Range Rover Evoque - The same, but better

BUY, LEASE OR FINANCE A RANGE ROVER EVOQUE FROM OSV: bit.ly/2P9lieZ
Range Rover's Evoque has demolished all sales records for SUVs in this class.
How do you right a best seller? That was Land Rover's problem when it came to creating the second generation version of its runaway success story, the Range Rover Evoque, a car that now accounts for a third of the brand's total sales. It's a fashionable, yet capable proposition that has fundamentally changed the premium mid-sized SUV market and rivals now have to contend with an evolved version that features a more efficient range of diesel and petrol engines, including electrified and mild hybrid technology. Plus there's smarter styling, more interior space, extra off road ability and sharper handling thanks to an all-new 'PTA' platform. As a result, if you want an SUV of this kind, this is still the one to beat.
Background
It's getting on for half a century since all-wheel driving was revolutionised by the Range Rover, a car now a class apart in the luxury 4x4 sector. But what would that model look like re-invented in smaller form for very different Millennial times, an age in which fashion and frugality are as important as toughness and traction? Something like this we think, the Range Rover Evoque, here rejuvenated in second generation form.
As before, it sets out to meet a daunting set of challenges, aiming to provide luxurious room for four in a shape shorter than a Ford Focus. Along with handling as satisfying as a sports coupe. And economy that might allow green-minded versions to rival the returns of a citycar. All to be delivered with class-leading off road expertise. In a car right for its times. Quite a build-up. Quite a car? Let's find out.
Driving Experience
The Evoque range is primarily focused on Ingenium four-cylinder units. All automatic versions of this model, regardless of whether they're diesel or petrol, will have a 48-volt mild hybrid system equipped with an 8Ah lithium-ion battery. The petrol derivatives produce 197bhp, 247bhp and 296bhp, while the diesels develop 148bhp, 178bhp and 237bhp. Your dealer can offer you a manual gearbox available on the entry-level front-driven diesel, but the remainder of the models in the range will come with the brand's latest nine-speed automatic. A less powerful three-cylinder turbo petrol powerplant has also been developed for this MK2 model, an engine you'll be able to order either as a standalone unit or as part of a plug-in hybrid configuration.
As before, all but the most basic Evoques will come with 4WD but their transmission features a 'driveline disconnect' feature which will see the car default to a front-driven configuration unless a loss of traction dictates otherwise. An 'Active Driveline' system will be optionally available, which uses a rear-mounted double-clutch which offers torque vectoring on the rear axle to aid corner turn-in. Off-road ability is enhanced with the fitment of 'Terrain Response 2' tech from the larger range Rover that analyses the road surface and adjusts the transmission to suit. Wading depth is up 100mm to 600mm too.

The sad part is that in my country, with all those taxes, this car costs astronomically more. How much more? Well add on 20-40% to the price, then another 12% VAT and you get a whopping 64 thousand pounds, and that's just for the entry level trim. Being a Land Rover fan in my country sucks balls.

[@gregburville3368]

Imagine the resale values selecting the recycled PET bottle trim, and it looks rubbish. Go for leather. BTW. you guys do, by far, the best new car reviews on KZbin.

[@mikeenglish6401]

I’m absolutely exhausted having watched and listened to this. In my humble opinion there is always a trade-off between the minutiae of detail that some may yearn for and the important things most prospective buyers need to know. Methinks the balance isn’t quite right here from a ‘watch ability’ perspective. But, hey, I’m not a Land Rover oficianado😜

[@steliosieronymakis2480]

'No other car of this kind is quite like the Evoque'. I beg to differ as the Dacia Duster has better approach and departure angles - 30 and 34 degrees as opposed to the 25 and 30,6 degrees the Evoque has.

Realist 1801 I don’t like the disco sport either, I had the choice of buying that or the last Freelander 2. I bought the Freelander, a practical car with a commanding driving position unlike the evoke or the disco sport. In fact I’ve just traded the Freelander in after 5 years of trouble free motoring for a new Volvo XC90 B5 , the full size disco is way too expensive as is the service cost & don’t mention the rear end. JLR are just taking the P out of its customers in my opinion .
