2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque problems: engine and transmission complaints and recalls
39% of relevant owner complaints on the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque are about the engine, transmission or fuel system. That is elevated. Worth an independent inspection before you commit to one.
Better than 55% of the 1,790 model years we track (2010–2023).
Excludes 8 airbag, lighting and seat-belt recall complaints that would otherwise mask the signal (unadjusted: 37%).
Does the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque have engine problems?
More than most. The pattern is elevated rather than severe. 48 of 122 relevant complaints filed with NHTSA about the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque concern the engine, transmission or fuel system (39%), and the largest group is filed under engine (29). For comparison, the 2014 scores 54% and the 2016 scores 20%. On a test drive, check for stalling, loss of power, rough idle, oil consumption or a check-engine light. This describes the model year, not any one car: a well-maintained or already-repaired example can be fine, and a clean model year can still have a bad car in it.
