Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque gets a new lease on life this year with a good powertrain upgrade that helps it stay competitive. Of course, its looks help too.

Pros
Stunning exterior shape
Better powertrain this year
Power bump on top trims
One of the few SUV convertibles on the road

Cons
for good reason
Not all that practical
Aged structure
Cramped rear seat

By:

The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque ranked #6 in Luxury Subcompact SUVs. Currently the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has a score of 7.7 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 48 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Excellent off-roader
Powerful engines
Agile handling
High-quality cabin

Cons
High price
Below-average fuel economy
Jerky transmission

By: 
usnews.com

For 2018, the Evoque's biggest updates happen under the hood. The new base engine is slightly less powerful than last year's model, but the Evoque now offers a higher-output, 286-horsepower version as an option on some trim levels. The two-door coupe has been discontinued, though the convertible remains.

PROS
Striking exterior and interior design
Available convertible variant is the only one of its kind
Fun to drive

CONS
Premium pricing compared to subcompact competitors
Not a lot of backseat space
Limited visibility, especially for the convertible

By: 
edmunds.com

The 2020 Kia Sorento comes with front wheel drive, and all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 8-speed shiftable automatic, 6-speed shiftable automatic.Lightly refreshed bumpers and exterior lighting.EX Sport and SX Limited trims dropped.

PROS
Convenient size should fit many families
Ample feature content for the money
Stylish and quiet interior
Extra-long warranty coverage

CONS
Less cargo space than other three-row models
Third-row seat is strictly for kids
Lackluster acceleration even from the V6 engine

By: 
edmunds.com

The 2020 Kia Sorento skimps on third-row seating, but in all other respects it’s a more than respectable crossover SUV.

Pros
Upmarket feel inside and out
Terrific ride quality
Responsive, natural steering
Strong value and warranty
Solid, quiet feel

Cons
Second row sits too low
Don’t bother with the base engine
Mediocre fuel economy

By: 
thecarconnection.com

Changes are minimal on the 2020 Kia Sorento. There are modest styling updates front and rear, and Kia has consolidated the trim levels and packaging on V-6 models. The ritzy SX Limited and its lofty price are gone, but the one-step-down SX provides most of the important content. The standard navigation system on SX models now includes an integrated modem that allows you to control certain vehicle functions remotely and can notify you if you inadvertently leave a kid in the back seat.

Pros
Simple interior layout, agreeable driving experience, seating for seven in a mid-size body.

Cons
Difficult-to-access third row, numb steering, some safety features limited to upper trims.
