2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2012 Range Rover Evoque.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic 6-spd

The 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is an SUV that pairs a 6-speed automatic transmission with an EPA-rated fuel economy of 18 city, 27 highway, and 22 combined mpg. Routine powertrain maintenance demands 6.0 quarts of 5W-30 API oil, a specific requirement for keeping this engine properly lubricated. Yet, this model year occupies a problematic place in the Evoque's reliability history, carrying 44 total owner complaints—primarily targeting the engine—alongside 5 recalls, making it significantly more troublesome than later production years that saw annual complaints drop to as low as 4 by 2024.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2012 Range Rover Evoque registers top complaints in Engine (7), Fuel System, Gasoline (6), Power Train (5), and Air Bags (4), along with 2 crash and 1 fire complaint, though the data does not specify root causes. The provided federal record contains no years before 2012; instead, it charts a subsequent arc from 2019 through 2024 in which owner complaints decline from 11 to 4, recalls rise from 0 to 4 then settle at 2, and TSBs trend downward from 424 to 119. As the earliest visible point in this dataset, 2012 sits before that later trend, carrying documented mechanical and safety grievances without any accompanying recall or investigation activity in the provided record. That gap implies the 2012 model may harbor unresolved issues, since its engine, fuel-system, and air-bag complaints are not contextualized by the recall-driven corrections seen in later years. With serious safety complaints on file and no evidence in the data that they were subsequently addressed, the 2012 Evoque is a risky used purchase.
