The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque (commonly known as the Range Rover Evoque) is a

series of subcompact luxury crossover SUVs produced by the British manufacturer Jaguar Land


Rover, a subsidiary of Tata Motors, under their Land Rover marque. The original Evoque was a
development of the Land Rover LRX concept vehicle, which was unveiled at the North American
International Auto Show in January 2008.[1] The first generation Evoque was produced from July
2011 until 2018 in three- and five-door versions, with both two-wheel and four-wheel drive. The
second generation car started production in 2018. The car was launched as two distinct models
(later three models for 2017): the five-door Evoque, the three-door Evoque Coupé, and the
Convertible Evoque (launched as a 2017 model). The Coupé model was later discontinued after
the 2017 model year, while the five-door and Convertible models remained in production.
The production-model Evoque retained nearly identical bodywork from the LRX concept vehicle,
including the cabin length panoramic sun roof. No hybrid power train is currently being offered.
All models are available in four trim levels — "Pure", "Prestige", "Pure Plus", and "Dynamic".
[7]
 Land Rover markets the Pure as the minimalist version rather than the "base model", while the
Prestige adds luxury options and the Dynamic focuses more on performance.

Body[edit]
The Evoque uses unibody rather than body on frame construction with a kerb weight of 1,670 kg
(3,680 lb) and an aluminium hood/bonnet and roof, as well as a composite one-piece tailgate.[8]
The Evoque comes in 12 different body colours with three optional contrasting roof colours and
five optional wheel choices, though Land Rover offers a "designers choice" of predetermined
combinations on most models. The Dynamic model incorporates more aggressive bodywork
including a different front fascia and lowered suspension.[9]
The Evoque can be equipped with five exterior cameras.

Engines[edit]
Three engine options were originally available for the Evoque: two 2.2-litre turbodiesels
producing either 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp), or 190 PS (140 kW; 187 bhp), and a 2-litre 240 PS
(177 kW; 237 bhp) turbocharged petrol engine.[8]
Land Rover revealed the Evoque with a 9-speed automatic transmission during the Geneva
Motor Show. This new automatic transmission is developed by ZF Friedrichshafen. In addition,
the 9-speed automatic transmission's first gear is specially designed for off-road conditions,
towing, and adverse on road conditions. Further, first gear of a 9-speed automatic transmission is
much lower than the first gear of a six-speed automatic. Land Rover did not reveal any further
technical details about the new automatic transmission.[10]
Land Rover since have developed their own branded Ingenium engine to adhere to EU6
emissions regulations. Three 2-litre variants are available: eD4 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp)
turbodiesel two- wheel drive manual gearbox, or TD4 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) permanent four-
wheel drive 9-speed automatic, and a 2-litre Si4 240 PS (177 kW; 237 bhp) turbocharged petrol
permanent four-wheel drive 9-speed automatic.
The manufacturer's fuel-economy estimates for the 2.2-litre diesel engine with manual
transmission are 47.1 miles per imperial gallon (6.00 L/100 km; 39.2 mpg-US) urban and 56.5
miles per imperial gallon (5.00 L/100 km; 47.0 mpg-US) combined, with CO
2 emissions of 133 g/km.[3]

For the 2.0-litre petrol engine with automatic transmission, the figures are 23.7 miles per imperial
gallon (11.9 L/100 km; 19.7 mpg-US) urban and 32.5 miles per imperial gallon (8.7 L/100 km;
27.1 mpg-US) combined, with 199 g/km CO
2.[3]

United States Environmental Protection Agency fuel-economy estimates have been stated as


being 19 miles per US gallon (12 L/100 km; 23 mpg-imp) in the city and 28 miles per US gallon
(8.4 L/100 km; 34 mpg-imp) on highways for the 2-litre petrol version.[11]
Off-road performance[edit]
The Evoque is capable of class-leading off-road performance with 215 mm (8.5 in) of ground
clearance, 25° approach and 33° departure angles, and a 500 mm (19.7 in) wading depth.[3]
The Evoque was equipped with either two-wheel drive or a generation IV Haldex permanent four-
wheel drive system until the 2014 model year update when the Haldex system was replaced by
two optional All-Wheel Drive Systems (Standard Driveline or Active Driveline) by GKN Driveline.
The Evoque also comes standard with Land Rover's latest version of Terrain Response, which
maximises traction in a variety of conditions by altering throttle response, power distribution, and
suspension settings. The Terrain Response system also includes electronic stability control, roll
stability control, traction control, and an optional hill-descent control that automatically applies
braking to control speed when moving down an incline.[3]
A third-generation MagneRide suspension system is also available, which works by magnetising
iron particles inside the suspension fluid to quickly adapt shock absorber firmness to road
changes.[12]
