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
Lexus UX →
Lexus SA's smallest crossover arrived in 2019 and is now sold exclusively as the UX 250h hybrid. It targets the BMW X1 and Audi Q3 crowd with lower fuel bills and the brand's seven-year maintenance plan. Cabin space is tight for the price, which keeps volumes modest.
Known for: compact hybrid crossover economy
