    I think so. The FL2 also has the same motor. I haven't driven the Evoque, but my preference would be for the last 2015 FL2s with a bigger cargo space, bigger windows & D4 styled interior. They are still available new at half the price of a RRE.

    Evoque is a sexy beast!!

    I own an Evoque Sport and I can tell you she is a beaut! Sure there are a few little things that aren't quite to my liking but overall, though pricey, she was a good purchase.

    My previous Landy was a Discovery and while it had all the bells and whistles and is made for tougher distances and terrain, the Evoque is just a sexier, more sleek version of it and while I don't plan on taking her on the roughest of terrains, it would definitely be able to handle herself.

    Moving into the city probably had something to do with it, but I am glad of my purchase and have no problems with it at all.

    Cheers,
    Kevin

    Ean,

    One of the guys at work has one... very nice to ride in around town. Not sure I'd want one for my use, but certainly still a really comfortable vehicle, more capable than most think.

    If you are going to buy a "mid range spec or higher" Evoque though.... why not do it properly....

    Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most

    2015 TDV6 D4.... the latest project... Llams, Traxide, Icom 455, Tuffant Kimberleys and Mofos.... so far.
    2012 SDV6 SE D4 with some stuff... gone...
    2003 D2a TD5...gone...
    2000 D2 V8...gone...

    We've got one.

    It was bought as the bosses car, but I find excuses more and more often to drive it.
    It's the first auto we've ever owned, bought primarily cause of the low first gear (which has been dead handy), but we usually just drive it in sport mode on the console and use the paddles to change gears.
    Handles very well, great throttle response in sand mode and nicely weighted steering in Sport, I find Drive a bit to light.
    Rear window view is rubbish but compensated for by good vision using the mirrors and the rear view camera.

    Things that irk me. Since you have to pull the fob out of your pocket to open door, it should have a key to start it, so you always know where the fob is.
    The interior boot release has been inadvertently hit getting in and out of the car.
    The boot is tiny, but we knew that, and have another car to cover that situation.

    And thats it - I think its a fantastic drive. Its not a full off roader but its a great dirt road car and a genuine joy to drive.

    Certainly did... Have had 2 now...

    First one we had for 4 days and did a little over 3,000km while we had it - toured the Hills while in Adelaide, Clare valley on the way back to Whyalla and then back to Adelaide a couple of days later after a few more trips up here.

    The ride is firm and controlled yet not uncomfortable and the SD4 is a great little engine - plenty of poke...

    This is under decel (was at $1.80 moments earlier)... Tested on a private track...


    Yes, we would have one as the second vehicle (likely be the next one in the household).
