I maintain a configurator, and it's not clear whether or not this package includes the blind spot monitor with the 5-door. The Pure Premium and Dynamic Premium Packages are $400 less with the 5-door because they don't include this feature, but the Vision Assist Package is $1,900 with either body style.

@Mkaresh: I have a 5-door Dynamic Premium with the VA pkg, but no BSM. Dealer was clueless as to why the BS feature was not included, but subsequently advised that the BSM is only included on the coupe. However, I recently spotted a 5-door Dynamic at another stealership with the VA pkg and BSM.

There appears to be some discrepancy about the availability of the BSM feature on the 5-door and I'm pursuing this issue with LR. More to follow...will update any new developments.

Would strongly recommend nailing this item down if you're in the ordering process.

Thanks. I don't think the VA Package appear on the sticker if you have either the Dynamic or Pure Premium packages, as both include every VA feature except for BSM.

The thing that is confusing me is that the price of these packages is $400 lower for the 5-door to reflect this, but the VA package price is the same for both body styles when logically it should also be $400 lower if BSM is not included.

My suspicion: they had a parts shortage and decided that the Coupe needed the feature more.

i was on edmunds website and it said that that option was a late availability. so the early evoques didnt come with them. really dont need them for i change turn my head to change lanes plus the mirrors are big enough to angle little further out to see almost anything.

Funnily enough I am British but I have been living in Florida for a year now . I saw the Evoque and loved it, but did not want to wait for one, so never put a deposit. Last week I received a call from the dealer saying they had a black pure plus with almond interior and winter package (very useful in South Florida!).

I went to the dealer and two jours later drove away with the Evoque. I have had it now for a bit more than a week and I am totally happy with it. It drives like a dream! My only complaint (if you can call it a complaint) is that the radio / sat-nav / phone interface is slow, which is not a tragedy.

Anyway, I am very happy with my new Baby RR and so is my wife (which is not unimportant).

Best and happy holidays to everyone.
