Range Rover Evoque 2017

FROM
$24,090

The 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque range of configurations is currently priced from $17,999.

Our most recent review of the 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque resulted in a score of 7.4 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Deputy Editor James Cleary had this to say at the time: The Evoque is cool, classy and fun. It's well equipped, properly screwed together, and age hasn't taken the edge of its still dramatic looks. And if we had to pick a sweet spot, it's the five door in SE grade with the Td4 180 engine. Great performance, lots of standard equipment, and a relatively modest price.That said, the range as a whole isn't exactly cheap, and option prices add up quickly. But as the old saying goes, quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, and when time does finally catch up with this first generation Evoque, it will be a tough act to follow.

Range Rover Evoque 2017 FAQs

Timing belt change interval for a 2013 Land Rover Evoque 4-cylinder diesel?

When this car was new, the recommended change interval for the timing belt was nine years or 230,000km which is an awfully long interval by industry standards. In some markets, this figure was reduced to seven years and 180,000km, which is still a long interval, but much more sensible.

If it was my Land Rover, I’d be changing it even sooner, probably at 150,000km at the outside, just to be certain, as a snapped belt will turn the engine to junk in a split-second. While you’re at it, take the opportunity to change the water pump and idler pulleys while the front of the engine is apart. It’s better than having to go back and disassemble the same part of the engine a few months later when the water pump starts leaking.

Acceleration issues in my 2013 Range Rover Evoque SD4

The reason the scan threw up a camshaft phasing problem is because the belt has stripped and allowed the camshaft timing to become way out of synch. This is also why the engine lost power and wouldn’t restart in the first place.

Simply replacing the timing belt won’t fix it, as the engine’s original camshaft timing has to be restored for the engine to ever fire again. There’s a specific method to do this, but pretty much any mechanic will be able to retime the camshaft and get you going again.

If the engine is retimed and still won’t fire, there’s a chance the stripped belt has allowed internal damage to the engine which may need a full rebuild. You could be looking at bent valves, cracked pistons and more.

Range Rover Evoque as a work car?

Who told you a luxury car can't be a work car? If that's what you really want then you should go for it. You will probably turn it over faster but I've not heard anything about the Evoque that is a particular concern.
