Land Rover Range Rover Evoque vs Honda Civic Comparison

The Evoque has picked up some steam in the Indian market off late, as a credible rival to the smaller SUVs from the Germans. Expect the new Evoque to still get a lot of attention, primarily for retaining its compact size - something that is gaining ground as a requirement in India - especially as more women are now buying premium cars, and also the fact that more premium car buyers are choosing to drive themselves.

And this is why the company has also taken cognizance of the feedback on the 8th gen car in India. The ground clearance for this India spec has been increased by 20 mm in front and 15 mm at the back. Having driven over a variety of roads, I can safely say that the ground clearance is not an issue whatsoever. I know you are now probably wondering where I stand on this car. It has some obvious flaws and some great strengths - but to me its also about its legacy and therefore the return of the Civic nameplate to India is just terrific. I welcome it warmly - and also now hope that Honda prices it sensibly. That won't just be great news for Civic fans, but also for the ailing midsize segment that badly needs a hit.
