Range Rover, but after a while the penny dropped: the Evoque itself is pretty much faultless. It’s the ego thing which is an issue, but really, when all is said and done, do I really need to haul all of the extra wood and leather around with me (not to mention shell out another £50k) for the bigger brother? Is this a statement of ‘I’ve
done well and I like nice things but I don’t need the extra space to haul around my ego?’ Perhaps. But you’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din. The Evoque is not only a good car, but charming too. It’s nailed together as well as its big brother (and that gets compared to Rolls-Royces!), has all of the tech and toys you could wish for,
including a natty HUD and Adaptive Cruise, and it does have an element of understatement to it. If the ego thing is really too much for you to swallow, though, take heart in the fact that a fully-loaded Discovery Sport is almost £5,000 less. Make of that what you will, but do one thing before you make your mind up: try one. TR
