Picture Request: side by side - DDX - 02-08-2011 06:59am
Are there any pictures of the Evoque 5dr parked next to any other vehicle?
Its so hard to gauge the size of the car from pictures and am worried i'll be dissapointed. In my head, im thinking freelander but shorter in height?

Well I was told that Evoque was Focus sized................. it looks bigger when you see it in the flesh even if the dimensions sheet says otherwise.

Dimensions on paper can be very deceiving.
Everyone keeps going on about how small the Evoque is but one thing I noticed is the very small, if in fact any depth of bumper on the Evoque compared to other vehicles. If you look at a Freelander, which is 4500mm and an Evoque which is 4365mm (dynamic) this is a difference of 135mm or 13.5cm. Now if you look at the different size of bumpers I wonder how much of this difference is there alone as the Evoque has very flat front and rear bumpers. Just the rear bumper on a Freelander is probably 10cm! I'm hoping this means that real life is more relavant than simple measurements. All you guys that have been on the unleashed events - what do you think??
I know you probably think this is very anal but I need every justification I can to convince my wife the car won't be too small for herself, me, the baby and the dog - especially when coming from a 2006 X5!!

It isn't much smaller than a freelander 2, obviously the roof is lower. I was out the other day checking the size of my drive because my fl2 sticks out a bit and the evoque will still stick out a bit. I'm sure there is a picture on this site of it parked next to a freelander.
Found it

Good point about the bumper protrusion. Thanks J77 for the photo. Just need to wait patiently for the opportunity to see one in the metal. As long as 2 kids can sit in the back and a buggy can fit in the boot we'll be alright!

DDX, it will work for you on that front - even a Coupe will happily take 2 kids in the back, whether they would be happy to spend a long journey in there or not I wouldn't want to speculate on though! There's enough room for a 6ft+ in the back of a Coupe in comfort and the boot is well big enough for a buggy

Thanks mate, the eldest is only 3 so they won't be too fussed about the size. Cant stop looking at youtube videos of the car. Falling more and more in love with it by the second.

I've got two young ones DDX and getting a coupe as love the shape. The Evoque is much much nicer than a Freelander, outside and definitely inside.
RE: Picture Request: side by side - DDX - 02-08-2011 02:22pm
I do prefer the Coupe's shape but the 5dr makes things easier with car seats, especially when i'll be driving it as I have a bad back.
RE: Picture Request: side by side - Charlie - 02-08-2011 02:41pm
Absolutely and we'll leave it there on the coupe/car seat discussion, don't think I can hack it all again
