One person replied to the advert on Twitter, saying: "Yes come to beautiful Edinburgh by all means, but please don’t bring an emission generating vehicle with you. It’s nicer for everyone that way."

One response said: "NO! Stay away from our city. It's not built for huge, monstrous, gas-guzzling polluting cars. It's an extremely walkable city and has one of the best bus services in the UK."

Key features of the new Evoque model include live traffic updates, the ability to link music streaming services t your car and a remote app to track your journeys from your smartphone.
