The Range Rover Evoque is undeniably lovely to look at: strong, powerful, and streamlined. This leviathan motor is also versatile, swift, and manoeuvrable, making ithighly coveted by all who see it, but it’s got a whole lot more going for it than its aesthetic appeal.
Of course, all of these desirable qualities mean little when it comes to choosing a family car. Versatility and manoeuvrability have their uses, but comfort, safety, and space are more important still. Luckily, the Evoque scores highly in all of these regards, and that’s why we think it might just be the perfect family car…
Space
Family cars need to be spacious, especially when the children are still small, and family vehicles require surprisingly big interiors to accommodate such tiny little bodies. Thankfully, the Evoque manages to deliver. Like every car in the Range Rover range, it’s big, bountiful, and has space to spare, making it perfect for you, your partner, and the kids to all pile into.
Comfort
We all like our kids to be comfortable in the car, and most of us enjoy a little luxury ourselves. Range Rover is renowned for delivering in this regard, and like all of its opulent brethren, the Evoque offers soft seats to sink into, exquisite upholstery, and the gorgeous aesthetics that only the most masterful of manufacturers are able to offer.
Most Range Rovers are not renowned for their economical running costs, but the Evoque manages to be the exception to the rule. Costing a reasonable £30,000 to buy straight from the showroom, it is available for much less second-hand, and has the fuel efficiency to match. Thanks to the new and improved 150bhp 2.0-litre diesel engine introduced in the 2015 model, its fuel economy is really rather impressive, helping to push its road tax down to just £20 per year. This makes the stunning Evoque the most economical model in the entire Range Rover line-up.
Safety
Of course, the most important requirement for any family car is that it keeps those you love safe, and the Evoquescores exceptionally highly in this regard. Boasting the latest protective technology, it has parking sensors and parking assistance to help avoid knocks and scrapes, as well as an incredibly innovative and efficient off-road cruise-control system, to scan challenging terrain, and ensure that the car can manoeuvre rough ground safely and steadily.
If you want a car that ticks all of your boxes, then the Range Rover Evoque should be at the top of your list.
