![]() ![]() The seats are plusher and come in a choice of leather, wool blend or even a vegan-friendly option. The dashboard and side panels are made from soft, upmarket materials. Now, everywhere you look there’s elegance and class. There were cheap-feeling plastics and elements that weren’t really suited to a luxury small SUV. InteriorĪ big difference between the Evoque now and its predecessor is the interior.īeforehand, the inside of the Evoque looked a bit dated. However, for ultimate luxury, you’re going to want the Autobiography featuring adaptive dampers, making off-road driving a breeze and potholes and speed bumps around the city easier to tackle. It’s good, handles bumps in the road well and provides a more than comfortable drive. In the entry-level and R-Dynamic model, you’ll just get the standard suspension. In the Evoque, depending on how much you’re willing to spend will determine the type of suspension you get. The steering feedback is good and it’s easy to manoeuvre. ![]() However, for the most part, the Evoque handles very well. It may share the same underpinnings as the Jaguar E-Pace, but it’s not as nimble in the corners. The Range Rover Evoque is crafted more for comfort than tight hairpins at high speed. However, if you can’t stretch your budget that far, the D200 is another solid option. It still suffers from the Range Rover’s sometimes sluggish automatic gearbox but from an economy perspective it just beats the diesel. Which engine is best?Īll in all, the P300e PHEV is the engine we’d recommend if you can afford it. It comes with all-wheel-drive and an automatic gearbox as standard, and the sprint to 60mph is seen off in just 6.1 seconds. The plug-in hybrid combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a 15kWh battery to produce a total power output of 304bhp – making it the most powerful Evoque in the range. No matter which petrol engine you choose, you get all-wheel-drive and Land Rover’s nine-speed automatic gearbox as standard. There’s the entry-level P200, which produces 197bhp, the P250, offering 247bhp and the top-of-the-range P300, giving you 296bhp. If you’d rather opt for petrol, there’s only one engine to choose from but this time it comes with three different power outputs. The D165 is available in both manual and automatic, as well as in two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive.Īuto versions automatically feature four-wheel-drive as standard and also come with mild hybrid technology helping you lower your fuel economy around town. If you choose it as your powertrain of choice, then you get a 2.0-litre engine with two different power options to choose from one producing 163bhp badged the D165, and a more powerful 201bhp variant named the D200. Dieselĭespite drivers ditching diesel in recent years, Land Rover still expects the majority of its sales to be powered by a diesel engine. When it comes to the engine choice in the Range Rover Evoque, you have quite a few options available. This not only makes it greener but a tempting proposition for company car drivers. Meanwhile, in comparison, the plug-in hybrid produces just 44g/km CO2 emissions. The petrol and diesel Range Rover Evoque emit between 160g/km and 214g/km of CO2, putting them in the highest band for company car tax. While in the plug-in hybrid, fuel costs could be as low as £35 a month. In a diesel, that’ll drop to somewhere in the region of £100 to £125. In a petrol model, your fuel bill will likely fall between £145 to £160 a month if you cover 10,000 miles a year. The running costs of a Range Rover Evoque are around class average. However, if fuel economy is crucial, there is always the plug-in hybrid P300e PHEV option: this will give you 141 mpg according to the WLTP real-world tests, although it does depend on how much you use the pure electric mode. With the diesel, those numbers rise to between 37.8-46.3 mpg, depending on which model you choose. Not amazing figures, although about average for a car of its size with four-wheel drive. In petrol form, the Evoque will return between 29.3 and 31.6 mpg. ![]()
