Colour Choice.

I've had the cirrus grey on my first Evoque and loved it, now on my second black interior all have had the Pano roof. Go black and if you can get the black headliner as well.

Somewhere in the North Sea.

I've gone for black interior including the gloss dash trim, externally it's gonna be back aswell. Really wanted the black pack but at 2,500 it pushes me over budget [emoji24]

RE: Colour Choice.

Trapdoor how did you manage to open the pano roof - OK so it was a loaner and anything is possible with them, but then it might not have been an Evoque either!

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Colour Choice.

I think on the SE models because of the black plastic lower trim a slightly darker colour looks better. Firenze red or Kaikoura stone if you don't want to pay extra. Waitomo grey if you dont mind paying extra. If you're going for a black interior I would get the pano roof as it really helps brighten up the inside. I would have preferred a Cirrus interior in mine but I bought used and couldn't find one at the time and ended up with black leather.

RE: Colour Choice.

I would never have any interior colour other than a deep grey or black (prefer a charcoal colour)/

A nice cream interior v a pair of damp denim jeans leaching the indigo blue onto your precious seats. No thanks been there done that IMO a right PITA.

RE: Colour Choice.

I have to agree that the choice of colours is appalling.
There are no decent bright colours, where has maurtius blue gone for instance?

We just collected a new Evoque having had a real problem choosing a colour - wife wanted the mauritius blue as before, but they dont do it anymore, only other light colours were white, silver or red, but we chose the kaikura stone which looks good in SE Tech spec with the gloss black trim, black interior and black headlining which we chose as the cream headlining in the previous car showned too many fingerprints after 5 years. And yes FullFatTim we have the pano roof which makes a difference.
We also have black roof bars and I might get the roof wrapped black yet.......

But talking with the dealer apparently the new Velar is coming through with a very wide range of colours, you may have to pay for them, but at least you will be able to choose them and he said it will probably filter down to the Evoque in time too.

Estoril blue would have been nice!!!!

RE: Colour Choice.

I keep reading that Waitomo has a brownish cast, but, having got that colour myself, I have to say that most of the time it looks bluish. In dull weather, however, it just looks....well, dull, like flat grey paint (some people even think it looks like primer). I certainly wouldn't have it again, and wish I'd gone for Corris or Carpathian.

For those considering it I'd recommend you see it in the flesh first.

RE: Colour Choice.

Well after changing my mind 3 times I decided on Loire Blue.

The reason behind it is the Corris Grey to me was just a bit boring. Around here all RR Evoques are either white or grey. So I've gone different.

After seeing the blue in the flesh I was sold. It looks amazing when clean and in the right light. Plus I think it makes the grey and black detailing a lot more prominent (range rover badge on the Bonnet (hood) and boot (trunk) look loads better I think!)

My last day to make amendments was a few days ago so hopefully things should progress. It's built date isn't to the 5th of April...... Hopefully and with any luck they might be ahead of schedule! Haha as I can't wait now!
