Buyers cross shopping between the new Range Rover Evoque and BMW X2 are looking at two different answers to the same question: What is a rakish-looking, almost coupe-like crossover that is striking to behold, fun to drive and posh to sit in? Theyre about the same size, even though the Evoque looks bigger because it is more squared off, but they actually provide a very different experience for driver and occupants. Firstly, the X2 feels like a very well sorted hatchback to drive, and you can throw it into corners with a fair bit of confidence. On the other hand, it is pretty much useless off-road going over anything more severe than a potholed country road. The Range Rover Evoque is decent to drive on tarmac, but its only average in this respect, however, it wipes the floor with the X2 when it comes to any kind of tougher off-roading. They look and feel different and also address different buyers with different needs, even though they will be cross shopped and compared against one another. The fact of the matter is, theyre so different, its quite possible that somebody who really likes one, will absolutely hate the other. It probably all boils down to where and how you want to use it, although realistically very few buyers will actually take advantage of the Evoques off-road qualities, and just potter around the city in it, an application where the X2 is probably better.
