What is it?
The L551 Range Rover Evoque is the second-generation small Range Rover, in post-2024 facelift form. Three powertrains on the Premium Transverse Architecture: 2.0L petrol P200 MHEV (147 kW), 2.0L diesel D200 MHEV (150 kW, 430 Nm), and the P300e plug-in hybrid pairing a 1.5L three-cylinder turbo with an electric motor for 227 kW combined and around 62 km WLTP EV range. AWD standard across the range.
The lineup runs from Evoque S P200 at $73,475 plus on-roads, through to Evoque Dynamic HSE P300e at $101,400 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, 150,000 km.
Interior and Technology
P300e PHEV delivers around 62 km of WLTP EV range, genuine urban EV use from a small premium SUV. AWD standard across the range with Terrain Response 2 means ski-trip capability the German rivals cannot match. ClearSight Ground View camera is a genuinely useful trick.
JLR reliability history is the real consideration before signing. From $73,475 plus on-roads it is expensive against an Audi Q3 or BMW X1 base. P300e PHEV pricing pushes it close to a Volvo XC40 Recharge full EV. 5-year warranty trails Korean and Chinese small SUV competitors.
