Full WhatCar? Review now loaded plus the RRE is in the "compare 3 cars" bit...... but with no data yet

When it is it will be a good place to get a feel for its size and space.

BTW the red car in the photos on the WhatCar? site are probably the most representative of what the colour looked like under a grey Liverpudlian sky. Maybe it’s the Black accents that make it look like that - all I can say is that I don't know of any other car that has a red quite like it ........ except maybe the Alfa 8C.

A Nissan, Peugeot, and Volvo as suggested rivals. What a laugh.

That's what I was thinking too - you would have at least have thought that an Audi Q5 would be amongst them

BMW X1 would be my guess for the nearest competitor.

Interestingly I speced up an X1 and X3 to my exact spec and it came in with a price of £35.6K for the X1 and £40.2K for the X3 - Evoque = £37.6K

A Volvo XC60 maybe (too big and thirsty) .... I also looked at a V60

What about the Audi Q3 (when it's available), very similar size (except width) and should be very well spec'd but cheaper.

'Everything' on an Audi is an optional extra!

Starting price is expected to be around the £23k mark though, so you could buy a massive ammount of extras for the difference in cost (not that I would, but it's got to be one of their direct competitors, especially for people looking at the 5 door model)

Q3 will be an X1-killer, which I think is still slightly lower than an Evoque. You will never see things like a full leather dashboard in those two for instance.

Yes it should also be a natural competitor, when it's available, which it isn't so the X1 is it for the time being. Competition is good.
