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

The Range Rover Evoque is a stylish small SUV, and Land Rover’s smallest model for sale today, sitting below the likes of the Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar. It’s design-led, with a sleek look and a classy interior.

The latest Range Rover Evoque has been on sale new since 2019, while the first generation arrived back in 2011. Both have been a huge success for the British 4x4 brand, meaning that whether you’re looking to buy or lease a new model or after an affordable secondhand example, there’s loads of choice out there. 

Posh small SUVs such as the Range Rover Evoque are hugely popular, meaning there is a big variety of competitors. Key rivals to the Evoque include the Audi Q3, the high-quality BMW X2, the latest Mercedes GLA and the Volvo XC40.

Should you buy a used Range Rover Evoque? 

While the first-generation Range Rover Evoque prioritised its cool design inside and out over practical elements, the latest 2019-on model is a much more rounded car to buy or lease.

It looks quite similar to the old car, with a subtly evolved design. But inside it was overhauled, with much better technology and infotainment, and a real emphasis on a quality feel. It really does feel like a baby Range Rover.

What’s more, the latest Range Rover Evoque is roomier and more practical than you might think. You get a higher driving position than rivals, while there’s room for four six footers and the boot is bigger than it is in some estate cars. 

The latest model is also better to drive. Whereas the old Range Rover Evoque was decent but not outstanding, the new model feels like a real luxury car. The ride is smooth and plush, and it even handles pretty tidily, while refinement is excellent. 

Of course, this being a Land Rover, it’ll also take you off-road with a level of confidence than no other small SUV rival would. The Evoque’s Terrain Response system means it’s ready for any type of surface you throw at it, from a muddy field to a rocky quarry. Granted, most Evoques will never do this, but it’s nice to know they can if required. 

There’s a range of smooth and swift four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines available, while you can also buy a plug-in hybrid model which can give you 34 miles of pure electric running and save you money on fuel bills.

If you’re looking for a used Range Rover Evoque for sale, we’d recommend the latest 2019-on model. It’s not that the first generation model is a bad car, it’s that the new one is much improved in basically every area. 

With stylish looks, a high quality cabin full of great tech, plenty of space for the family and a composed and refined driving experience, the latest Evoque is no longer just about the looks.

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

Most buyers could probably live with the entry-level D150 diesel engine, but in a glamorous car like the Range Rover Evoque, it’s not about living with things, it’s about feeling spoiled. That’s why we reckon you’ll want to upgrade to the D180 (or the even more powerful D200 or D240), which is faster, more muscular and more refined because it doesn't need to be worked as hard. 

There's three petrol engines on offer: the P200, P250 and P300. There's a bit of a Goldilocks theme with these, as the P200 is a bit strained and out of its depth in the relatively heavy Evoque, while the P300 is a bit excessive given it isn't a car that encourages spirited driving. The P250 is just right, balancing price and performance nicely. 

The P300e plug-in hybrid version is very impressive, with its 34-mile range making it an appealing option for those with short commutes, or for company car drivers looking for low tax bills. We think it's one of the best hybrid cars you can buy.

In terms of trim, you could probably live with the entry-level version or the S trim, because each has a fair amount of luxury kit, but you probably won’t want to. That’s because you’ll want the funky-looking twin touchscreens on the dashboard that look so glamorous, and these only enter the range from SE trim and upwards. 

Used Range Rover Evoque fuel economy and performance

The latest Range Rover Evoque is available with a mixture of petrol and diesel engines, along with a plug-in hybrid option. All but one engine are fitted with a nine-speed automatic gearbox, and most come with a mild-hybrid system to boost efficiency  These engine choices are: 

Petrol:

• Range Rover Evoque P200: The entry-level petrol engine is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo unit putting out 204 PS and 340Nm. That gets the Evoque from 0-62mph in 8.6 seconds, with official fuel economy at 31.4mpg combined. It’s all-wheel drive only.
• Range Rover Evoque P250: The middle petrol option is also a 2.0-litre turbo, but it puts out 249PS and 365Nm. That’s sufficient for 0-62mph in 7.6 seconds, while fuel economy is identical to the P200 at 31.4mpg combined. It’s all-wheel drive only.
• Range Rover Evoque P300: The most powerful Evoque petrol engine is again a 2.0-litre turbo, further tuned to 300PS and 400Nm. It’ll go from 0-62mph in 6.8 seconds, while official fuel economy is 30.7mpg combined. It’s all-wheel drive only.

Diesel:

• Range Rover Evoque D165: The least powerful Evoque is powered by a 163PS 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel with 380Nm. Capable of 0-62mph in 10.1 seconds, it’ll also achieve up to 46.3mpg combined in front-wheel drive manual form. It’s also available with all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox, where it manages 43.7mpg. 
• Range Rover Evoque D200: The top Evoque diesel is also a 2.0-litre turbo, but with 204PS and 430Nm. All-wheel drive only, it’ll hit 0-62mph in 8.5 seconds and achieve up to 43.2mpg

Hybrid:

• Range Rover Evoque P300e PHEV: The plug-in hybrid Evoque is a very popular choice. It uses a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol engine, but mates that to an electric motor for a combined 309PS, making it the most powerful option in the range. Capable of 0-62mph in 6.4 seconds, it’ll also do up to 196.6mpg if used correctly.

What used Range Rover Evoque trim levels are available?

The Range Rover Evoque is available with five key trim levels, some of which are offered in two different versions. These are as follows:

• Range Rover Evoque: The entry-level Evoque has no trim level name, and is the most affordable entry point to buy or lease. The standard equipment list can be upgraded further by selecting the S model
• Range Rover Evoque R-Dynamic: This is the next step on the trim level ladder, with styling and equipment enhancements. The R-Dynamic S model further enhances the kit tally. It’s also the cheapest Evoque to be available as a plug-in hybrid.
• Range Rover Evoque Edition: Edition trim is higher spec still, with a black exterior styling theme. It’s only available with the D200 diesel or P300e plug-in hybrid. 
• Range Rover Evoque HST: This sporty, well-equipped trim level is only available with the most powerful petrol engine: the 300PS P300l. 
• Range Rover Evoque Autobiography: The flagship Range Rover Evoque has all the bells and whistles thrown in equipment-wise, and it’s available with diesel, petrol or plug-in hybrid engines.

Used Range Rover Evoque road tax

This generation of Evoque was released in 2019, after the Government introduced tax rules that applied a flat rate to petrol and diesel cars rather than taxing them according to their CO2 emissions. This is currently £180. The P300e plug-in hybrid is classed as an 'alternatively fueled car', which means you save a tenner and pay £170 a year for VED. 

As such, you’ll pay that flat rate on many versions. On others, though, you’ll be required to pay an additional £390 per year between years two and six of the car’s life, and that’ll be on versions that cost more than £40,000 when new. And beware: if you pick a version that was cheaper than that threshold, but optional extras were added that took it over £40k, then you’ll still be liable for the surcharge. It's always worth a quick online search of the car’s registration to see what the situation is.
