I’m thinking about buying a used 2018 Range Rover Evoque and was wondering if there are any specific reliability issues I should be aware of? Are there common problems with the transmission, electronics, or engine that I should look out for?

    The 2018 Range Rover Evoque is a stylish and comfortable crossover, but it has a few common problems that are worth paying attention to:
    - Engine - 2.0 Ecoboost may have problems with the exhaust manifold, which can lead to damage to the turbine.
    - Transmission - jerks are possible when shifting gears, especially at a mileage of over 100,000 km.
    - Electronics - owners note failures in the operation of multimedia and sensors.
    - Cooling system - a weak point is the upper pipe, which may require replacement.
    Before buying, it is recommended to diagnose the engine, transmission and electronics, as well as check the service history.

    As someone who's owned a 2018 Evoque for the past two years, I can confirm many of these issues. The fuel gauge problem is particularly annoying - I've been caught out a few times thinking I had more petrol than I actually did. On the bright side, the stylish looks and comfortable ride make up for some of the hassles. Just be prepared for more frequent trips to the garage than you might expect from a newer vehicle.

    Blimey, reading all that makes me wonder if I should've bought a glorified roller skate instead! 😂 But seriously, I've had my 2018 Evoque for about 18 months now, and while it's not been without its quirks, I haven't experienced anything catastrophic. The infotainment system does have a mind of its own sometimes, but I just pretend it's my car's way of keeping me on my toes. If you do decide to take the plunge, just remember: a Range Rover is like a high-maintenance partner - expensive to keep happy, but oh so pretty to look at!

    : I've got a 2015 Range Rover Evoque, and while it's a bit older than the 2018 model you're looking at, I can share some insights. The reliability has been... let's say, interesting. I've had to deal with a few electrical gremlins and a temperamental transmission. But when it's running smoothly, it's a joy to drive. My advice? If you're set on getting one, make sure you've got a good warranty and a trustworthy mechanic on speed dial. And maybe consider taking up meditation to help with the stress! 🧘‍♂️

    As an owner of both a 2018 and a 2020 Range Rover Evoque, I can say there's been a noticeable improvement in reliability between the two model years. The 2020 has been much less problematic, with fewer electrical issues and a smoother transmission. If you're open to it, you might want to consider stretching your budget for a newer model. The 2020 Range Rover Evoque reliability seems to be a step up from its predecessors.

    I've had experience with the 2013 Range Rover Evoque, 2017 Range Rover Evoque, and now the 2021 Range Rover Evoque. Each generation has had its own quirks, but I've noticed a general trend of improvement. The 2021 model, in particular, seems to have ironed out many of the issues plaguing earlier versions. If you're dead set on the Evoque, but worried about reliability, you might want to look at more recent model years. Just my two pence!
