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
Pros Plenty of cargo space Upscale interior design and materials Distinctive styling and paint color choices add personality
Cons Front seats aren't very comfortable for long drives Less than athletic handling
For the Seltos's sophomore year, it gains a host of driver-assistance features as standard, including automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlamps. The larger 10.3-inch infotainment screen is now standard on more of the Seltos's trim levels, and all but the LX trim now come with automatic climate control and remote start; the top-spec SX receives a flat-bottomed steering wheel and a new Plum interior color scheme. The Nightfall Edition is new to the lineup this year and features unique black-painted 18-inch aluminum wheels and blacked-out exterior trim.
Pros Roomier cabin than other subcompact SUVs, slick infotainment features, engaging driving dynamics.
Cons Stiff-legged ride over bumpy surfaces, optional seven-speed automatic occasionally stumbles, base powertrain could use some refinement.
