2016 Range Rover Evoque

 Review

The Range Rover Evoque is a compact
luxury crossover SUV produced by the British manufacturer Land Rover. It has been produced since July 2011 in three and five-door versions, with both two-wheel and
four-wheel drive . The Evoque is designed to appeal to urban buyers and meet requirements for lower CO2 emissions and
fuel economy . The production vehicle is similar to the Land Rover LRX concept , which was unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in January 2008. [4] The Evoque has been received positively by the automotive press for retaining the features, amenities, and off-road capabilities of a traditional Range Rover in a smaller package. Land Rover sold nearly 88,000 units of the Evoque in its first year of production.

The Evoque was developed from the LRX concept vehicle with the goal of producing a smaller more environmentally conscious vehicle. The size of the LRX complemented a wide array of efficiency improving technologies in the form of Land Rover’s e_Terrain technologies. These included biofuel compatibility, lightweight construction materials and technologies such as the removable carbon composite roof panels, regenerative brakes , a stop-start system, and the ERAD (electric rear axle drive) parallel hybrid powertrain system.ERAD was designed to reduce CO2 emissions by an average of 20 percent under the NEDC test cycle and was expected to offer another 10 percent reduction in extra-urban driving situations while also optimising theoff-road ability of the vehicle. Land Rover aimed to achieve 120 g/km CO2 emissions and fuel economy of 60 mpg -imp (4.7 L/100 km; 50 mpg -US ) on the European combined cycle with an efficient 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine. [8] The engine would become the only four-cylinder vehicle in the Range Rover lineup.

 A Land Rover first was an air intake system integrated into the roof which offered exceptional wading capabilities though this feature did not make it to the production model. Land Rover's Range Rover styling was visually apparent in the form of the clamshell bonnet, the ‘floating’ roof, dual-pocket headlamps, and raked roof line.Interior design improvements were another main focus of the LRX concept though the interior of the production Evoque changed significantly from theconcept LRX. Notable interior features in the LRX included ambient interior lighting that changed according to Terrain Response settings, and vehicle data which was presented to the driver through a ‘floating’ three-dimensional
LCD display. An aluminium centre console with an iPhone docking station stretched the length of the cabin, separating the four seats and the tailgate. Seats with open frameworks were used to give the impression of an airy interior while also creating useful under-seat and under-floor stowage areas. Electric motors folded the rear seats forward providing enough room for two mountain bikes to be fitted upright, with front wheels removed and stored in dedicated slots in the floor.
