2013 land rover range rover evoque review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Land rover's urban-friendly, all-terrain crossover. introductionland rover's range rover evoque delivers luxury, utility and reasonable fuel economy in a stylish, compact package. Evoque brings land rover's legendary off-road capability to a subcompact suv. Its wide cabin means plenty of space for those in front with good space in the rear for two more. Its turbocharged engine delivers a good balance between responsiveness and fuel economy thanks to evoque's relative light weight. evoque is similar in size to the bmw x1 and european-market audi q3 that comprise a new class of premium subcompact sport-utility vehicles. These subcompact suvs are smaller than the compact suvs such as the bmw x3, mercedes-benz glk-class, audi q5, and acura rdx. evoque is wider than all of these, however, a substantial 3. 3 inches wider than the bmw x3, for example. As a result, there's more elbow room inside. And it looks great: evoque's width and low roofline, the lowest in the class, contributes to its athletic look and aggressive stance. though relatively small, evoque delivers cargo versatility with a hatchback design. Fold the rear seatbacks forward and cargo capacity expands to a useful 51 cubic feet, allowing the range rover evoque to carry more cargo than can be put in a bmw x1. interior appointments are luxurious, comparable to those from mercedes, bmw, and audi. All the compact and subcompact suvs are rated for five passengers, but none of them provide anything approaching comfort for a center rear seat occupant and the evoque is no exception. the range rover evoque comes in two body styles, a five-door and a three-door coupe. The original show car was the coupe, a body style not offered by any competitor. The engine is rated for 240 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque. We found it works very well. It pulls smoothly and has very little throttle lag. The 6-speed automatic, which includes paddle shifters for manual operation, kicks down quickly for passing, and it delivers respectable acceleration performance. Land rover quotes a 0 to 60 mph time of 7. 1 seconds. evoque's small size and light weight (by class standards) adds up to a decent power-to-weight ratio and respectable fuel economy ratings: 20/28 mpg city/highway. evoque stands out in its class for its off-road capability. Most of the others in this class have no off-road pretensions whatsoever, though they can handle primitive roads. Evoque's off-road capability sustains land rover's tradition of exceptional go-anywhere proficiency, an area of performance that its competitors lack. evoque was launched as a 2012 model. For 2013, evoque adds a new base model called pure. 2013 range rover evoque models also offer a new park assist automated parking feature, off-road navigation information, and a new black land rover logo in the grille. The evoque five-door comes in pure, pure plus, pure premium, dynamic, and prestige trim levels. A climate package 1,000) adds heated windshield with heated windshield washer jets, heated steering wheel, and heated front seats. The magneride automatic damping system costs $1,250, and the advanced park assist self-parking system runs $600. Other options include satellite and hd radio 750), rear dvd entertainment 2,500), ebony headliner 275), and two types of 20-inch wheels 2,000 or $2,500). safety equipment standard on all evoque models includes dual front airbags, front side airbags, curtain side airbags, tire-pressure monitor, anti-lock brakes, traction control, electronic stability control with trailer stability assist and roll stability control, hill start assist, hill descent control, gradient release control, and front and rear park assist. walkaroundthe range rover evoque is about the same size as the audi q3, which is not sold in the u. S., and just slightly smaller than the bmw x1. Evoque is six inches shorter than the mercedes-benz glk, and more than 10 inches shorter than the acura rdx, audi q5, and bmw x3. Diminutive dimensions are a plus in urban environments, as well as in rugged terrain. the evoque coupe and five-door bodies are nearly identical in dimensions. They ride on the same 104. 8-inch wheelbase. They are the same overall length, 171. 5 inches. They are the same width: 77. 4 inches. Measuring 64. 4 inches tall, the five-door models are 1. 2 inches taller than the coupes. evoque's sassy exterior design began with the lrx, a 2-door concept unveiled at the 2008 north american international automobile show in detroit. It was intended primarily as a statement by the company's new design chief, gerry mcgovern. With its back-slanting roofline, rising beltline, and short overhangs, the lrx looked a little like a large scale mini cooper, an impression fortified by the option of contrasting roof colors, a design distinction the mini has used effectively. Uniformly enthusiastic response by show-goers quickly moved the lrx out of the dream car category into production reality. And the production evoque held very much to the lrx concept. launched as a 2012 model, the evoque is leading a redesign of the entire land rover lineup. An all-new range rover followed as a 2013 model and the range rover sport is following as a 2014. the evoque has the same 108. 4-inch wheelbase as the land rover lr2. The sloping roofline and ascending beltline conspire to compromise rearward vision, and sightlines in the rear quarters are limited. on the other hand, if style wasn't important, we'd all be driving cars that look like the old checker marathon taxicabs. For someone who wants a compact luxury crossover that's a departure from the rectilinear mainstream, the evoque merits a longer look. interiorevoque is handsomely appointed and attractively designed. While the dashboard, door panels and armrests are all soft to the touch, they don't match the quality of the range rover flagship model 83,500), and everything from the glovebox down is hard plastic.
