Hi all! I just got my first Evoque (2020 R-Dynamic SE P300), and I wanted to know some of your opinions on past Evoques reliability? There are so many negative reviews out there of the Land Rover brand, usually from a "friend" or an acquaintance. I'd like to see some firsthand experiences! The only things I've noticed personally were the slight lag on acceleration from stop and infotainment lag, neither that are dealbreakers. I understand we live in a time where people want things instantaneously, but those are very minor potential drawbacks. What's all the LR unreliability about?

 

I think those cars are ok, the problem is lack of knowledge of servicians. I had a issues with evoque only right after filter/oil yearly exchanges. Usually they fail to exchange/connect fuel filter properly, or damage connections at fuse box while exchanging cabine filter. Once they damaged connectors at rear differential ECU while changing oil, did not mentioned to me (of course), so about 2 weeks after ECU burned together with haldex pump.

 

And this was serviced through the dealer? :O

 

no, just local service companies. Closest certified service is 200km, and one do not expect oil/filter exchange requires some extra skills.
