Im worried

I'm a bit worried about the evoques performance in the snow. Do you think he was using the "snow setting"? On some video's you do see it handle well.

However when you watch this



at 1:59 onwards

Its a bit dissapointing considering my current Panda can do this:

Not sure you are comparing apples to apples.

RE: Im worried

If you are worried about snow performance for the 5 days a year we get snow that shuts down the road network in Scotland then stick with the Panda or buy an RRS and fit proper snow tyres. Land Rover are not marketing the Evoque as a go anywhere SUV they are marketing it as a car, as opposed to an SUV, with some versions having 4WD. I don't recall seeing anything claiming any radical offroad performance from LR - all the ads I have seen show it on city streets.

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: Im worried

You find out why it gets stuck at 1:45 ... the RRS has winter tyres and the RRE has summer tyres.

A FWD 1.0l Vx Nova with proper winter tyres will out drive a FFRR with all-season tyres in the snow. (within reason)

The should have stuck and old defender in the test Twisted Evil

I thought gridlock and chaos was a nationwide thing in the event of even a dusting of snow!
