Is 50 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2020 and 2026, roughly 8 a year, which is about the same as the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2020 has 50 complaints on file, more than the 2019 (11). Of the 9 model years of the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque we cover, the 2015 has the most (59). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
