4/5 Carbuyer: ''Land Rover designed the Range Rover Evoque to appeal to people who are less interested in outright off-road ability and more interested in 4x4 looks and fun-handling on the road. The best-looking model is the three-door car, but the Evoque is also available with five doors for customers who need the extra practicality.

Land Rover designed the Range Rover Evoque to appeal to people who are less interested in outright off-road ability and more interested in 4x4 looks and fun-handling on the road. The best-looking model is the three-door car, but the Evoque is also available with five doors for customers who need the extra practicality. The Evoque is available in three levels of trim – Pure, Prestige and Dynamic, but whichever model you choose, all get high-quality interiors, with metal, leather and wood on show. Its ability to provide a Range Rover feel in a small package is the Evoque's biggest selling point.

The Evoque is the cheapest way to own a Range Rover, and also the company's most affordable model to run. Later this year the high-performance Range Rover Autobiography Dynamic will be added to the range.''

4/5 What Car?: "Stylish, good to drive and with desirability that none of its rivals can match, the Range Rover Evoque is the leaner, trendier Range Rover we've been waiting for."

4/5 Parkers: "Undoubtedly it will appeal to city slickers who want a bit of urban chic as well as something they can take to the country for a bit of a jaunt on the rough stuff, and it should please those who 'want something different.''

4/5 AutoExpress: "It's undoubtedly a Range Rover, being great off-road and featuring a luxurious interior, but it's easy to drive around town thanks to the smaller dimensions.''
