The passenger compartment of the Evoque remained stable in the frontal offset test.  Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both driver and passenger.  Land Rover showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions.  Protection was good for all critical body areas of the passenger.  In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection was good or adequate for the driver and the rear passenger.  In the side barrier test, protection was good for all critical body areas and maximum points were scored.  Even in the more severe side pole impact, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other parts of the body was good.  Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end impact.  A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated marginal whiplash protection.  The Evoque has a standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system which scored maximum points in tests of its functionality at the low speeds, typical of city driving, at which many whiplash injuries occur.

In the frontal offset test, protection of both dummies was good or adequate for all critical body areas.  In the side barrier test, protection was good for all areas and maximum points were scored.  The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position.  Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded.  All of the restraint types for which the Evoque is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

The Evoque has an 'active' bonnet. Sensors in the bumper detect when a pedestrian has been struck and actuators raise the bonnet surface to provide greater clearance to hard structures in the engine compartment. In addition, an airbag is deployed to provide additional protection.  Land Rover showed that the system worked for a variety of statures and across a range of speeds, so the vehicle was tested with the bonnet in the raised, deployed position. Test results were predominantly good or adequate. The bumper provided good protection to pedestrians' legs but protection of the pelvis was mixed. The AEB system can detect vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists. Tests showed adequate performance with pedestrians and marginal performance when detecting cyclists.

The AEB system performed well in tests of its functionality at highway speeds.  The Evoque also has, as standard: a lane support system which helps the driver to avoid drifting out of lane and can also help in some, more critical situations; a seatbelt reminder for the front and rear seats; and a driver-set speed assistance system.  A speed limit recognition system is available but did not form part of this assessment as it is an option.
