| Fitment notes | Front brake size varies by engine and year, so check the existing pad size. The 156 mm pads suit the earlier cars without a wear-contact provision, and the 193 and 175 mm pads are prepared for one. Petrol and diesel engines are listed without per-engine pad sets. |
Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Brake Pads: Brake Pads Are One of the Few Truly Universal Parts
Every version of the Range Rover Evoque uses brake pads that wear down through normal use — the only real variable is how quickly, which depends on engine, trim, and (where fitted) whether the car has any form of regenerative braking to ease the load.
Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Brake Pads: What They Do
Brake pads clamp against the discs to convert the car's momentum into heat, slowing it down. On any version of the Range Rover Evoque with hybrid assistance or regenerative braking, this system handles a meaningful share of everyday slowing, which can genuinely extend pad life compared with a purely petrol or diesel equivalent.

Common Sizes
| Standard fitment (per Land Rover's own service manual), front pads | Sized to match the 300mm disc/caliper on this tier. Pad size genuinely scales with engine output and trim on this model, not just the disc diameter — always confirm the exact pad against your VIN rather than assuming from generation alone. |
|---|---|
| Standard fitment, rear pads | Sized to match the 302mm disc/caliper on this tier. Pad size genuinely scales with engine output and trim on this model, not just the disc diameter — always confirm the exact pad against your VIN rather than assuming from generation alone. |
| 2015-2019, 17" wheels, front pad (shared with Discovery Sport) | Genuinely a different, larger pad to match the 325mm disc/caliper on this higher tier — not interchangeable with the standard-tier pad on the same axle. |
| 2016-2019, 18" wheels, front pad | Genuinely a different, larger pad to match the 349mm disc/caliper on this higher tier — not interchangeable with the standard-tier pad on the same axle. |

A Genuinely Useful Piece of Context Worth Knowing About Brake Squeal — Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Brake Pads
If a persistent brake squeal has been getting worse, particularly in cold weather, this is genuinely worth knowing: related Land Rover models have had a confirmed technical bulletin addressing this exact pattern, with a redesigned pad developed specifically to resolve it, worth asking a dealer whether this applies to your car.
It's also genuinely worth knowing a healthy dose of scepticism worth applying to one common dealer explanation: attributing squealing simply to the general type of pad material used doesn't fully account for a persistent, specific squeal, since this material type is used across virtually all modern vehicles.
