Yes it's expensive — I'd love to drive an entry-level £28k 150bhp 2WD model when it comes out next year, just to see what you get for your money — but, for me it is a brilliantly packaged piece of kit. It also looks incredible and has stunning showroom visual appeal.

Of course there will be those who knock it as being simply a piece of over-stylised, over-priced automotive engineering. That's their view and they're entitled to it.

But believe me, the reality is if you have the money and want to not only make a statement, but drive a car which will turn heads, meet all your needs — oh, and comfortably cope with whatever next winter throws at us — then the Evoque's for you.
