Range Rover Evoque

An award winning car worldwide, the Range Rover Evoque definitely ‘evoques’ ones senses to the fullest.

·             Design & Engineering:

From the front, the Evoque bears a 21^st Century face, with the right use of grills and styling. All Range Rovers always manage to bear a face fit both for action and prestige. The availability of abstract colours such as lime green, help to increase the passion for adventure built into the Evoque. From the side, large rims fill up the still cavernous wheel arches, adding for extra flare. The Evoque comes as either a 3 or 5-door vehicle, though both variants retain the same, unique composure. From the rear, the use of aluminum and plastics help to add for that rugged look. In addition to the sporty outlook provided by the SUV, twin chrome pipes jut out at just the right area. Visually, the car is a delectable treat, with a low and wide stance and gorgeous swooping style. In short, the Evoque is a traffic stopper, in the best possible way yet.    

·            Interior

There is one reason why many choose the premium British brand. Movie stars, high-flyers, and large corporate companies buy Range Rovers for one reason—classic interior quality. Now acquired by the TATA group along with Jaguar, both brands sport outstanding interiors. For instance, the mid-level Jaguar XF has won outstanding awards for its high-quality and exquisite interior. Step into the Evoque, and be greeted with a vast amount of leather, all carefully treated and crafted to perfection. The door itself feels plush and well padded, along with the seats, carpets and steering wheel. In addition, the entire front dash is stiched in leather, and available in multiple colours of choice. A rotary gear, present in all (new) Jaguar models, finds itself in the new Evoque as well. Such ‘bling blings’ in the cabin help to keep the driver and the passenger well entertained, especially with interior goodies such as a panoramic roof, 8-inch high-definition-screen, Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, and a navigation system. Don’t forget to tick the 17-speaker, Meridian sound system, for a refined journey with premium quality sound. At the rear, passengers are also pampered, as they manage to relax in the comfort of premium leather, air-conditioning, as they enjoy the scenery around them. Surprisingly, interior space is relatively vast. A respectable 550-liters of space is available at disposable, with 1,350-liters as the rear seats fold down. What can I say? Simple: with a policy of using only the best, one can be sure to bet on the superb quality and refinement of the new Range Rover Evoque.   

·            Ride & Handlings

The test car featured a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, providing 240bhp and a top speed of 217km/h. Despite much criticism of the Evoque’s ‘off-roading’ capabilities, the Rangie tackles all sorts off climates, road-surfaces, and situations to the best of its abilities, surpassing expectations for such a quirky vehicle. Superb build quality from the Evoque results in a hushed ride, with the help of an intelligent suspension setup as well. The Evoque is surprisingly nippy and quick, considering its size and four-wheel-drive drive train. In short, the Evoque surpasses in being the everyday vehicle, yet managing to tackle any situation thrown at it—atta boy.

·            Verdict

Great capabilities, fantastic interior, and funky looks. Good to know that other abstract options such as the Evoque are available in the market.
