So the initial answer to your value-for-money question is a huge NO! ...... but my family have had series 1, 2, 3, Ninety landrovers, Disco 1, Disco 2, Disco 4 and now an Evoque, typically keeping them for 10 years, covering around 100,000miles [including two 180,000 examples] .......and the long term Value-for-money question is a resounding YES!

My spec EVO has many options as I intend to keep the car long term, works out at 5k per year for 10 years. I do not expect any residual value at the end of it, still I think the car is not worth that amount.
Not comparing it to any other vehicle, but the starting price for a family 5 seater is 10k, so really another almost 40k for looks, brand name and additional extras is certainly not good value but, for 10 years with a pleasant drive with luxury extras in a reliable motor, then perhaps it will end up being worth it.

So for me it comes down to having 5 cheap new cars & no trimmings within 10 years, or having a high spec EVO
for the same time. If the EVO proves to be reliable and servicing costs are reasonable throughout the duration I Will have made the right choice and think, yep that was good value.

10years is a long time for a car. Our cars might be flying in the air in 2022!

FYI, Evoque servicing is cheaper than a Freelander ... by a fair bit I think. I suppose freshly designed technology .))

really? I was quite shocked at the price my dealer quoted me for the first service on the evoque. £400 certainly isnt cheap in my book. Not when a LR franchise that just does repairs/servicing quotes half that price.

My Evoques service plan is £8 a month more than my Fl2 was, and that was with money already in the pot, probably now getting service plan offers which make it cheaper but was originally dearer.

RE: Is the Evoque value for money?

Well imagine you loose immediately that moment you leave the showroom about 5000,-. And in 3 years you will lose 50% off the price, and anonther 3 years later you will loose 25% off the new price. So after 6 years the car is worth only 25% anymore.ConfusedShocked

and yes, a nice color, navi, aircon, leather will help selling, but most extras you bought will not give a better price.

a 6y car is a 6y car in the trade, and there are so many of them....

On order: SD 5d Pure , Fuji White, Ebony leather, 18" style 2, Clear View Pack, Tech Pack, Tow bar, spare wheel, Satnav: what does a man need more....

LR at Melton Mowbray quoted a cheaper service plan for RRE than my outgoing FL .. about 20pc.
