While many of its SUV rivals are busy justifying their existence with stirring performance or outsized cargo capacity, the 2021 Range Rover Evoque goes for the jugular with one of the most attractive designs in the business. The Evoque’s cabin is similarly stylish and inviting—at least for front-seat passengers, as those too slow to call shotgun may find themselves feeling claustrophobic in the back seat. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine provides adequate power, although rivals such as the BMW X1 and the Volvo XC40 T5 are both quicker. The Evoque’s handling is less poised than its rivals, too, but its tall seating position delivers an SUV-appropriate feel from behind the wheel, which is something we think many buyers in this segment will appreciate.
