Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 1st Generation (L538)

2012–2019 · L538 · suv

First-generation Evoque on the L538 platform. 2.0L turbo Ford-derived four-cylinder / 2.0L Ingenium turbo I4 (later cars) / 2.2L TD4 diesel. 3-door coupe and 5-door body styles (3-door dropped 2018). The Convertible variant (2016-2018) was a unique entry in the luxury-soft-top SUV space. Designed by Gerry McGovern; aggressive sloping roofline.

Watch out: 2.0L Ford-derived early engines: timing-chain wear at high mileage. Later Ingenium 2.0L: oil-pump and coolant-system concerns on early production. ZF 9-speed automatic (early Evoques) had widely reported shift-quality complaints — many software updates issued. Convertible: soft-top mechanism and rear seal wear. Generally less reliable than larger Range Rovers due to higher production volumes and shared components.
