SUV WARS! What Happens When An Audi Q3, Porsche Macan And Range Rover Evoque Get Into A FIGHT?

SUV WARS! What Happens When An Audi Q3, Porsche Macan And Range Rover Evoque Get Into A FIGHT?
As we've pointed out numerous times, it's as competitive out there as ever. Consumers have zero incentive to be loyal and you can get some screaming deals if you can find the right vehicle at the right store.

You just have to do your homework.

The stakes are raised even more so when you get into the conversation of luxury sport-utility vehicles. On the smaller side of the spectrum there's bunch of offerings to choose from.

Our friends at CAR magazine decided to put several together to see who really is the best of the best. That would include the Audi Q3, Porsche Macan and Range Rover Evoque.

Really though, this battle is between the Porsche and Range Rover. You know, the two that status seekers check out.

So, who gets the win? See the verdict below.

Evoque vs Macan vs Q3: verdict

First place: Porsche Macan
Witchcraft handling, a sports car's interior and balanced practicality, but the engine has no character.

Second place: Range Rover Evoque
Not as dynamic as the Macan but lays on the luxury to compensate. Comfy, stylish, desirable.

Third place: Audi Q3
Quiet, refined and flexible for family life, but don't come here looking for fun.

JLR wanted you to believe that the Evoque wasn't a Ford Escape (but they shared a platform). JLR wants you to believe that the Evoque is all-new (but it just isn't).

If you've got the money, get a Macan.
If you don't have Macan money, get the largely similar Audi.
If you must have the Evoque, lease it.

The Escape. I mean Evoque finished? Car magazine always favors British cars. The Macan is hands down the best vehicle here.

Exactly

Indeed, given that the Q5 and the Macan are 90% identical under the styling, but ours is not to wonder why.

@runbuh The ability to edit and I'd also like to be able to talk to several people here behind the scenes. Not a complete list, but I'd enjoy chatting "off the record" with Truthy, CC, rick, and xjug (among others).

Should have included the Stelvio Ti in the comparison.

No, they shouldn't have. The Stelvio would not have finished the test. It would have had some serious breakdown.

Yes the Stelvio should have been in the mix instead of two VAG products. The Q3 didn't belong at all. A BMW X3 a Jaguar F-Pace, etc, there are lots of other options to make it a more interesting and relevant test.
