That’s easy to explain. An Evoque is an incredibly cheaply and badly made car, fitted with a good interior. This isn’t “opinion”, you can look at every survey (for example, What Car reliability survey), and the Evoque particularly, and Range Rover generally, score dead last.
There’s nothing in an Evoque that can’t go wrong, starting from (common) gearbox and engine issues, electrical issues, suspension issues, leaking fuel tanks, etc pp. While i agree that it’s a nice place to be inside, i’d rather have 75% of that “niceness” and 500% more reliability.
Our current car (Ateca 1.5 DSG) is objectively the best car i’ve ever had – subjectively though, i “loved” my old E36 325i Coupe more. There’s just not much better (for “mortals” anyway) than a straight six. But that’s many moons ago, i wouldn’t want to miss all the niceties that our car has, that the BMW didn’t have 25 years ago.
