And the Evoque is just a jacked up hot hatch if you're going to take that view of the X3 (without the engine to back up the hot part).
I'll concede that it has slightly better approach and departure angles if you stay away from the dynamic model then the X3.
But the little knob in the center isn't going to do much of anything offroad, it's missing the rock crawl setting in the terrain response system, the low range in all the other Range's, which the Evoque doesn't have.
It controls:
Dynamic Stability Control
Electronic Traction Control
Hill Descent Control
Hill Start Assist
Roll Stability Control
It's not like the X3 doesn't incorporate all of those functions as well. Without a low range and locking diffs, the Evoque will be able to handle unpaved parking lots just as well as the X3.
