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.

Watch this - very impressive.

yes thats fine but the video is on ice and compacted snow...not what I would call deep snow.

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.

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

An easy way to 'beat' the Evoque, literally and metaphorically

Like you get in the UK or Alaska?

Like we got in Scotland last year!

Maybe normangt lives in the South East where .5 inches of snow results in total gridlock and chaos

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