Overview

2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

The 2015 Range Rover Evoque blends Range Rover's signature luxury with a compact, stylish package. This all-wheel-drive SUV offers a premium interior and a distinctive design, aiming for a blend of urban maneuverability and off-road capability. However, potential buyers should be aware of its reliability record, which is marked by a significant number of technical service bulletins and a notable recall concerning the automatic transmission.

Critical Failure Risk

A recall (16V614000) addressed potential insufficient crimps in the transmission wire harness, leading to unexpected shifting into neutral. While the recall aimed to mitigate this, underlying transmission control module issues can persist.

Early detection can help you avoid a $1,500-$3,500 repair.
