Would be an interesting to see, especially with those low profile tyres....
I’ve done the Blue Rag track (north of Dargo) in a Wrangler some years ago and now wondering if, driven with care, an Evoque could get to the trig point without damage to the underbody in particular.
Has anyone actually gone off-road?.

Was up there a couple of weeks ago, and I wouldn't be surprised if you made it, so long as you pick the right line. But don't quote me on it...
I found this interesting YouTube
I think you would need to drive with some care due to ground clearance in spots... but pretty suspect you could get an Evoque to the trig without too much difficulty.

You could probably get a Huyundai Getz up there if you tried hard enough but it doesn't mean that it's a good idea.
The real issue here is the incorrect assumption that the Evoque is actually an off road 4WD.

Is low range essential on that trip? Could an Amarok without low range make it?
The gearing on the Evoque is definitely low enough for anything on Blue Rag. It's a spectacular track - but honestly not that hard.

Did blue rag the other week with Ranga......
From memory Hema rate it as an ‘M’......only being a newbie to VHC and only doing a M rated track prior I was expecting it to be tougher than what it was.....track was in pretty good condition.
Probably a good idea to have recovery points front and rear, not sure what’s in place from factory, given you are in VHC....just Incase you need a slight tug.
I don’t recall any high clearance areas, one set of wombat holes and some steep sections.
I just came back from high country with my D5 on low profile. Didn't want to but then didn't want to miss out on the trip. It went fine.20180425_091712.jpg
