I took delivery of my LR Disco Sport today and hence the Evoque has gone. The reason for change is that we want something a bit larger with more luggage room. We tried a RRS which was excellent but really didn't feel it justified a £25k premium over a DS. We had the Evoque for 2 years 9 months and 34k miles.
During that time it has been completely reliable and rattle free. The only times we have returned to the dealer has been for service and to order the new car. My only quibble has been disappointing fuel consumption although that has been improved in the 9 speed version.
First impressions of the DS are excellent; the 9 speed auto is really good whilst the car rides rather better than the Evoque. That's probably down to the longer wheelbase and revised rear suspension. Loads of room inside the car and boot area. Otherwise its not so different from the Evoque, a good thing. First run of 78 miles returned 40.3 mpg so very much in line with other consumption figures for 9 speed SD4 vehicles.
