The Smallest Range Rover Ever The L538 Evoque, introduced in 2011, was the smallest and lightest Range Rover at the time, designed for urban luxury and off-road capability.
Inspired by the LRX Concept The Evoque's design was directly based on the Land Rover LRX concept car (2008), which introduced the coupe-like SUV styling that made the Evoque stand out.
Available in Three Body Styles The Evoque L538 was sold as a 5-door SUV, a 3-door coupe, and a convertible—making it the first-ever convertible Range Rover.
Efficient Turbocharged Engines It was available with 2.0L turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines, including Ford EcoBoost-based petrol engines and later Jaguar Land Rover's own Ingenium engines.
Off-Road Capabilities Despite Its Urban Focus The Evoque retained Land Rover’s Terrain Response system, giving it impressive off-road capability, with water-wading depth of 500mm and an optional all-wheel-drive system.
A Luxury Interior with High-Tech Features The Evoque came with high-quality leather, real wood trim, and a floating center console, as well as advanced technology like Meridian sound systems and dual-view touchscreens.
Victoria Beckham Designed a Special Edition Land Rover released a limited-edition Evoque in 2012, designed by fashion icon Victoria Beckham, featuring matte grey paint, gold accents, and a unique interior.
Award-Winning Design The Evoque received over 200 awards worldwide, including the 2012 World Design Car of the Year, for its sleek, futuristic styling and urban appeal.
Highly Customizable Buyers could choose from over 16 exterior colors, multiple roof options, and personalized trims, making it one of the most customizable SUVs on the market.
One of Land Rover’s Best-Selling Models The Evoque became an instant success, with over 750,000 units sold in its first six years, making it one of Land Rover's best-selling vehicles ever.

The Evoque L538 is Land Rover’s stylish compact SUV, blending premium design with mild-hybrid tech.
Known for its Terrain Response 2 system and upscale interior, it’s a city-friendly SUV with occasional off-road chops.

3. Where to Buy in the EU?
Official Channels
Land Rover Approved Used (best for warranty coverage).
Lease returns (often at Jaguar Land Rover dealers).

Ex-rental Evoques: Often have hidden curb rash.
5. Must-Do Checks
🔧 Mechanical
Transmission jerks? (ZF 9-speed issues if fluids neglected).
Hybrid battery test (PHEVs should deliver ~40km real-world electric range).
📄 Paperwork
Verify "InControl Pro" subscription status (lapsed? €600/yr renewal).
Check for outstanding recalls (common for fuel pumps/software).
Fun Fact:
The Evoque’s floating roof design was inspired by a yacht—making it the only SUV with a "nautical" trim option!
