No opportunity to go off road in test, but YouTube shows plenty of examples. The dimensions (approach, departure, ramp angles) are definite indicators.

The question is - does the evoque drive well enough on road to make up for 99% of the driving we do to make the extra 1% worthwhile. The answer seems obvious... but then there is comfort and that Firenze red to factor. It just makes the X3 seem the 'practical' choice.
Thanks for clarifying that - I can certainly understand your dilemma. In your case, yes the Evoque would be a better off-road choice then the X3 although I do recall reading that Aussie-spec Evoques only have a space saver spare? Wouldn't want to be doing any real offroading without a full size spare.
