Upgrading their ride to either the Range Rover Evoque or the Lexus RX 350 will provide drivers in Orlando, Lake Buena Vista, and Kissimmee, Florida with so many amazing benefits. While these models are similar in many ways, you’ll want to be aware of their differences, which can significantly impact your buying decision.
To give you a better idea of what those differences are, the team at Land Rover Orlando has set out to compare the two SUVs!

Whether you’re taking on the streets or the trails, the Range Rover Evoque and the Lexus RX 350 are ready to go to work. Both models yield over 240 horsepower and over 260 lb-ft of torque. Still, there are some clear differences.
The Range Rover Evoque comes standard with All-Wheel Drive, so it’s ready to venture off-road, too. On the other hand, the RX 350 offers all-wheel drive but comes standard with front-wheel drive. So, if you want to head off the asphalt without an upgrade, opt for the Range Rover.
The Evoque also has a few other advantages in the realm of performance, as it comes standard with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The Lexus comes close but doesn’t quite measure up, as it’s equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The Range Rover has a 7-second acceleration time, going from 0 to 60 MPH faster than the Lexus. Meanwhile, the Lexus can go from 0 to 60 MPH in 7.6 seconds. So, if you’re looking for power and a smooth ride, the Range Rover is the safer bet.
One of the reasons to drive an SUV is for the space it provides. If you’re making one of these SUVs your next automotive companion, you may be doing so because you need as much room as possible.
Both the Range Rover and the Lexus are quite spacious. However, the Range Rover provides much more room to fit all of your belongings comfortably.
With the rear seats folded down, the Evoque has 50.5 cubic feet of cargo room behind the first row. On the other hand, the Lexus can only give you up to 46.2 cubic feet of cargo room, so you may have to leave some items behind or ask your second-row riders to hold them on their laps.
Despite its substantial cargo volume, the Evoque maintains a more compact stature on its exterior, enabling you to maneuver more easily, especially when dealing with city traffic and parking lots.
On the outside, the Range Rover is a shorter vehicle, standing 172.1 inches in length. So, it will be easier to move in and out of lanes and traffic than in the Lexus, which extends an additional 20 inches, at 192.5 inches in length.
We all use technology in some form, so it’s of the utmost importance to stay connected when you’re on the go. Fortunately, both vehicles come standardly equipped with:
- Bluetooth®
- Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration
- Voice controls
The Range Rover offers more advanced technology, though, starting with its Amazon Alexa capability, which is unavailable in the Lexus model. Plus, the standard 11.4-inch Touchscreen in the Evoque may make your information easier to view than the RX 350’s 9.8-inch display.
Unlike the Lexus model, the Range Rover isn’t satisfied with settling for a single touchscreen. The Range Rover offers its Touch Pro Duo, dual 10-inch touchscreens that are fully customizable. For example, you could use one screen to display your maps or climate information and the other could be used to display your smartphone apps.
We all forget things, including our phone-charging cable. When you drive the Evoque, there’s no need to worry! The Range Rover comes with standard wireless device charging capabilities. It even has a phone signal booster, so you won’t have to worry about calls dropping when you head into a tunnel!
The Lexus offers an optional wireless phone charger as part of a package, but you’ll have to add it—and it doesn’t have a signal booster.
Now that you know a bit more about the Range Rover Evoque and the Lexus RX 350, are you ready to make your choice? At Land Rover Orlando, we believe the Range Rover Evoque is better equipped to handle the streets of Orlando, Lake Buena Vista, and Kissimmee, FL based on its performance, dimensions, and technology.
