![]() ![]() The car it was replacing was a turbo diesel SUV and I wanted to keep the torque that you get from a diesel-powered vehicle too. I wanted something stylish, and as I am in my late 50’s I could afford something a little more special than I have had in the past. I bought this car because my commute to / from work is 166kms return, so I wanted a comfortable economical ride with the visibility that you only get from an SUV. I’d be confident taking it further than anything else in its class. ![]() We’ve done some light off-roading and it’s very confidence-inspiring, the low traction launch works really well and it makes getting driving in sand and mud really easy to do. It’s currently using around 7L/100km in combined driving without being too careful, which I think is impressive for the size of the thing. The Meridien sound is excellent and using CarPlay on the huge screen is extra handy. It’s incredibly smooth and quiet as well, 4 passengers would be really comfortable for a long trip, but if you’re going to be carrying people in the back for long journeys I’d definitely option the panoramic sunroof otherwise the smaller rear windows could make it a bit claustrophobic.

My only real regret would be not going to the D240SE having gone from a long run of performance cars I could use the extra grunt. Definitely the most theatrical delivery process I’ve ever had! I think the D180SE was a good buy in terms of balanced performance and economy, having driven several petrol variants now I’m glad I did. I bought it new at the end of 2019 and found the buying process really pleasant. I fell in love with the Evoque at first sight and knew I had to have one the moment I saw the flush-mount door handles come out the first time (typical male). ![]()
