Setting in the Rain?
What would be the best setting to use while driving in the rain?
( & for light snow showers that mixes with rain? )

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.

Not if you have auto on wipers on............... four rapid sweeps of wipers and the head/tail lights come on automatically!

When I did my landrover experience the instructor said when ever it was raining or there was a lot of standing water I should use the snow mode ( the one next to standard) as it give the car more stability.

RE: Setting in the Rain?
So you'd put it in grass/gravel/snow mode for driving in the rain on a motorway at 70mph...
Twisty, Treacherous country back roads in heavy rain with leaves, puddles and a slippy surface, then Yes.
But I've never needed 4wd in the rain let alone Snow mode for extra stability, standard Diff stability control on most cars (incl Evoque) is all you need, and if you need it... try slowing down before you kill someone.
