It comes in 250GB and 500GB versions.

It is a spinning hard disc drive and so is susceptible to shocks, but it is also a "tough drive" and, allegedly, can be chucked down stairs, etc., without failing. Should handle itself fine with the smooth ride of the Evoque...

SSD is the best option here, you may want to search for a drive caddy that has USB connectivity that you can slot an SSD into... other drives with moving parts will not like the changes in direction or vibration that can be present when driving down the road ...
