What 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque owners say
Engine & cooling
Vehicle is experiencing the same malfunction as was recalled on 2019 and 2020 Range Rover Evoque's for "excessive engine cooling fan noise in the passenger compartment and eventual degradation of the engine cooling system performance." After several minutes of operation, the engine cooling fan begins running at an abnormally loud volume and despite adequate engine temperature levels, does not stop running until operation of the vehicle has ceased. After much research regarding this issue I have found it to be apparent in several Jaguar and Land Rover vehicle models apart from the 2019 and 2020 Range Rover Evoque. One such consumer stated the fan spun in such excess that it dislodged and powered through the front hood of the vehicle which could have resulted in serious bodily harm. …
purchased a 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque from Car Choice in Carrollton, Texas in October 2025. Shortly after purchase, I discovered the vehicle was sold in an unsafe and non-roadworthy condition. The vehicle had NO rear brake pads present at the time of sale, creating an immediate and serious safety hazard. In addition, the wheels cannot be removed due to a missing wheel lock key, preventing proper servicing of the braking system. Additional defects include a coolant system leak, windshield washer fluid leak, and an inoperative sunroof. The dealership informed me the vehicle only passed an emissions inspection and did not undergo a safety inspection. These safety-related defects were not disclosed prior to sale. Had I known the vehicle lacked rear brake pads, I would not have purchased it. …
Electrical system
Significant safety defect in 2018 Range Rover Evoque Convertible regarding water ingress, documented in JLR Technical Bulletin LTB01227NAS1. Design flaws in the A-pillar and rear drainage channels allowed water to flood the interior, saturating the primary electrical wiring harness and destroying electronic modules, including the convertible top lift motor. Despite attempted repairs, the vehicle has a "parasitic battery drain," indicating permanent moisture-induced damage the dealer cannot resolve after 60+ days. SAFETY RISK: Saturated chassis-level wiring creates an imminent risk of short circuits and electrical fire. Since the flooding, the vehicle has displayed random warning lights (ABS, Traction, Transmission), signaling system instability. The battery's inability to hold a charge suggests constant, unintended electrical flow through compromised circuits. …
When I reverse in cold outside temperatures there is a very loud squealing noise. When turning wheel slowly left or right there is a loud grinding noise that gets louder when pressing the gas. When I turn the heater on over 2 notches a loud buzzing whistling sound gets louder the higher I turn the heater on. I have taken it to Land Rover and they tell me they couldn't find anything wrong but there is definitely something wrong.
