What do you think of the Evoque Cross-Coupe Range Rover? Is it worth the money?
I was just wondering what your thoughts are on the Evoque Cross-Coupe Range Rover five-door version. Also at £35,000, and being slightly smaller than the Freelander, is it worth the money? Or is there something similar you would recommend for 2012?

I’ve yet to drive an Evoque, and I’d be wary of any description of it as a ‘fuel-efficient 4x4’. The most fuel efficient version is 2x4. Meanwhile, my money's on the new F25 BMW X3 4WD. It's excellent. Decent economy, decent performance, decent handling and decent size. Definitely top of the class. Test and video here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/bmw/bmw-x3-f25
And don’t forget the Mitsubishi Outlander/Citroen C Crosser/ Peugeot 4007, all of which share the Evoque’s engine and can give 45mpg.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.

Bigger than original Freelander. 2.2-litre belt cam diesel. Incredibly good off-road. Robust interior. More fuel efficient 2WD model from 2011 with no rear diff to fail.
