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
The 2021 BMW X6 trades some of the X5’s utility for a fashion moment, but doesn’t miss a performance beat.
Pros Distinct shape Better look Impressive performance Available twin-turbo V-8 power
Cons Cramped rear head room Expensive Not as practical as an X5 Big rear blind spots
The 2021 X6 lineup adds some new standard features, drops some old ones, and gets revised option packages. The most notable new addition is Android Auto, which was previously not available and now comes standard. However, BMW eliminates previous options such as the acoustic glass, glass interior controls, rear-entertainment system, and night vision with pedestrian detection. The six-cylinder X6 now features a 48-volt hybrid system, and the V-8-powered version adds standard remote start and ventilated front seats.
Pros Smooth and speedy powertrains, athletic handling and refined ride quality, f ulfills luxury mission.
Cons Unintuitive infotainment interface, X5 has a bigger cargo area, V-8 upgrade requires a significant investment.
Minor changes to feature availability and option packages for 2021.
Pros Strong acceleration from both engines Comfortable and quiet ride High-quality interior
Cons Sloping roofline cuts down on cargo space Rear visibility is less than ideal Limited rear headroom
