Let’s be honest—the 2025 Range Rover Evoque is the SUV equivalent of a designer handbag. It’s small, expensive, and makes zero logical sense… yet you still want one.
With a fresh facelift, more tech, and that signature British swagger, the new Evoque is here to prove that luxury SUVs don’t need to be practical to be desirable. But is it more than just a pretty face? Let’s find out.
- The Looks: Still the Best-Dressed Compact SUV
The Evoque has always been the James Bond of SUVs—sleek, sophisticated, and slightly impractical. The 2025 model doubles down:
✅ Slimmer LED headlights (because squinting is chic)
✅ Floating roof design (now with optional contrast colors)
✅ Hidden door handles (for when you really need to flex)
It’s still the only SUV that looks equally at home in Mayfair or Malibu.
- The Tech: Fancier Than Your Apartment
Land Rover finally remembered it’s 2025, not 2015:
🔥 11.4″ curved touchscreen (running slick new Pivi Pro software)
🔥 Digital driver display (because analog gauges are quaint)
🔥 ClearSight rearview mirror (turns into a camera feed when your cargo blocks the view)
Bonus: The Meridian sound system is so good, you might just sit in traffic on purpose.
- The Drive: Surprisingly Not a Golf Cart
Don’t let the posh looks fool you—this thing can move:
✔ 2.0L turbo-four (246 hp) or PHEV (309 hp)
✔ All-wheel drive standard (for when your “off-roading” is a gravel driveway)
✔ Adaptive dynamics (so you don’t spill your martini in corners)
Is it a sports car? No. But it’s way more fun than a BMW X1.
- The Catch? (Oh, You Knew This Was Coming)
We love it, but let’s be real:
❌ Cargo space? The trunk’s basically a glorified handbag
❌ Rear legroom? Perfect… if your friends are all under 5’5”
❌ Reliability? It’s a Land Rover—hope you like your dealer’s loaner cars
- Should You Buy One?
If you want a luxury badge with actual style, the Evoque is it.
Buy it if:
✔ You care more about Instagram likes than utility
✔ You’ve always wanted a Range Rover but aren’t ready for a mortgage
✔ You think parallel parking is a sport
Skip it if:
✖ You regularly transport actual adults
✖ You believe SUVs should have usable cargo space
✖ Your idea of “off-roading” is a puddle deeper than 3 inches
Final Verdict: The Guilty Pleasure SUV
The 2025 Range Rover Evoque isn’t the most practical, reliable, or affordable compact SUV. But damn if it isn’t the coolest.
Is it worth it? Objectively, no.
Will you still want one? Absolutely.
