Just found out how tough our vehicles are, I was coming out of our estate and noticed a guy in a corsa coming to the edge of a junction coming onto our road and he was going to cut the corner and wasnt looking our way, I stopped and he just ploughed into the passenger side of the front bumper on the corner, it didnt budge us but his car is totalled headlight pushed back bonnet gone grill smashed front strengthener pushed back and radiator smashed and car wouldnt start and as it was an older car I think it wasnt very well but our car has just a slight knick out of black bumper part and thats it, its obviously built like a tank !!!

I think your Evoque may have displayed a little more discomfort under the same circumstances, but Discos are tanks. I had a 7 series Bimmer hit me from behind once when I had a D2. Not a mark on my truck. His bonnet was toast where the spare wheel put a foot wide dent in it!

I hope you never have to test it, but you might be surprised by the Ewok.
Our Freelander got hit up the rear by a Nissan travelling at well above 70mph, I drove home, His car was completely wrecked. OK on subsiquent strip down mine had taken a good belt, nothing that couldn't be fixed. But the important passenger compartment wasn't touched.

Just got "tigger" back after a new front bumper (although the garage said theres nothing wrong with the old one) (so available to anyone who needs one) a new front fog light a new parking sensor and a new front wheel and its good to have it home, we had a brand new D4 while ours was in the garage but it just wasnt the same so glad to have it home
