Charlie, I agree with you in so far as I think it's wrong to say that the Evoque isn't suitable for families. I think it would make a good family car.

That said, the single, possibly childless, young purchaser (relative to other RR purchasers at least) is clearly the target market here.

Don't see why it would be. Like I said, if you need daily access to rear seats and you order a coupe car (any kind of coupe) then you're not the smartest sandwich at the picnic.

Evoque is not aimed at families, it's aimed at current drivers of the likes of top end Minis and Audi TTs... They, like me, are likely to be childless, and rarely carrying passengers, and therefore entirely unconcerned with the mechanism for getting people into the back of their Evoque coupe!

What a narrow minded opinion if you ask me, the Evoque is not aimed at families, are you having a laugh? And of course when you have kids there is no way you can have a 3 door car or the Evoque has a boot so small you can't fit a pram in? What planet are you on?

If LR is relying on the likes of young single 'girls' that their Daddy buys it for, they'd be in big trouble.

Completely agree, there are enough struggling families who make do with a Ford Fiesta and still manage to get all the kids in, plus get from A to B. I think the car is fine and has been designed with a broader customer demographics than suggested.

The 5 door is aimed at families, but the coupe would be the wrong choice(IMHO) for couples with very small children/babies.

The only 3 door I've owned was an RS Focus but that had a huge boot and rear access was ok... But it was a pain in the Arse hVing to get out when picking someone up and for that reason hVe always had 4 or 5 door cars since.

Each to their own though.

Which was exactly my point in response to those moaning about the coupe's electric sliding seats. It comes down to common sense, if you buy the coupe then you will find you're having more trouble filling the rear bench than if you had bought the five door. Obvious I would have thought.

Incidentally, nowhere did I say I was single, young nor that anyone was buying anything for me. I simply said I was childless and therefore a perfect candidate for the COUPE, hence why I went for the COUPE.

ETA, as I also work in the industry I know for a fact that the Evoque target demographic is not families, but in fact young, single women. However, obviously, as with everything, that doesn't mean anyone in the world can't like it and find a space for it in their lives. I simply said it wasn't designed for families, which is true if you look at other cars from Land Rover which are designed for that demographic. Alright?

Don't think the boot is small. 550+ litres

Again, I'm sure (hope) that LR are reading all these blogs and will be running around fixing things on our every word!

What has happened to EvoqueExpert and EvoqueMaker - both v quiet of late.

if you needed anymore evidence that LR are reading these pages look no further than the disappearance of our 2 advisors. It shows their real customer commitment.
