Like many other Land Rover models the Evoque receives an infotainment overhaul for 2021. All Evoques now come standard with the brand's new Pivi Pro software interface, which is simpler to use and offers more modern features such as over-the-air update capability. A new Online Pack package is available and includes a wireless smartphone charging pad, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Spotify integration.
PROS Fashionable exterior, tailored interior appearance, brand-name recognition.
CONS Tight rear-passenger space, smaller-than-average cargo area, poor highway fuel economy.
The 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque sports a classy interior and solid off-road prowess, but its powertrain is mediocre, and passenger and cargo space are just so-so. This vehicle doesn't have an overall score or ranking because it hasn't been fully crash tested.
PROS Well-appointed cabin Capable off-roader
CONS Subpar fuel economy Small back seat Inconsistent transmission
Land Rover plays with a winning formula just enough. The Evoque remains a stylish, accomplished choice.
PROS It's still got the look, inside and out. Visual class is backed by road refinement
CONS Cramped for a crossover. Expensive
New Black Line Special Edition package
Pros Impressive off-road capability in a segment largely without it High seating position provides a good view of the road Easy-to-use interior controls
Cons High floor and side-hinged cargo door can make it hard to load cargo Uncomfortable seats Poor fuel economy and acceleration Rough ride on broken pavement
A Black Line Special Edition of the Lexus GX joins the lineup this year and comes with a host of blacked-out exterior trim, unique 18-inch wheels, a black interior headliner, and black faux-leather upholstery. The GX receives several new standard features for 2022, including a new, larger 10.3-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also newly standard this year is a parking assistant feature, in-dash navigation, and power-folding heated exterior mirrors. Lexus's desirable Nori Green paint color is now available as an option on the GX for the first time.
Pros Able to tackle off-road trails, plenty of standard driver-assistance features, surprisingly hushed cabin.
Cons Uncomfortable rear seats, lacks cargo space with third row in use, dated design.
