My Evoque can do everything that my Freelander can offroad. It's just that appearances can deceive. The Freelander looks hardier, but they can both cope very well with arduous conditions. Although the Freelander 2013 model appears more luxurious inside, I'm not sure that the materials used will last as well as the previous 2010 to 12 models. Still very very good though.

Having driven both a 2013 Freelander 2 HSE and a 2013 Evoque Prestige, I'd say the Freelander is more practical, better off road and a good vehicle while the Evoque is better on road and feels more luxurious (hence the RR badge).
Not sure about the better off road comment. They both have the same running gear and the Evoque has a half inch more ground clearence.

+1 recently did the LR offroad experience and the instructor said that there is very little difference in terms of off road ability between the two other than marginally better exit and entry angles on the FL2 but better ground clearance on the Evoque. TBH after seeing what the Evoque can do I would be amazed if anything we mere mortals could throw at it would trouble it!
