Why thieves pick the Range Rover Evoque
The Evoque carries the Range Rover name at a lower price, so it holds its value well and its parts are in steady demand.
Land Rover thefts fell sharply after the maker introduced security updates and newer keys, and the brand recorded almost 30% fewer thefts. The improvement mainly helps later cars, which is why first-generation Evoques now make up most of the figures.
Check your own Range Rover Evoque
Check your V5C for the first registration date. A car from 2011 to 2018 is first generation, the group behind 83% of Evoque thefts. A later car is in the newer group that has benefited from Land Rover's updated keys.
Dual layer protection for your Range Rover Evoque
Layer one: stop it leaving
An aftermarket immobiliser is the strongest first layer for a first-generation Evoque, because it does not depend on the original key system that these older cars rely on. Keep a steering lock in the car for street parking.
Layer two: get it back
A certified tracker gives you the second layer. Many insurers ask for one on Land Rover and Range Rover models, so check the category your policy needs before you book.

Habits that lower the risk
- Ask a Land Rover retailer whether your Evoque is eligible for any security update and keep the paperwork.
- Store keys in a pouch away from doors and windows.
- Avoid leaving the car in the same unlit spot every night if you have a choice.
