LAND ROVER Range Rover Evoque · photos, packages and modifications

When it the Range Rover Evoque was launched in 2011, it was able to break the mould for a wide variety of reasons. Not only was it the most stylish car in the market amongst the different cars in the market at that time, it had different features that made it extremely clean as well as efficient. In fact, these features were present while the car was able to retain its ability for off-road drive. In our annual New Car Awards, this car was able to get the award for the Best Compact SUV along with winning the title of the Car of the Year. It proved to be highly successful for the company overall and led to the creation of hundreds of new jobs at the factory located at Halewood. This baby Range Rover comes in two body styles, which includes a coupe of three-doors along with a hatchback model of five doors which is definitely more practical. Furthermore, there were three options for trim levels along with a choice of three engines.

Another added feature of this car is the fact that it can be personalized according to the requirements of a particular person. There are 12 body colors to choose from, as well as seven alloy wheel designs and three roof colors, as well. The interior is made using high quality materials, along with a center console which is hunky. The entry-level cars have heated leather seats, a touch-screen display, climate control, Bluetooth, as well as alloy wheels measuring 18-inches. As far as the luxury models are concerned, new features are added which includes a leather finish for the interior completely, as well as wood finishes, and alloy wheels measuring 19 inches.

Even if you choose the basic model or the luxury mode, you will find that MegneRide adaptive dampers are standard in both the models. You may find that even though the cornering is quite composed and stable, it will not be as stable as what you would expect out of a coupe especially like the BMW 3 Series. If you want the best from the range, then you should choose the entry-level model, which has a 147 bhp diesel engine that is not only able to produce the best power but it has an excellent economy, as well. You may find the 187 bhp engine much better, in terms of power but it consumes more diesel. As far as the flagship 237 bhp model which is turbo-charged is concerned, it is perfect since it is able to cover 0-60 mph within seven seconds. However, you will also find it too heavy on your pockets.

This car was able to get a five-star rating on the Euro NCAP crash test rating in 2011. It scored 86 percent for protection for adult occupants. As far as the safety assist category is concerned, it got 86 percent score, as well. The standard kit comes with side, knee, passenger, driver, thorax airbags along with electronic stability control and LSOFIX seat fittings. If you opt for the four-wheel-drive model, then you will also get the Terrain Response system, which is the latest technology and works excellently for off-road driving.

The Evoque has measurements including 4,365 mm in length, 1965 mm in width and 1635 in height. You will find that even the Coupe has the same dimensions but it has a smaller height. You will find that there is enough space to accommodate three adults at the back. However, you will find that the five-door would be excellent since it will also give adequate leg room and headroom. When you are driving, you can have a commanding view of the road in front of you. The small rear window; however, means that the rear visibility lacks. The seats are extremely comfortable. The storage space of the five-door model is 575-liter and if the rear seats are folded, the boot capacity expands to 1455 liters. On the other hand, the Coupe has a 550-liter boot space when the rear seats are in their place which expands to 1350 liters when they are folded.
