Land rover Range rover evoque problems
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, also known as the Range Rover Evoque, is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV developed and produced by Jaguar Land Rover under their Land Rover marque. The original Evoque was a development of the Land Rover LRX concept vehicle, which was unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in January 2008. The first generation Evoque was produced from July 2011 until 2018 in three and five-door versions, with both two-wheel and four-wheel drive. The second generation of the car went into production in 2018.
First generation (L538; 2011)
Development
The size of the LRX concept vehicle complemented a wide array of efficiency-improving technologies in the form of Land Rover's e_Terrain technologies. These included biofuel compatibility, lightweight construction materials, and technologies such as the removable carbon composite roof panels, regenerative brakes, a stop-start system, along with the ERAD (electric rear axle drive) parallel hybrid powertrain system.
ERAD system
The ERAD system could propel the LRX to speeds up to 20 mph (32 km/h) before the engine was started by an integrated starter generator as part of the stop-start system. ERAD was designed to reduce CO2 emissions by an average of 20% under the NEDC test cycle and was expected to offer another 10% reduction in extra-urban driving situations while also optimizing the off-road ability of the vehicle. Land Rover aimed to achieve 120 g/km CO2 emissions and fuel economy of 60 mpg‑imp (4.7 L/100 km; 50 mpg‑US) on the European combined cycle with an efficient 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine based on PSA DW12. The engine would become the only four-cylinder vehicle in the Range Rover lineup.

- VIN: SALZT2FX6PH
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: . I leased the vehicle from the Suburban of Troy (Jaguar Troy-Land Rover Troy) at 1815 Maplelawn Troy, MI 48084 through Ally Financial on 6/30/22. On 7/29/22 and 8/15/22, I brought the vehicle into the Suburban Collection’s Service Center. I stated that when I remote started the vehicle from the app, I would start driving and a “Gearbox Fault” message would turn on for a day or so and would shut off. I provided the Service Advisor with my login credentials to troubleshoot the concern with my vehicle. Unfortunately, no resolution was made with regards to my vehicle and it was returned to me. This continued to occur. On 1/9/23 (with just over 6,500 miles), I again brought my vehicle into the service center. I started my vehicle using the mobile app while the auto start/stop function was enabled and drove the vehicle for a number of miles and upon entering a roundabout, the vehicle shifted itself into neutral during rush hour traffic. I could not switch out of neutral and had to restart the vehicle in the middle of rush hour and I could have been rear ended. This situation was horrifying. I reached out to four individuals via JLR corporate emails on 3/7/23, as I had not received any information from my service advisor regarding my vehicle. During that time, I was driving a loaner vehicle that did not have the same features and I was unable to start the vehicle remotely during that time. I received correspondence from an Executive Liaison, Jean Meyer on 3/8/23 after receiving my vehicle the day prior. It had been in the dealership’s possession at that time for 66 days and in total, my vehicle had been in their possession for 78 days. During that time, I was informed that the Service Advisor that I had worked with was eliminated because of his handling of my case. I was told that the Shop Foreman was working on my vehicle and that it had been escalated to an engineer that manufactures the transmission, but no one was able to find a resolution for my car switching into n

- Date Of Incident: 2019-07-26
- Date Complaint: 2021-05-28
- VIN: SALVP2RX9KH
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: While driving on the interstate I released the cruise and slowed down when coming up on an 18 wheeler. When it was clear I began to change lanes to the left and tried to accelerate but the engine would not respond. About 5 or 6 seconds later it finally responded. This has happened about a dozen times at random. It has been in the dealers shop 6 times for this issue. The usually update the software and call it good but it keeps on happening. I had it in the shop this past January 2021 and a tech from Range Rover worked on it for about 1 1/2 weeks upgrading the software and said it was fixed. It happened 2 times since then so back to the shop I went. They returned the car on the 4th day stating they could not make the car shut down and there were no codes. I don’t know about you but it’s very stressful when you are driving in heavy traffic on Interstate 4 near Orlando and your car shuts done for a few seconds. I read on the internet where other people are having similar issues. I think something needs to be done before there is a tragic accident because Range Rover acts like they don’t know what everyone is talking about.

Vehicle year: 2018
My wife and I have put over 26,000 miles on our 2018 Evoque due to our daily commutes. Overall, we find it to be a very comfortable and solid ride with low wind noise and decent power. We opted for the premium with the cold climate package to get the amenities we wanted in a luxury car. The only issue we have encountered is a clunky shift from 1st to 2nd gear, which occurs about 25% of the time and can be off-putting. On the bright side, the servicing on 2018 models has been reduced to once a year or every 16,000 miles. Our first service cost us under $250, and the next one will be $400, which was a pleasant surprise, even cheaper than our Kia. Additionally, after being rear-ended and needing almost $20,000 worth of work done, my wife only suffered a sore neck and the dealership was very helpful throughout the entire process. Overall, we are extremely pleased with our purchase and would highly recommend it to our friends.

Vehicle year: 2014
The 2014 Evoque underwent its first service, during which the dealer replaced a faulty fuel injector and ordered a new upper console. Although the parts are taking some time to arrive from England, I am confident that the dealer will resolve the periodic loss of power, dome light, and sunglasses holder issues. I appreciate the thorough attention to detail and expertise of the dealer in addressing these concerns.

Vehicle year: 2021
My wife absolutely loves this car! We had been searching for a small SUV that still had an upscale feel and all the features, and the Evoque exceeded our expectations. In terms of design, panache, and overall package, it is hands down better than the Audi Q3/5 or the BMW X3/5. It's a great driving car and very easy to maneuver in tight spots around town.

Vehicle year: 2014
When my wife and I purchased the Evoque in 2013, she immediately fell in love with its design. I was initially skeptical due to Range Rover's uncertain maintenance and reliability history. However, I am thrilled to report that we have had absolutely no issues with the vehicle, even after driving it for 83,000 miles. The car is not only reliable, but also fun to drive. Additionally, the controls and technology are incredibly user-friendly - I especially love the touch controls. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with our choice.

Are you having problems with your Land rover Range rover evoque?
Gustave Johnston 2025-08-22
Vehicle year: 2020
Although the car looks great, it has some serious safety issues. The auto start stop ECO mode is particularly unsafe. The engine goes off, making it difficult to enter traffic, and when it does respond, the car lunges forward unexpectedly. I've been in numerous situations due to the hilly terrain of Western Pennsylvania, where I've been in the car with my children, waiting to merge into traffic, and the car doesn't respond. This can be a driving hazard as oncoming cars are too close. The engine hesitation even occurs when I manually turn off the ECO mode, which I have to do every time I start the car. I'm very disappointed with this vehicle. I've reached out to Land Rover, but unfortunately, the customer service has been less than satisfactory, and no resolution has been met.

This car has several issues, including difficulty driving, slow response, unstable brakes, noisy speakers, and a leak on the passenger side roof. These problems are unacceptable and indicate a poorly designed vehicle.
Ottis Kozey 2025-08-10
Vehicle year: 2023
I had high hopes for owning a Range Rover, especially after waiting for the 2020 evoque with its new body shape and interior. Unfortunately, my personal experience has not been great. The car has been unreliable and spent a significant amount of time in the repair shop within the first 11 months of ownership. Despite the car's aesthetic appeal, it has been difficult to drive due to issues with the powertrain and onboard computer. I would not recommend purchasing this car.
Dangelo Huels 2025-08-10
Vehicle year: 2016
I purchased the vehicle in December 2014 and unfortunately experienced multiple issues. Despite having to visit the repair shop 8 times, including a full engine replacement, my request for a replacement was denied. As a result, I took legal action and after a 3-year process, I successfully won my case. During the proceedings, it was revealed that the replaced parts, including the engine, were previously used.
