How safe is the Evoque?
Wow!

I know amongst the LR fraternity the modern vehicles are Marmite, but you can't deny how safe they are!

First watch this Video



Seems nasty but not so bad eh?

However, then watch this video to see what happened next! Shocked Shocked Shocked How did they walk away from that!

Looks very safe to me; the passenger cell remained in shape and the car fell from a great height.

Imagine (or not) the same thing in a Defender..... (would rather not my self!). Cheers Don.

Love the car that drove past without stopping to see if they could help.

just watched them in reverse and it looks like someone getting into a 6 month 90 with seized door hinges which then a takes off and morphs into an ewok.....

After almost skidding into to them too.

Imagine surviving that and then some idiot kills you after you got out. Craig Rogers

I think it starts out as a RR Sport and then ends up as an Evoke Shocked

Quite impressive though!

I couldn't make my mind up originally if it was a RRS or Evoque either. But looking at the size compared to other cars, I think it's an Evoque.

I was pretty impressed that the battery stayed in place and operational. The lights are still working after. In fact, it's probably the emergency lights started up. Craig Rogers
