ANALYSISHow safe is the 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque?
The 2020 Range Rover Evoque presents a significant safety concern with its federal recall record. Thirteen distinct recall campaigns address issues ranging from multiple restraint system components, including two separate knee bolster recalls and a passenger air bag tear risk, to a critical electrical propulsion defect. This propulsion issue is severe enough to warrant a park-outside or do-not-drive warning, underscoring the immediate risk to owners who have not yet had the remedy performed. The 48 unverified owner complaints, 16 of which pertain to the Electrical System and two of which allege fire, corroborate the pattern of concern established by the recalls. Without crash-test results from this model year or related years, a comprehensive safety assessment is incomplete. The accumulated impact of these issues places the 2020 Range Rover Evoque in the Heavy burden band.
