I have driven both and there is no doubt that the X3 is better behaved on bitumen. But get off that and especially sand, mud or anything with bumps and the evoque will go places the x3 cannot.

Performance wise, you can really only compare the 20d, any of the 35s are speed machines with superior acceleration, but offroad levels things again here.

Interior finishes on the x3 are bland unless you have $$$$ to spend on options. Here the evoque is much better value with full leather, pano roof and camera (+other options) costing roughly the same as a 20d with leatherette.

Space is about the same front and back with a smaller boot a drawback. Indicatively I should still fit a mtb on rails in the back, though I do ride a small frame.

I'm close to deciding on the evoque but haven't completely made up my mind. Superior offroad ability is the only thing that swayed me, if it weren't important it'd have been the x3.
