The Range Rover Evoque  is a compact SUV from Land Rover which went into production in July 2011. Land Rover along with British origin Jaguar in India is a subsidiary of Tata Motors as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). Land Rover floats two Range Rovers, a Freelander and a Discovery model in Indian market. Land Rover builds the Evoque in three- and five-door forms, as well as the Freelander 2, at the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Halewood plant in the U.K.

Editor's take : The diesel engine of the Evoque is frugal despite having good performance.
 

With blend of dynamic handling and refined engineering, the Range Rover Evoque ’s compact footprint and advanced technology deliver exciting performance together with the lowest fuel consumption of any Range Rover to date.  Fuel economy has been stated as being 6.5 kmpl. The petrol engine, however, would be more frugal. The 2.0 L engine is fitted with a 6-speed automatic transmission and has been engineered to improve fuel economy of 8.7 kmpl.

Editor's take : The Evoque gets the smallest engine from the JLR stable, which is the new 2.0-litre petrol. But the power rating of these engines is good.
 

The 5 door Land Rover Range Rover Evoque power is doled out by a 2179 cc diesel engine that has a maximum power of 190 bhp @ 3500 rpm and a maximum torque of 420 Nm @ 1750 rpm. This engine is mated to a fantastic 6 six speed automatic transmission.

In contrast, the 1999 cc turbocharged petrol engine is more powerful as it churns out 240 bhp @ 5500 rpm and generates maximum torque of 340 Nm @ 1750 rpm. Even this mighty and muscular engine is mated to 6 speed automatic gearbox.

These colors are available with all variants of Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

Editor's take : The acceleration of the diesel and petrol engine of the Evoque is good and it doesn’t feel any smaller.

The Evoque is a high segment car and fuelled by a powerful engine to meet the off-road capabilities. The 2.2 L SD4 diesel engine attains an acceleration of 8.5 kmph and top speed of 200 kmph. On the other hand the Si4 2.0 L petrol engine takes 7.6 seconds to accelerate from 0-100 kmph. Its maximum speed is a phenomenal 217 kmph. Overall both the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Acceleration & pick-up are great.

Three design themes are available in the 5-door version (Pure, Prestige and Dynamic) while the coupe structure is available with only one design theme. Evoque can be termed as the Range Rover’s answer to former owner BMW by creating a BMW X1 challenger and even Audi’s upcoming Q3 SUV is in hit-list. Range Rover Evoque is the smallest SUV in their range. Owner Tata Motors have ensured that Land Rover get a fair deal while coming to India and so have localized some of the components inside the cars to make them better priced than their rivals. The dynamic profile, dramatic rising beltline and muscular shoulders give Range Rover Evoque a natural presence and magnetism.

Talking about the exteriors, Evoque announces right from a distance that a small but jaw-dropping SUV is coming and indicates the passerby to stare it while this SUV sheds its beauty both on-road and off-road. The front end of Evoque looks startling. The twin horizontally inclined grille piece with the Range Rover name written above makes one fall in love with this Range Rover.

Unlike the usual white faced aluminium skid plate, a matt brushed one is used with black effect. 

The use of aluminum for the bonnet and the roof, and composite plastics for the one-piece tailgate has helped to produce a vehicle weighing 220 lb (100 kg) less than the Freelander. The side profile has powerfolding exterior mirrors with memory. A fixed panoramic sunroof is adorned in all the models of Evoque with sun-blinds. Even a contrast roof is available. The coupe has rather a sloping roofline. Front and rear parking aid adds to the utility quotient about Evoque. The side profile is different in 5 door and coupe style.

Editor's take : The interiors of the Range Rover Evoque are a great blend of technology and fashion. The Evoque is more of a fashion icon vehicle and the exterior design says so. Designers have done a terrific job for the interior as well.

Land Rover cars are not the mass cars. Rather they cater to special audience who are class-apart and therefore it takes utmost care of their class, their status, their requirements, their needs, their expectations and sometimes even surpasses their expectations. The delight with Evoque continues in the cabin also, with glistening switches and dials from pricier Range Rover models and upholstered seats both in front and in passenger's cabin with an adjustable and comfortable driver's seat ensure that everyone has a comfortable drive. The adjustable steering column gives a perfect driving position and experience. High-tech features in centre console include one-touch Ambient interior lighting which changed with the Terrain Response settings and the split-screen centre console display, which allows passengers to watch television or DVDs while the driver can see only the SatNav. Complete vehicle data will be presented by a ‘floating’ three-dimensional LCD display. The aluminium centre console with an iPhone docking station stretches the length of the cabin, separating the four seats.

The tailgate features two padded seating areas and integrated cupholders. Seats with open frameworks are used to give interior a lighter look while also creating useful under-seat and under-floor stowage areas. The powered rear seats offer plenty leg room. But there might be debates about the lack of the headroom. The presence of a massive panoramic sunroof takes Evoque to next level. Obviously parking sensors and also a reverse camera is standard fare given the small windscreen aperture. Large luggage items such as skis and surfboards can also be easily lodged in the bounteous load space.

Interior Comfort

Range Rover Evoque will certainly be luxurious and comfortable in its own way. Land Rover has made sure that in Range Rover Evoque, comfort of all kinds are included like comfortable leather seats, air conditioning with dual zone automatic climate control, folding back seats, electric driver seat adjustment, music controls mounted on the leather steering wheel and rear defogger. Also Range Rover Evoque will feature push button start facility, which makes it far more luxurious and convenient than any other car. The carpet mats with edging and the memory function for the driver’s seat boost up the entire comfort level of the new Range Rover Evoque.

Editor's take : Considering mind over matter, then the 2.2-litre diesel engine is the most sensible buy as the petrol is expensive and is only available in 3-door.
 

The compact engine alcove inside the Evoque’s bonnet doesn’t allow accommodating a V6 motor and hence the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque engine is packed by 4 in-line cylinder engines transversely placed that has 4 valves per cylinder. The latest 2.2 litre turbo diesel delivers superb torque, responsive performance and impressive refinement. The four wheel drive of Evoque is powered by the SD4 engine with 2179cc displacement that provides a maximum of 190 bhp of power at 3500 rpm and generates a torque of 420 Nm at 1750 rpm. 

The Si4 petrol Land Rover Range Rover Evoque engine capacity is 2.0 litres in a lightweight all-aluminum unit with the latest direct injection technology, advanced turbo charging and twin independent variable valve timing. This 1999 cc engine produces 240 bhp power at 5500 rpm and 340 Nm of maximum torque at 1750 rpm. Both the SD4 diesel Si4 petrol engines are fitted with a 6-speed automatic transmission engineered to improve fuel economy and that features Drive Select, an advanced rotary gearshift with steering wheel mounted paddle controls.

The wheels form very important part of an SUV and Range Rover Evoque is no exception. The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque wheels for ‘Pure’ model are 17 inch alloy wheel with sparkling silver finish which augments the look of Evoque further. The 10 spokes in the wheels seems to merge with the path while the car propels. The tyre size is essentially 225/65 for this. However, the other two models have slightly different wheels. Both Evoque Prestige and Evoque Dynamic have 18 inch but 7 spoke alloy wheels with glittering silver touch. The tyre size in these two design themes is 235/60. Even in icy conditions, without losing traction, the Range Rover can climb up steep inclines. Land Rover believes in quality therefore, one thing is for sure that is the alloy wheels with the tyre repair system will be of finest class and will not depreciate so easily.

Editor's take : The ride and handling characteristics of the Evoque are good, as the ride is plush like any Range Rover and the handling is just like a sedan.
 

Range Rover Evoque has front ventilated and rear disc brakes attached to its wheels. Typical Land Rover design traits meliorate the off-road performance and practicality with the command driving position, hill descent control and good approach and departure angles. The unseamed combination of suspension and steering technology helps to deliver superior on-road ride and dynamic handling. Range Rover has provided this SUV with a Stability program module which is said to be far better than any vehicles in the world. The hill descent system gets an adjuster which would actually adjust the speed of descent, electronically.

Like every Range Rover vehicle, Range Rover Evoque optimizes performance and capability in all on and off-road conditions. It does this by employing a suite of innovative technologies including Terrain Response, which adapts Range Rover Evoque’s engine, transmission and electronic systems to maximize drivability, comfort and traction. The four Terrain Response settings: General Driving, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud & Ruts and Sand helps ease of driving. A SUV is known for its handling and Range Rover Evoque handling is class-apart.

Editor's take :  The safety features list on the Evoque is fairly long, just like most of the luxury vehicles in this segment.
