![]() Big wheelhouses fit available 21-inchers, tall doors and trim windows merge more quickly at the tail. This time, Land Rover’s drawn it with more heft. The original seemed to be cleaved from aluminum like origami. With the latest Evoque, Range Rover’s stiletto shape takes a softer set. There’s also a bit of storage behind the lower touchscreen for small items as well as in the lower pockets of the doors.2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque P250 R-Dynamic S The leather is soft and the aluminum trim is real. ![]() Other than that, the rest of the interior design and materials are top notch. Probably due to the amount of processing power that is required to run both screens. Visually they look stunning but the system itself has a slight delay in response. The top touchscreen projects the navigation, audio, and various apps while the lower screen is for the climate, Terrain Response 2, and a few settings. Interior Design – The stunning design continues on the inside as more Range Rover Velar influence is visible in the form of the dual screen layout. The real exhaust tip is actually behind the bumper cover and points downward. Oh, but those black “exhausts” are fakes. Styling was one of the biggest selling points for the old Evoque and this new one continues the trend because it looks stunning from every angle. From certain angles, it looks like a smaller version of the Velar which is one of the prettiest looking SUVs out there right now. Steering feel though is still a bit lacking in feel and is on the lightweight side for sporty SUV driving like the Jaguar F-Pace SVR but it is ideal for bustling city streets.Įxterior Design – The 2020 Evoque took a lot of styling inspiration from its bigger brother, the Range Rover Velar. ![]() What this means is that around corners, more power can be sent to the wheel which has the most grip for better turning. Although unlike the old one, this 2020 Range Rover Evoque uses electronic clutch packs in the rear differential rather than hydraulic. Like the old generation Evoque, this new one is also equipped with real torque vectoring. Although this particular demo doesn’t have the Adaptive Dynamics package, it still feels lively through corners. Handling – The Evoque is a sporty little SUV. Emergency automatic braking is a standard feature on the 2020 Evoque. The can feel a bit sensitive to use but after a few times, you get used to how little pedal effort is required to stop the crossover. It doesn’t matter whether the crossover is in Normal, Sport, or manual modes, the transmission when downshifting is slow to respond to the driving situation.īraking – The brakes are strong despite the nearly 1,900 kg weight of the Evoque. While this 9-speed is fast and smooth on upshifts, it is slow, dimwitted, and jerky on downshifts. This is where some of the sporty driving dynamics fall short on the Evoque. Transmission – The only transmission available with the 2.0L turbo engine is a 9-speed automatic. Land Rover has not released official fuel economy figures at the time of writing this review. During my week with the 2020 Range Rover Evoque, I averaged 11.3 L/100km (20.1 mpg) in total. The actual restart of the engine is smoother than in other vehicles but it can become irritating after a short while.īut despite this little niggle, it’s a fairly efficient engine despite the heavy body that it has to move. Again, other vehicles shut off the auto start/stop feature automatically after one or two cycles but not the Evoque. Crawl a few feet and the engine gets shut off as you come to a stop. It’s the same story when you’re in stop/go traffic. Normally on other vehicles, the system is disabled to let the engine warm up for a few minutes but not on this. It’s a very aggressive system, more so than the one in the Mercedes-Benz E53 because it will shut off the engine even when it is ice cold on a chilly morning. It doesn’t provide any boost in power but it does shut off the engine when coming to a stop to save fuel. This new Evoque is also fitted with a 48-volt mild hybrid system.
