Five Door in the metal ?

Anyone seen a 5 door in the metal yet ?

I'm curious what it'll be like, but have a feeling it's going to be smaller than I expect. Which could be a good thing.

We (well, my wife drives it) has a Skoda Yeti at the moment and we really like it. I'm guessing it's going to be a similar size ?

I used to have a FFRR (08 Vogue SE) but sold it as it was only being used for commuting. And it was far too expensive to own/run just to drive to work.
We couldn't use it weekends as parking the thing in any car park was a PITA, unless you liked climbing out through the tailgate. So we always took the Skoda.

I bought a run-about but keep thinking about a 5 door Evoque...

There's one here Fox [Image: RR%20Evoque%20050111.jpg]

For a BABY Range Rover it look bigger than I expected.

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.

Thanks Tim.

The 3 door is nicer. But it could be the angle of the photo giving it a large rear end.

I think I'll need to see it in person before considering spending £40k(ish?)

Fox, have you surfed over to the main Land Rover website and clicked on the Evoque section on there, there is a very basic build configurator on that and you can see 3 and 5 door versions in the various colours and with the various wheel designs, then you can rotate the picture to see the car from various angles. I think it's amazing how different the two body styles look yet they are both the same dimensions - IMHO the 3 door looks much crisper, although I usually buy 4/5 door cars this could be my first 3 door since I owned a Volvo 480ES way back in the 1980's!

I agree Tim, 3 door is nicer. But it'll make loading the baby (and baby seat) a pain. Smile

Ah yes I understand the need for a 5 door now! Babies soon grow up into passengers that can clamber in and out of the back seat though

He is only 19 months. Think I still need a 5 door for some years yet... Laughing
