What happens when these parts fail
Across the named modes, 2 mention a crash. Those are the words owners used in their own complaints, and NHTSA does not verify them, but they are the closest thing in this data to a measure of what a failure actually did.
The average severity weight across every report on this year is 3.98, where a stalled engine or a failed airbag weighs many times more than a rattling trim panel, and a figure this high means the reports are dominated by failures with safety consequences rather than annoyances. The weighting is set out in full on the methodology page.
What the top failures cost to put right, as editorial estimates for an independent US shop rather than figures from NHTSA: other engine problem at $300–$4,000, other electrical problem at $250–$2,000, other fuel system problem at $300–$2,200 and other speed control problem at $250–$2,000. Dealer labour, a seized bolt or a part that is no longer made can push any of these past the top of its range.
20% of the reports on this year sit in the engine, transmission, drivetrain or cooling systems — the four where a repair bill is usually four figures.

Rate per 1,000 uses a fleet-size estimate derived from recall paperwork for this exact model year. It is a lower bound. Repair costs are typical independent-shop ranges for the failure, not figures from these reports.
How often, against how many were built
Scaled by an estimate of how many of these cars exist, the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque draws about 12 per 1,000 vehicles, which puts it in the 91st percentile of complaint rates among 2013 vehicles we can rate.
That denominator is the weakest number on the page and it is fair to say so plainly. Rate per 1,000 uses a fleet-size estimate derived from recall paperwork for this exact model year. It is a lower bound.
The working figure is 5,068 vehicles. If the true number is twice that, every rate on this page is half what it says; the ranking against other 2013 vehicles, which is what the risk score uses, is far more robust than the rate itself.

Other engine problem
Engine misfires causing car to lose power and go into 'restricted mode'. This is very dangerous. It happened at high speed, making it very unsafe to pull over to the side of the highway - almost causing a multiple vehicle accident. Taken to dealer 3 times and they have not resolved the issue. Informed landrover usa about my concerns and they have not been helpful - saying take the vehicle back to the dealer and pay an additional $380 for diagnostics after already paying them $200 as the car is no longer under warranty. Vehicle has $59,250 miles. Other evoque owners also experience similar problems.
Vehicle has just over 50,000 miles , warranty expires at 50,000. Looking on the internet I found that the 2013-2015 models of this car has had hundreds of problems with the turbo which goes out before and after 50,000 mile ,most of the time land rover will not cover always blaming the consumer , I found well over a million hits on the internet concerning this problem , but land rover refuses to do a recall, car actually loses all power and stops dead anywhere when it blows , if you go on the internet you'll see a club that formed in england concerning this , there are literally thousands of complaints on the faulty turbo's on the engine on the 2013-2015 range rover evoques,. Land rover n.a. Customer service actually blamed me for not doing oil changes , which I have all receipts , social media has hundreds of pages relating to the evoques turbo failures, also consumer affairs has several pages on the range rover evoques engine and turbo problems and failures , why hasnt the u sgovermnent forced a recall on this serious safety issue, like I previously stated , this happens when I vehicle was on the interstate , I read where one…
Other electrical problem
Tl- the contact owns a 2013 land rover evoque. The contact stated that the vehicle's transmission was switched to park with the engine turned on before exiting the vehicle with a passenger in the front passenger seat. The contact stated that he pressed a remote button to open the bay door to the building and as the door began to move up the vehicle suddenly began to move forward. The contact indicated that the vehicle's roof made contact with the bay door as it moved into the building and continued moving through the building before crashing into an office wall. The contact indicated the vehicle was traveling approximately 7 MPH. After the vehicle crashed into the office wall the contact was able to enter the vehicle and press the stop button which shut the engine off. No injuries were reported during the incident. A police report was taken at the scene. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The failure mileage was 5000. Jft
I was stopped at a stop light with my foot on the brake pedal. Suddenly the engine RPM went to wide open throttle. I mashed on the brake as hard as I could but the vehicle kept going forward. My son was in the car in front of me and even though his windows were closed as it is cold he heard the engine screaming and saw the vehicle moving forward. He moved forward so I did not hit him. I was able to put the vehicle in park and then the engine went back to idle. *tr

Recalls on the 2013 model year
NHTSA has issued 1 recall campaign covering the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, affecting an estimated 5,068 vehicles. A recall is a different kind of evidence from a complaint: it is the regulator and the manufacturer agreeing that something has to be fixed, and the fix is free for as long as the car exists.
The campaigns cover air bags. Whether the work was actually done on the car in front of you is a question only the VIN can answer, and the manufacturer or NHTSA will answer it free.
One caution about reading these together: a recall usually raises the complaint count for the same part, because owners who read about it go and file. The mileages stay informative; the counts get noisy.
AIR BAGS
40,551 vehicles 2014-07-01- Defect
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2010-2015 LR2 and 2012-2013 Range Rover Evoque vehicles. A component within the Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may fail, resulting in the front seat passenger air bag being totally or partially disabled.
- Consequence
- In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, if the air bag is disabled, the air bag may not deploy or may not deploy properly, increasing the risk of injury to the front seat passenger.
- Remedy
- Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the Restraint Control Module software, free of charge. The recall began on August 30, 2014. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is P046.
Recall work is free at a franchised dealer regardless of the car's age. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before assuming it was done.
How it ranks in the 2013 field
The score at the top of the page, placed among its peers. The zones are the same thresholds the scorer applies, read out of the scorer itself, so the picture and the band word cannot disagree.
Scores are ranked within the model year, never across years, because an older car has had longer to accumulate reports.
- Left fewer and less serious reports
- Right more, or worse
- Marker this vehicle
Better and worse years of the same car
High risk for a 2013 — 204th riskiest of the 284 2013 vehicles we can rate. The comparison is always within the same model year, so an older car is never penalised for having had longer to break.
Across the 8 model years of this car that carry enough reports to score, 2013 comes out best at 69 and 2017 worst at 80, with 2013 itself at 69.
No other year of this model scores meaningfully better than 2013, so if this generation is what you want, the year is not the lever.
Within the 2012–2015 generation specifically, 2013 is the strongest year at 69 and 2014 the weakest at 76.
Scores compare each year against other cars of the same model year, so a low number on an older car is a real result and not an artefact of age.
Shorter is better. Years with too few reports to score are shown without a bar rather than as a zero, because no data is not good news.
Within the 2012-2015 generation, 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque scores best at 69 and 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque worst at 76.
What this page cannot tell you
61 owner reports; fleet size estimated from this year's own recall paperwork. Every count on this page is therefore a floor: it is the number of owners who went to the trouble of filing with a federal agency, which is a small and self-selected fraction of the owners who had the fault.
Of those 61 reports, 45 carried an odometer reading, so the mileages here describe 74% of the sample rather than all of it. Owners also round: readings pile up on multiples of ten thousand, which is why this site publishes "about 90,000 miles" and not "91,438".
The failure modes are assigned by software reading the owner's own words, which is accurate in bulk and wrong in individual cases. A mode with a handful of reports may contain a misfiled one.
And nothing here predicts what one car will do. These are other people's complaints, filed years apart, on cars maintained by strangers. Read the page as a map of where this model year has previously gone wrong, then have the specific car in front of you inspected.
Questions this page answers
What are the most common problems with the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque?
The most-reported failures are other engine problem (6 reports, median 60,000 miles), other electrical problem (6 reports, median 15,000 miles) and other fuel system problem (4 reports, median 40,000 miles).

Is the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque reliable?
It scores 69 out of 100 on our risk index, which is high — 204th riskiest of the 284 2013 vehicles we can rate. The score is a comparison against other 2013 vehicles, not a prediction about any individual car, and it is built from complaint rates, severity and how early failures appear.
Which year of the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is best?
Within the 2012–2015 generation, 2013 scores best at 69 out of 100 and 2014 worst at 76. Same body, same engines, different luck.
Where this comes from. Every figure above is computed from NHTSA owner complaints and recall records for this exact make, model and year. Complaints are voluntary and self-selected, so treat counts as a floor. The methodology page writes out each formula, and the same numbers are available as JSON.
