the Range Rover Evoque prototype
What exactly is this new Range Rover Evoque?
The Evoque Range Rover Evoque takes the Range Rover blueprint of a luxurious, capable 4x4, and shrinks it to a footprint fractionally smaller than the new Ford Focus’s. Whereas the heavy Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models necessitate V6 and V8 power, the Evoque’s compact size and a stringent weight optimisation programme deliver a weight range from 1595 to 1700kg.
Enough preamble: let’s drive!
CAR tested a four-wheel drive Range Rover Evoque prototype running the high-output diesel, which produces 187bhp and 310lb ft of torque, and returns 50mpg and emits 149g/km of CO2.
The demonstration drive showcased the Evoque’s Magneride adaptive damping system. The computer-controlled system can change the damping force up to 50 times a second; Land Rover claims third-generation Magneride outperforms the standard damping system at both extremes of the dynamic and comfort spectrums. The Range Rover Evoque steering is nicely judged, light and effortless and reminiscent of a Jaguar’s. Land Rover says 0-60mph takes 9.5secs, but it feels a little quicker.
