This page covers 14 recalls and 46 owner complaints for the 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque.
For the 2020 Range Rover Evoque, the most consistent pattern owners describe centers on the electrical system and powertrain. Multiple owners report the vehicle losing power without warning, engine shutoff, instrument cluster going dark, and all electronics failing simultaneously while driving at highway or city speeds. In several accounts, the car becomes immovable and requires towing. A related stalling pattern shows up across multiple complaints: the engine cuts out at a complete stop, taking lights and other electronics with it, and requires a full ignition cycle to restart. Suspension complaints make up the next notable group, though the specific symptoms described vary. A smaller number of owners also report water intrusion, typically around the windshield and door seals, leading to pooling inside the cabin and heavy interior condensation. One isolated report describes a post-drive engine fire.

By System
The 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has 14 recalls, the most serious involving the mild-hybrid electrical system, where an overload in the 48-volt system can cause an electrical short that raises the risk of fire, and a separate issue where the DC/DC converter can cut drive power without warning.
Several recalls center on airbags and occupant protection. The covers on both the driver-side and passenger-side lower knee airbags can come loose, allowing the cushions to unfold inside the module so they may not deploy correctly in a crash. The front passenger airbag can tear during deployment, potentially directing hot gases toward occupants. A metal plate bonded to the headliner can detach in very cold temperatures and strike occupants when side curtain airbags deploy, and certain replacement second-row outer seatbelts may not function properly in a crash. A software error can cause the airbag warning light to illuminate falsely, which could mask a real airbag system fault. On the visibility side, the windshield washer fuse can fail, leaving the driver without front or rear washer function, and a software bug can cause the speedometer to randomly switch between MPH and KPH. Vehicles with 18-inch wheels may display an incorrect recommended tire pressure in the instrument cluster. Finally, front seats trimmed with "Dinamica" cloth can burn faster than regulations allow in a fire.
