Land Rover Range Rover Evoque review from Consumer Reports

[morpheusmann]

ugly

[TheParone]

That's exactly the way a sporty set up car should handle. 1 rear inside wheel off the ground is a good sign. Rear stepping out when taking foot off throttle and weight transferring to the front is expected in a sporty set up. Touring cars anyone? This guy is definitepy not a car person and doing the review like an old man...I'm 34.

[Ulvaeus]

Consumer Reports is virtually the ONLY negative review for this award-winning vehicle from around the world. I will am inclined to go with the majority view from car enthusiast publications globally that this is a great vehicle. Consumer Reports tests cars like they test appliances -- and in the process often miss the mark in their auto reviews. By the way, this vehicle is far from cramped inside.....

[SuperMattMuah]

Really? The only music you can utilize is garage band jingles?

[jvrdlc]

I really liked his review

He pointed really good details

Handling and steering and visibility

Those were the kill factors

The rest is ok looks and all that is one thing

Driving characteristic, handling, and emergency manouver is another

Great review CR

[nameoffeather]

how is 50k expensive? The diesel engine will save you so much on gaz. he forgot to mention 40mpg

All European SUVs are way over 50k, even lexus which are quite shit

[dr150]

This is a spot on review. Steering is weight heavily and not very practical vs. competition. The back seat is cramped, the boot is small and the roof line makes tall items in back or tall people in front more cramped. The glass roof but gets hot easily on a sunny day if left open. The center console is laggy. The seats are side bolstered too heavily. The engine has good pep though. The price kills it vs. the Q5, X3, Grand Cherokee XC60 when priced apples to apples. Reliability of the LR i

[duaneadam]

From the same outfit who's best comment about the Lotus Elise was "the engine buzz is unpleasant". There are better reviews about this car than this one.

[therealcamelman]

With out a doubt a great looking car but Forester is real engineering and lasts...

[BelgradeWinner]

Fuck you!!

[YeuLaKho]

it slided out more than the Lexus Gx460

[WellImHereNow]

to be honest i find this review a little to critical and a little nit picky. have to give land rover its dues trying something completely new and different to what they normally make so for a first attempt its quite good and the wing mirrors thing i think is a legal matter ive heard they have to be in proportions of the car i remember hearing.

[Lexolo999]

I am a fan of Consumer Reports; they usually give the real truth with a car unlike other reviewers who just give what people want to hear. That being said, I think they went overkill in this review. This vehicle is just the right size for a daily driver. It combines Land Rover's famous off road capabilities in a vehicle that is the right size and is also much more efficient than their other offerings.

[SwPiotrek]

Very very nice car!

[richl]

It’s a Peugeot engine from source tweaked by Ford.

[bdub232]

@consumerreports Wow, acceleration in ''pretty quick''.. and fuel economy is pretty good? Couldn't be bothered to do any actual work and give real results?

[cowsgonemadd3]

This whole review was nothing but whining which is pitiful seeing how good this thing is shown to perform in yalls competitors reviews of this vehicle.

[LandRoverNieuws]

Indeed, very nice car !

[rohanuva]

what an 'american' review! Land Rover has made a fun car, that has won accolades from many different car magazines.. what a tool... loose some weight fatty americans and you might fit into it.. and the tail coming out under hard cornering is fun, not dangerous!

[NattDogg01]

@rohanuva Not when there is a deer in the road or a larger vehicle that decided to cut the corner a little. I agree with you on the fact that it is fun though...

[chunky1x]

I don't like its shifter. The servo motors will go bad and it will not rise.

[kamileoz]

Ugly car

[nconley118]

Cocking a back wheel and lift-off oversteer ARE good handling characteristics. And the shifter isn't "fussy" its different. Despite all of these, in my opinion, stupid arguments, it is still a very interesting and cool car and that was not mentioned enough.

[jvrdlc]

Amazing review Tom, this car is a joke, too expensive just for looks

[gadgetguy4000]

i love range rovers and landrovers this one makes my love even higher and you can equip it to 50,000 dollars which is exactly like a vw tiguan equipped that high!nice job land rover!

[minibus1351]

gear shifter is "fussy"? unless you are an idiot, this is the easiest way of shifting. If this is fussy, everything is fussy.

[grifster981234567890]

now if consumerreports made a car it would be the best vehicle in the whole world.

[autoideas]

You guys still letting this goof-ball Mutchler host these videos??? Come on CR, give me a chance, I will blow this guy away!!!! He says he is an engineer, but he rarely talks about the engineering that goes into these modern vehicles... what's the point?

[Brunoxtr]

what a shyt 2:47

[applesmnch2]

@vothry lol Americans r so fat

[rally240]

wonder if this one will be a mechanic money pit like the rest...

[imaginaiton4me]

agree that emergency handling should better.. i agree with you and with the cost. i will get something better than that with the money. but i can't get over the styling.. keep me thinking, i might get one but should wait for couple years.

[flamebowi]

This reviewer completely missed the point of what this suv is about.

[psurge38]

Looks great, but they have a bad reputation for reliability!

[vothry]

You mean most AMERICANS won't fit in the seats.

[jex9]

@vothry LOL sad, pathetic, and true. Drive through residents winging over"narrow" seats; so typical! Hell I would buy it!

[TheMichaelRN]

still made by land rover, has one of the worst, if not the worst, reliability history. had my own those, should have listened. never gonna buy again.

[Martincooksley]

it will have great re-sell value, also people wouldnt buy this because of its little issues, they'll buy it because they just want one, similar to the mini,

[MacSaab93]

Rear seat room is actually pretty good. I'm 6'2" and fit comfortably.

[theelectronicslover]

Dang! You love to complain. Plus 46 grand for any land rover isn't bad

[76carmel]

@theelectronicslover

You're right! This is a great competitor to BMW X3, Mercedes M-Class, and Audi Q5. The shifter's Jaguar-esque. Unlike the German competition, you can go off-road with the Evoque.

[bnjw12]

Stop complaining this is a great car!
