SD4 Pure TECH 190 Automatic 5dr SUV
As good as it looks...
Bought the Evoque having had two Jaguar XF's and wanting to downsize within the JLR "family"...no Jag XE available yet! After nearly 6 months and four thousand miles the car has been faultless. Yes there are one or two minor trim rattles which come and go but, after running an XF, I am used to that. Performance and handling particularly with the new 9 speed gearbox is exceptional for a 4x4 and economy of above 40 mpg easily achievable if you don't go mad. Ride is quite firm even on 18" wheels so I would avoid larger rims unless you are going to specify Magnaride on a higher spec model. I have not taken it far off road but had a recent half day Land Rover Experience at Eastnor Castle in a LR owned Evoque and was staggered how capable it was in difficult conditions. I am now hoping that I can actually get off our drive if it snows this winter...unlike the XF which was completely useless! In terms of extras on the Pure Tech I would recommend as a minimum the Panoramic roof, front fogs, spare wheel...and Xenon headlights if you can. Running costs look to be competitive particularly if you buy a five year service pack for £499.
