straight off a motor show stand, while the latest 2019-on cars take that style and refine it. It’s a more rounded car than its predecessor, and not just in terms of its bodywork.

All the usual Range Rover cues are there, from genuine off-road ability (that most owners will never get close to using) to a stylish, somewhat minimalist cabin design, and a seating position that’s higher than a lot of similarly-sized rivals, if not quite as lofty as you get in the full-sized Range Rovers. Interior space is impressive too, though the slim windows mean it feels a little tighter than some more conventionally-shaped alternatives.

It feels like a luxury car to drive too. Ride and handling are both impressive, and it’s more refined than the old model - especially in the plug-in hybrid P300e, which can run on electric power for more than 30 miles, making urban driving a breeze. There’s plenty of equipment too, everything from off-road modes like Terrain Response, to luxury car comfort and convenience features.

Rivals for the Evoque include everything from Audi Q3s, BMW X3s and Mercedes-Benz GLCs, to the sporty Alfa Romeo Stelvio and the Porsche Macan, the latter with probably an even stronger image than the Range Rover. If you can’t quite stretch to the current Evoque either, the pre-2019 models are still well worth a look, and still look sharp on your driveway.

What’s the best used Range Rover Evoque model to buy?

There’s an argument to be made for sticking with the entry-level D150 diesel engine, front wheel drive, and the basic trim level - after all, you still get the Evoque’s style and general feel, and it’s the most affordable way into the range. However, most buyers will happily spend more to get something a little better-equipped and more glamorous, better matching the larger and more prestigious Range Rovers. Engine-wise then we’d go for either the D200 or the mid-range petrol P250 as a good starting point for performance and economy - or, if you can afford it and have somewhere to charge, enjoy the part-time electric running of the P300e. In terms of trim, look at R-Dynamic and upwards - though the range-topping Autobiography is probably overkill.

Used Range Rover Evoque fuel economy and performance

• Range Rover Evoque P200: The entry-level engine is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol with 204 PS. 0-62mph comes up in 8.6 seconds, and economy is 31.4mpg combined. All petrol models are all-wheel drive.
• Range Rover Evoque P250: Next up is a 249PS version of the 2.0-litre, dropping the 0-62mph time down to 7.6 seconds, while economy matches the P200 at 31.4mpg.
• Range Rover Evoque P300: Another 2-litre turbo, the top petrol Evoque makes 300PS, for an even quicker 0-62mph of 6.8 seconds, and only a small economy drop to 30.7mpg.
• Range Rover Evoque D165: Diesel models start with a 163PS 2.0-litre turbodiesel. Here 0-62mph takes 10.1 seconds, and economy beats all the petrols at 43.7mpg as an automatic four-wheel drive and 46.3mpg with a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive.
• Range Rover Evoque D200: With 204PS, the 2-litre diesel gets to 62mph in 8.5 seconds (with standard all-wheel drive), and economy is 43.2mpg.
• Range Rover Evoque P300e PHEV: The plug-in hybrid Evoque pairs a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor. The result is a combined 309PS, 0-62mph in 6.4 seconds, and thanks to 34 miles of EV range, economy of a combined 196.6mpg.

What used Range Rover Evoque trim levels are available?

Land Rover changes the Range Rover Evoque’s trim levels fairly regularly so the models listed below may not represent the current range, but they’re a representative selection of the kind of cars you’ll find on the used market.

• Range Rover Evoque: In entry-level form you don’t get a named trim level but you do still get plenty of kit, including LED headlights, alloy wheels, leather seats, and a digital driver display. Evoque S models get a little more kit on top of that.
• Range Rover Evoque R-Dynamic: You get predictable extra equipment and features with the next model up, and it’s also the cheapest Evoque to be available as a plug-in hybrid.
• Range Rover Evoque Edition: Edition models have a black exterior styling theme, while engine choice is between the D200 diesel or P300e plug-in hybrid.
• Range Rover Evoque HST: The HST has a sporty theme and more equipment than the models below, while it’s available only in P300 petrol form.
• Range Rover Evoque Autobiography: As with larger Range Rover models, Autobiography tops the range and packs pretty much all the equipment Range Rover can offer. Most of the engines are available.

Used Range Rover Evoque road tax

As the current generation Evoque was launched in 2019, it’s always been subject to a flat rate of VED or ‘road tax’. If the Evoque you’re looking at cost under £40,000 brand new, then it’ll attract a bill of £190 per year, but models over £40,000 get a surcharge, lifting the tax bill to £600 until the car’s seventh year on the road. The plug-in hybrid P300e is £10 cheaper.

How much is it to insure a Range Rover Evoque?

You’ll find the current Range Rover Evoque in insurance groups 26-40 depending on the engine and trim level. That’s actually a little lower than its predecessor, which was in groups 28-43, and it’s lower than the groups 35-50 of a Porsche Macan, though the Porsche’s engine lineup is biased more towards high performance.
