Jaguar E-Pace →
The E-Pace gave Jaguar SA a compact SUV from 2018, sharing much with the Range Rover Evoque underneath. It sold modestly and was dropped as the brand wound down its combustion range. Steep depreciation means used examples now sit well below equivalent German rivals.
Known for: compact suv with heavy depreciation
Land Rover Range Rover Evoque →
The Evoque made the Range Rover badge attainable when it launched in 2011 and sold strongly on styling alone. Two generations on, it remains the entry Range Rover at just over R1.1 million. Early cars depreciated hard and gave the model a mixed reliability reputation on the used market.
Known for: design-led urban range rover
