The simple answer is that the Evoque is smaller than both the Range Rover Sport and Range Rover. In size terms it is only marginally longer than a Ford Focus. It also has a 2.0 litre petrol or 2.2 litre diesel engine compared to the larger lumps of metal in its bigger brothers.

In terms of market Land Rover expect about 75% of Evoke buyers to be new to Land Rover. Apparently a lot of Audi TT owners are showing serious interest in the Evoke.

Actually your Freelander is 4500 mm overall length while your Focus is 4337 mm overall length an Evoque on the other hand is either 4355 mm overall if its a Pure/Prestige or 4365 if its a Dynamic. Hence my previous comment that an Evoque is only slightly longer than a Ford Focus.

The real point I was making is that Evoque is smaller than both the Range Rover (4972 mm) and the Sport (4783).

Interesting, although my own Focus is actually 4402mm long (Mk 2 RS), so there's only 4" in it.

Spotted a silver Evoque SD4 auto and a red with black roof Si4 Dynamic Coupe around North Northamptonshire and Rutland today running in a convoy with a Range Rover Sport and Discovery 4 from LRE.

Black Evoque M40 today about 3:00pm. Land Rover recovery behind it, AA flatbed in front, all just North of the Gaydon junction

Followed a black Evoke up the lane from Gordano village towards Failand yesterday. Looked very poised but I don't think I'd like the restricted vision around the rear end.

Baltic Blue Si4 Prestige near Corby yesterday.

Spotted my first one in Toronto at an Auto show late June, White with red/black leather superb, have seen more recently on transporters. Gone, 2007 TD4 SE Auto Baltic blue, clear side repeaters, full sized alloy spare.

English by birth..... Yorkshire by the grace of God.

Had another look at the Evoke today at a LR dealer not local to me. Always interesting to visit a new dealer where nobody knows you and you can have a good rumage!

Well, on second inspection I'm really not at all sure still. The 3dr is, in my eyes, an urban chic-trolley....for me quite revolting. The four door is more interesting but it is tiny, very compact indeed. I lov ethe front end though, all LR's could go this way imho

Most interesting was the salesman's comment, 'freelander sales have fallen off a cliff!' GOOD I thougt....some great deals on the way for lovers of proper 4x4's!! FL2 GS Auto '58reg

2002 Toyota Celica 140 Silver (mid life crisis - again!)
2007 FL2 GS Manual Army Reconnaissance Green + freel2.com sticker

2000 Toyota Celica 140 Silver - Gone

1996 Nissan Primera 1.6 - Gone
1994 Rover Montego 1.6 Auto - Gone

Spotted an Evoque on Skinner street in Whitby last saturday. Looked to have a lot of road dirt on it so don't think it was a local.

saw a white 3dr in london, all the bling......looked truely revolting as did the people in it! FL2 GS Auto '58reg
