Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019) At A Glance
Range Rover style, practicality, off-road ability and badging on a budget.
Uncomfortable seats, woeful infotainment technology.
Given that the Range Rover Evoque started life as the next Land Rover Freelander, but suddenly found itself upgraded to Range Rover status en route to launch in order to justify its price, you’d be forgiven for approaching it with a degree of suspicion. But regardless of its backstory, it won over an army of buyers and is a worthy alternative to the Best Used SUVs around.
Lest we forget, the company first set about re-evaluating the brand with the irritatingly successful Range Rover Sport; a cocksure mongrel disguising Discovery underpinnings beneath slightly brash detailing and marketing-lie badging.
So, the Range Rover Evoque actually constitutes Round 2. Was this, then, a true Range Rover – a worthy rival to such upmarket down-sizer SUVs as the Audi Q3, the A-Class-based Mercedes GLA and the BMW X3, or merely the boastful bearer of what some might consider an increasingly devalued brand badge?
That’s the question this Range Rover Evoque review will attempt to answer.
Much has been made of how closely the car resembles the stunning, 2008 LRX concept from which it was spawned. Land Rover furtively perpetuated this perception by refusing to allow concept and finished article to be photographed anywhere near each other.
430mm shorter than a proper Range Rover, with enormous door mirrors, the Evoque certainly is, viewed from any angle, a fabulous looking machine. Compared with unremittingly blobby rivals, it stands out exquisitely.
Happily, the ‘bling’ factor increasingly besetting Range Rovers of the era has been kept to a minimum here, and is largely restricted to the now familiar grille modelled on the blades of a chop-anything kitchen appliance, plus distinctive running lights.
Boasting a roofline 35mm lower than that of five-door versions, the three-door car is the most aesthetically pleasing model. With the classic, Range Rover floating roof sloping rearwards this acutely, you’d expect to find back seat accommodation somewhat compromised, and it’s something of a packaging miracle that this is, in fact, not the case.
The interior is tidy, nicely trimmed and a far more conservative effort that that hinted at by the Range Rover Evoque’s exterior couture.
The only jarring notes are provided by a multimedia touchscreen that falls short of Range Rover quality in terms of operational speed and tactility, and the little chips of clear plastic that numerate the driver’s instrument dials, allowing the back-lighting to turn a vulgar red when ‘sport’ mode is engaged.
At launch, powerplant options were all welterweight four-cylinder affairs, restricted to a choice of 150PS and 190PS, 2.2-litre diesel units and a 240PS, 2.0-litre petrol engine.
The lesser diesel proves extremely lethargic, and, although the more powerful unit’s 8.5-second 0-62mph time suggests adequate enthusiasm, it’s mated to a sluggish gearbox.
All of which is a pity, because the Evoque rides and handles with considerable aplomb. The steering is light by Range Rover standards, but nicely accurate.
Thanks to trick, ‘MagnaRide’ adaptive suspension, body composure is little short of extraordinary for a car this tall, and the Evoque can be chucked about with surprising alacrity. Best of all, though, when cruising at motorway speeds, it does give you just enough of that majestic, Range Rover feeling of being insulated from mere mortals on the road.
With off-roading ability a given in any Land Rover, what really determined the badging of the Evoque as a Range Rover was the price. At launch this car could be yours for as little as £27,955.
But by the time you’d added enough toys to make it feel like a true Range Rover and armed it with a powerplant that stood even a fighting chance of pulling a Christmas cracker, there was no change from £40,000.
A 190PS 2.0 litre diesel and nine-speed transmission joined the fray in 2014, by which time Range Rover Evoque pricing was on something of a charge, and kitting out a car to more than £50,000 became commonplace.
With no V6 waiting in the wings, the question, then, was; would you fork out forty grand and more for a car with a four-cylinder engine?
Whatever your take on this, the Range Rover Evoque absolutely flew out of showrooms from the off. There was a deal of speculation when the nee-Land Rover first broke cover as to whether its concept car looks would stand the test of time. We should not have worried.

Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019) handling and engines
- Engines range from 2.0 Si4 240 Automatic to 2.2 SD4 Coupe Automatic
- Readers report Real MPG to be between 17–53 mpg
Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019): Handling and ride quality
Meaty yet gently meandering, the Range Rover Evoque’s steering feels the least sharp on the uptake among its rivals. The brakes, too, possess a first-prod sponginess entirely absent in the competition.
However, thanks to trick, adaptive suspension, body composure is little short of extraordinary, and the car combines just enough of the imperious motorway cruise you expect of a Range Rover with the ability to be chucked about with alacrity.
Switch to ‘dynamic’ mode and the driver’s instrument dials turns red, whilst the dampers turn to concrete. It’s pointless; the ride becomes unpleasantly firm to the point of jarring, whilst the handling doesn’t appear to improve greatly.
The 2014 Evoque arrived with no fewer than nine cogs in the gearbox. We would better understand the argument for more cogs keeping you in a diesel’s narrow powerband for longer, if it was more apparent what numbers six to nine are actually up to for most of the time.
Leave the car in ‘D’ and the absence of a numeric binnacle display leaves you none the wiser. Stick it in ‘S’ and, driving A-roads with any vim at all, they rarely come into play.
In truth, the shifting’s good enough that you’re not over-aware of the number of cogs on offer. But there are moments when, left to its own devices, the gearbox succumbs to frenetic hunting from one ratio to the next.
Perhaps more salient is the issue of justifying nine gears when, even in Sport mode, the transmission still responds to a kick-down request from the throttle with little urgency.
Being largely ABS system-based, off-roading abilities fall more into the Freelander than Range Rover category, but that’s not to be sniffed at. There are a couple of new tricks on offer, including a hill descent control which allows you to adjust the speed of descent within a limited range.
As ever with off-roading, it largely comes down to tyres and ground clearance. Despite riding 25mm lower on its suspension than a Freelander, the Range Rover Evoque excels at the latter.
It tackles really quite unpleasant surfaces with such aplomb you quickly forget you’re driving over terrain that would simply rip the guts out of any conventional car.
Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019): Engines
At launch, powerplant options were all four-cylinder affairs, restricted to a choice of 150PS and 190PS, 2.2-litre diesel units and a 240PS, 2.0-litre petrol engine.
The lesser diesel is particularly sluggish, and although the more powerful unit’s 8.5-second 0-62mph time suggests adequate enthusiasm, it’s mated to a very lethargic six-speed gearbox.
A 190PS 2.0 litre diesel and nine-speed transmission arrived in 2014. It takes 8.5 seconds to go from 0-62mph when mated to an automatic gearbox (it’s slower with a manual), while the four-wheel drive 150PS diesel combination takes 10.8 seconds, and the front-wheel drive variant 11.2 seconds.
Those who live on motorways will probably favour the extra oomph of the 190PS diesel. All-wheel-drive Range Rover Evoques outnumber front-wheel-drive models by 10 to one, but don’t discount the latter if you’re going to be driving exclusively on tarmac.
Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019): Safety
The Range Rover Evoque received a maximum five-star rating from Euro NCAP when it was crash tested in 2011.
However the test has been made considerably more stringent since then, so newer rivals such as the Mercedes GLA had to meet tougher standards to achieve the same rating.
Included among the standard safety kit are seatbelt pretensioners and electronic stability control. And there are numerous options to choose from if you wish to further boost safety. These include a lane keeping assistance system and a road sign camera that displays relevant warnings on the dashboard.
Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019): Towing
Despite being derided by some as being a prime example of style over substance, the Range Rover Evoque still has legitimate pulling power, with an unbraked towing weight of 750kg or 1800kg braked.

Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019): Practicality
Every time you climb back aboard the little Range Rover Evoque, you re-marvel at the neat trick it pulls off in providing a surprisingly high driving position within a chopped, svelte bodyshell. Never mind the fact that every time you get out you have to be careful not to skin the top of your head on the door frame.
With a roofline sloping rearwards this acutely, you’d expect to find back seat accommodation compromised, and it’s something of a packaging miracle that this is, in fact, not the case. The five-door model is 40mm higher than the three-door Coupe, which adds up to slightly more head and legroom in the back seats.
Life is, however, less than luxurious back there, with the conjunction of the rising belt line and sloping roof reducing rear glazing to mere shard status and guaranteeing claustrophobia for smaller children.
Access to the rear of the three-door Range Rover Evoque is a real bone cracker. The seat base doesn’t simply spring forward when you tilt the back; it’s powered by a painfully slow motor that whirs indolently into life.
Once in, the dire seat comfort and a poor view out do little to raise the spirits.
There’s plenty of room up front, but proceedings are blighted by a ridiculously uncomfortable driver’s seat which really makes its presence felt on the back of your thighs after a three-hour stint.
Measured to the rear parcel shelf, loadspace is a reasonable 420 litres, rising to 575 litres (550 for the three-door model) if you fill to the roof. Flop the rear seats flat and the five-door Range Rover Evoque has a maximum capacity of 1445 litres, falling to 1350 litres for the three-door car.
Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019): Quality and finish
The interior is tidy and nicely trimmed, with well sized switchgear. Much of the cabin is leather-clad, interior plastics benefit from expensive-looking finishes, and controls such as the rotary dial automatic gearbox control are made of metal that’s pleasingly cool to the touch.
Despite such nice touches, the money has clearly been spent on primarily pleasing the eye above all other senses...
Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019): Infotainment
Even after a mid-life upgrade, the creaking eight-inch infotainment touchscreen still fell well short of rivals in terms of operational speed and tactility.
It’s far too slow to respond to input, leaving you stabbing the screen too often in the hope of a response and, hence, confusing it even further.
The all-singing version may offer numerous outside camera views, as well as a split screen for allowing the passenger to enjoy a DVD whilst the driver views the sat nav, but that hardly compensates for the fingertip bruising required to operate the system.
The steering wheel switchgear is also clunky to use and frustratingly slow on the uptake.
Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019) value for money
Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019): Prices
A 190PS 2.0 litre diesel and nine-speed transmission joined the fray in 2014, by which time Range Rover Evoque pricing was on something of a charge.
The Range Rover Evoque Coupe Dynamic Auto 4WD we drove was priced at a hefty £41,510, but kitted out it weighed in at a daunting £51,890.
You may, however, have been able to afford a five-door specimen with the same all-wheel-drive powertrain – including the new nine-speed automatic transmission – for as little as £32,710.
The Range Rover Evoque holds its value pretty well and newer models are still fairly expensive. A good compromise might be a 2015 or 2016 model with the newer diesel engine, but which has had time to shed more of its value.
Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019): Running Costs
Fuel economy and CO2 emissions for the Range Rover Evoque differ slightly between the three-door and slightly heavier five-door versions.
Best fuel-efficiency honours go to a three-door car with the 150PS Ingenium diesel engine, which claims 67.3mpg (65.7 for the five-door). Though CO2 emissions are an impressive 109g/km, this engine is only available with front-wheel drive and a manual gearbox.
The more powerful 190PS 2.0-litre diesel is only available with all-wheel drive and a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. In manual guise, fuel economy is quoted as 58.9mpg for the five-door version, whereas the automatic returns 57.7mpg and 55.4mpg for three-and five-door models respectively.
Figures for the 240PS 2.0 litre petrol unit are considerably worse. Only available in one trim level – HSE Dynamic Lux – and with five doors, this engine returns only 38.7mpg and generates CO2 emissions of 165g/km.

The first Range Rover Evoques shouldered their way into the limelight with a choice of three trim levels.
The Range Rover Evoque Pure got the ball rolling with a pretty comprehensive standard equipment specification, which includes 18-inch wheels, leather upholstery, heated front seats, an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen complete with Bluetooth connectivity and an excellent, 10-speaker Meridian stereo, air-conditioning, cruise control and rear parking sensors.
The Range Rover Evoque Prestige added more equipment in the shape of xenon headlights, upgraded leather and carpets, front parking sensors, a reversing camera and voice recognition infotainment control.
The Range Rover Evoque Dynamic trim level brought Adaptive Dynamics adjustable suspension into the mix, a boon for driving in slippery conditions, and also featured more assertive exterior styling touches.
Buyers could also add a Range Rover Evoque Tech Pack to the Pure model, which includes automatic lights and wipers, a heated windscreen, front parking sensors and sat nav.
A Range Rover Evoque Lux Pack was available for Prestige and Dynamic versions. This included a panoramic sunroof, keyless entry, a powered tailgate, blind spot monitoring, a 360-degree parking camera and upgraded air-conditioning.
In later models, the trim structure changed to Evoque SE, Evoque SE Tech, Evoque HSE Dynamic, Evoque HSE Dynamic Lux and Evoque Autobiography.
The ‘basic’ Range Rover Evoque SE groaned under the weight of heated leather seats, a leather steering wheel, an eight-speaker stereo with DAB digital radio (a bit of a downgrade from the Meridian system), 18-inch alloy wheels, lane-departure warning, cruise control, all-round parking sensors, and automatic headlights and wipers. Range Rover Evoque SE Tech added black styling inserts, 12-way adjustable seats, sat nav, front foglights, Xenon headlights and a heated windscreen.
Numerous styling additions identified the Range Rover Evoque HSE Dynamic including front and rear bumper treatment and 20-inch alloys. The trim level also featured a premium sat-nav and stereo, in-car wi-fi, a rear parking camera, and all-round cameras for tight spots.
Range Rover Evoque HSE Dynamic Lux added a surround-sound stereo, powered tailgate, lane-keeping assistance, a surround view camera and an automatic parking system. And Range Rover Evoque Autobiography topped it all off with a full leather interior, 14-way adjustable, heated and cooled seats and bespoke 20-inch alloys.

Range Rover E
voque made its debut The Evoque is the first Range Rover to offer a choice between a full-time four-wheel-drive system, which delivers outstanding performance and traction on all surfaces, and a lower carbon, front-wheel-drive option for further enhanced fuel economy. The Range Rover Evoque’s formidable all-terrain potential is enhanced by the latest version of the company’s signature Terrain Response system.

Prices announced
Land Rover announced that new Range Rover Evoque prices in the UK will start from £27,955 for an eD4 Pure 5-door 6 Speed manual 2WD model. The 4WD equivalent is priced at £28,705.
With a choice of three engines, two body styles, three design themes and a wide range of options and accessories, the new Range Rover Evoque offers customers significant choice across a range of price points. The top-of-the-range Si4 6 Speed automatic Dynamic coupé with LUX pack is available for £44,320.
The Range Rover Evoque will be offered in both 5-door and Coupé forms and will go on-sale from September 2011. A smooth and refined powertrain line-up is available with a choice of state-of-the-art diesel or petrol engines. The updated 2.2-litre turbodiesel has 150PS or 190PS derivatives. The 2WD (on-sale early 2012) Coupé version combined with the 150 PS 2.2-litre engine is set to achieve sub 130g/km CO2.
The new 240PS 2.0-litre Si4 petrol engine combines direct fuel injection, turbocharging and twin variable valve timing for exceptional driveability and fuel-efficiency and delivers 0-60mph in 7.1 seconds.
In place of a traditional trim hierarchy, customers can choose from three distinct design themes, which include many features as standard. A wide range of personalisation opportunities are also available, allowing customers to fully tailor the Evoque to individual tastes and requirements.
Options available include 12 exterior colours, three contrasting roof treatments, seven alloy wheel designs, 16 contrasting interiors and a full sized, fixed, panoramic glass roof. A new online configurator goes live today, making it simple for customers to create their perfect Range Rover Evoque.
The engine, transmission, drive and design theme combinations available are as follows:
- eD4 diesel 150hp 6-speed manual 2WD (Pure and Prestige) - available from 2012

- SD4 diesel 190bhp 6-speed automatic 4WD (Pure, Prestige, Dynamic)
- Si4 petrol 240hp 6-speed automatic 4WD (Dynamic)
In place of the conventional equipment grade hierarchy, three defining design themes have been developed for the Evoque: Pure, with a contemporary feel; Prestige, which majors on luxury and Dynamic, which embraces a bold and sporting character. Each theme has a distinct appeal in terms of exterior styling, interior appointments and equipment specifications, which offer the highest level of on-board comfort, entertainment, communications and convenience.
Pure
Evoque Pure is the purest expression of the original LRX concept. On the outside it is distinguished by the high-gloss black detailing across the tailgate and along the waistline, with a dark 'Atlas' finish to the grille and eye-catching side fender blades and, on the Coupé, bonnet louvres. As standard, Pure models come with 18-inch Sparkle Silver alloy wheels and 235/60 R18 tyres.
Inside, the seats are finished in grain leather, and satin brushed aluminium is used for the centre console trim. Highlights of the standard equipment on board include heated front seats, an 8-inch high-resolution touch screen display, climate control air conditioning, an 11-speaker Meridian audio system with subwoofer, push-button start, Bluetooth for mobile phone connection and audio streaming, twin USB ports, which support portable audio connectivity and cruise control.
The handling and safety systems include Hill Launch Assist, rear parking sensors and, on 4WD versions, Terrain Response to set up the vehicle for different off-road environments, and Hill Descent Control.
Prestige
Luxury informs every element of the Evoque Prestige models, from the exterior bright 'Atlas' detailing and 19-inch Diamond Turned alloy wheels with 235/55 R19 tyres, to the fine Oxford full leather interior in a selection of warm and inviting colour schemes with real wood finishers, tailored carpet mats and chrome tread plates. Metallic paint is also provided as standard and Prestige models benefit from xenon headlamps with signature LED lighting and front fog lamps.
Similarly, the equipment specification delivers the highest quality features, with an HDD satellite navigation system with dynamic route guidance and voice control option. It also displays 4WD performance information and provides an audio server for storing uncompressed digital music files. There is also a rear camera, front parking sensors and automatic headlamps and windscreen wipers.
Dynamic
The Dynamic theme adds a real sporting presence to Evoque with the addition of deeper body colour sills and bumpers, and black-finished mirrors, grille and side fender blades that are all exclusive to the design theme. Add the 20-inch Sparkle Silver alloys with 245/45 R20 tyres and there is no mistaking that the Evoque Dynamic means business.
Inside the cabin detailed touches reinforce the theme with aluminium pedal covers, a textured metal finish to the centre console and perforated leather around the steering wheel and (manual) gearshift. The striking exterior of the Dynamic is complemented by a range of bold interior colour schemes.
Dynamic models also come with Adaptive Dynamics featuring MagnaRide as standard for and an even sharper ride and handling. Adaptive Dynamics is also available as an option for Prestige SD4 models at a cost of £1150.
Pure with TECH Pack
Many of the key technology features available in the range have been brought together in a TECH Pack to enhance the Pure theme even further. The pack includes the following additional features:
- HDD premium navigation system
- Front parking aid
- Heated windscreen and windscreen washers
- Automatic headlamps
- Headlamp power-wash
- Rain-sensing windscreen wipers
Opting for the TECH Pack represents excellent value, adding just £1,900 to the standard Pure prices.

- Powered tailgate and panoramic glass roof with power blinds

November 2011
Five door Evoque introduced
Like the Coupé, the 5-Door Range Rover Evoque remains faithful to the spirit of the Land Rover LRX concept car, offering a new interpretation of the original cross-coupé design.
The more capacious interior of the five-Door Range Rover Evoque has not been achieved by enlarging the compact footprint of the Coupe model: the overall length and width remain identical. Like the Coupe, smart design, meticulous engineering and clever packaging has ensured that the 5-Door Evoque delivers the core Range Rover values of luxury, refined performance and all-terrain capability while remaining true to the spirit of the LRX concept design.
Measuring 30mm taller than the coupé model, the five-Door Range Rover Evoque adds further space and versatility to the luxurious cabin. Rear seat passengers benefit from over 50mm more shoulder room, along with generous headroom which compares very favourably to traditional sporting saloons.
A full-sized glass panoramic roof enhances the sensation of space and comfort by flooding the interior with natural light, and offers even greater headroom for all occupants. For growing families, the 5-Door Evoque provides the versatility and luggage space of a compact station wagon.The rear seats, with seat belts and head restraints for three passengers, have 60/40 folding seat squabs and are equipped with Isofix child seat mounts. When required, luggage capacity can be expanded to a substantial 1445 litres.
The optional Adaptive Dynamics system with advanced MagneRide dampers provides an exceptional balance between a supple, controlled ride and sharper handling responses. The five-Door Range Rover Evoque shares its turbocharged powertrain line-up with the Coupé model. The state-of-the-art diesel and petrol engines offer smooth and responsive performance, blending four-cylinder efficiency with six-cylinder refinement and power. Customers can choose between two comprehensively updated 2.2-litre turbodiesel derivatives, with 190PS or 150PS. In the 5-Door model, the front-wheel drive Range Rover Evoque with the 150PS 2.2-litre engine achieves sub 135g/km CO2.
A new 240PS, 2.0-litre Si4 petrol engine combines direct fuel injection, turbocharging and twin variable valve timing for exceptional driveability and fuel efficiency.
January 2013
Sicilian Yellow Limited Edition model introduced
Based on the 2013 Evoque Dynamic derivative, the Limited Edition sports a number of unique features giving it a truly striking appearance. Orders are being taken now with deliveries beginning in May.
Available in coupe and 5-door, customers can choose from two exterior colour schemes, each one unique to the Limited Edition model and based on a new Black Design Pack. Choices include a Sicilian Yellow exterior body finish with a Santorini Black contrast roof, or a Santorini Black exterior body finish with a Sicilian Yellow contrast roof and door mirrors. Unique interior finishes include yellow contrast stitching on seats, central storage area, door trims and fascia mid-section, plus an anodised yellow horizontal finisher.
This limited edition model debuts the Black Design Pack which will be available independently of the Limited Edition from April 2013. The Black Design Pack will be available exclusively on Dynamic models and includes rear sport spoiler, darkened front headlights and fog lamps, black Range Rover lettering, clear rear lamps, 20-inch Gloss Black forged wheels, Santorini Black painted bumper sections and dark exhaust finishers.
March 2013
Nine-speed ZF automatic announced for Evoque, to replace the 6-speed auto that has suffered a number of failures after 4-5 years in the Freelander. It also has the benefit of offering a lower ratio first gear – useful when setting off on inclines, on low grip surfaces or when towing trailers or caravans. Unlike most automatic gearboxes it can ‘skip’ gears – it might shift from sixth to fourth directly, which makes for more responsive throttle response and easier overtaking.
Despite having three more gear ratios, the nine-speed ZF transmission is only 6mm longer than the six-speed gearbox it’s to replace, and it weighs 7.5kg less. It should be fitted to Range Rover Evoques and other Range Rover models from 2014.
February 2014
Evoque Autobiography Dynamic unveiled
Land Rover is introducing the Autobiography name to the Range Rover Evoque for the first time with the more powerful, more agile Autobiography Dynamic featuring a 285PS turbocharged engine and optimised chassis for enhanced performance and sharper handling.
The Autobiography Dynamic derivative sees the Evoque’s 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, upgraded to 285PS and 400Nm, a substantial 45PS and 60Nm increase. Its 9-speed ZF transmission now responds even more keenly to sportier driver inputs, including when left in Drive.
Active driveline is optional on all Range Rover Evoque derivatives and comes as standard equipment on the Autobiography Dynamic. One of the world’s first four-wheel-drive systems of its kind, active driveline improves traction, enhances agility and improves fuel efficiency by engaging four-wheel drive seamlessly and automatically when required.
Further increasing driver enjoyment, the steering of the Autobiography Dynamic has been specially tuned for additional on-centre precision; the chassis also features upgraded suspension geometry, firmer spring rates and recalibrated adaptive dampers, increasing agility and turn-in response. This has been achieved without impacting on the Range Rover Evoque’s compliant ride quality.
To ensure drivers can fully experience the Autobiography Dynamic’s optimised performance, upgraded 350mm front brake discs have been fitted, while Torque Vectoring by Braking (TVB) is standard equipment. TVB helps to reduce understeer on low- and high-grip surfaces, providing more responsive handling characteristics.
Inside, the Autobiography Dynamic is equipped with a luxurious leather interior in a selection of six colour palettes. Customers can choose from a dynamic plus leather interior with either sports or premium climate seats and a choice of four colours. Headrests feature an Autobiography embossed logo whilst Autobiography illuminated tread plates greet you as you open the door.
June 2015
Ingenium diesel engine introduced
to the Range Rover Evoque. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium diesel engine delivers class-leading torque and power outputs, combined with excellent refinement, reduced CO2 emissions and lower fuel consumption.
EU6 compliant Ingenium engine available with two power outputs, 150PS and 180PS. The 150PS derivative provides fuel economy of up to 57.7mpg and CO 2 emissions from 129g/km, whilst the TD4 180PS idelivers 139g/km and 53.3 mpg on the combined cycle.
The aluminium, chain cam TD4 engine features lightweight construction, with stiff cylinder blocks and decoupled injectors, which ensures low levels of vibration and noise intrusion, further enhancing the driver experience.
May 2017
Evoque Landmark edition launched
To celebrate six years of success, Land Rover announced a new Landmark edition. The Evoque Landmark is available in a vibrant Moraine Blue colour – inspired by the turquoise lakes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
The Evoque Landmark edition is also available in Yulong White and Corris Grey. It has a dynamic body kit and grey exterior design details including a fixed panoramic roof in Carpathian Grey, 19-inch Gloss Dark Grey alloy wheels and Graphite Atlas grille, bonnet, fender vent and tailgate lettering. Dark grey accents continue on the interior in the form of brushed satin centre console trim finishers surrounded by grained Ebony leather seats with contrasting Light Lunar stitching and a perforated mid-section. The Landmark edition also has Keyless Entry and Powered Gesture Tailgate convenience features as standard.
The Landmark edition is based on the diesel, 180PS TD4 Evoque priced at £39,000 for the manual and £40,840 for the automatic.
June 2017
Choice of all-new 240PS and 290PS Ingenium Si4 petrol engines added to Range Rover Evoque engine range, in addition to new 240PS Ingenium Sd4 diesel. 290PS Si4 Ingenium petrol comes with a 'dynamic' bodykit as standard. Ingenium petrol and diesel powertrain family produced at Jaguar Land Rover’s Engine Manufacturing Centre in Wolverhampton.
The 240PS Ingenium Petrol engine is 15 per cent more efficient than the previously-available GTDi engine. NEDC CO2 emissions are 165g/km and fuel economy of 7.3l/100km (38.7mpg). The 290PS Ingenium Petrol engine accelerates from 0-100km/h in 6.3 seconds (0-60mph in 6.0 seconds) and on to a top speed of 231km/h (144mph).
Buyers who choose the higher-powered Ingenium Petrol will receive the Dynamic exterior pack, comprising enlarged front and rear bumpers, Gloss Black finishes for the grille, vents and 20-inch five split-spoke alloy wheels.
To give buyers clearer choice, the colour palette has been revised. Core palette: Fuji White and Narvik Black; Metallic: Yulong White, Indus Silver, Corris Grey, Santorini Black, Loire Blue, Firenze Red and Kaikoura Stone; and Premium: Silicon Silver and Carpathian Grey. Phoenix Orange becomes a unique colour to the convertible bodystyle.
To accentuate the sporty feel of Evoque, new Sports Seats can be specified, with perforated and distinctive horizontally-ribbed inserts.

12-06-2013:Report of engine failure due to lack of oil in year old Evoque. However, the car had reached 23,000 miles, had missed its first service by 6,000 miles and it was likely that the oil level had never been checked, so this is no more than a warning to check the engine oil level every fortnight or so.
22-10-2013:Complaint of bad engine vibration through the steering wheel of 6 month old 2WD Evoque. Worst at between 1000-2000rpm. Land Rover engineer advised that the "slight" resonance felt at a certain speed and rpm, is due to the harmonics of the engine and this has been replicated in all eight similar vehicles that were tested. He concluded that the vehicle is working to design intent, and does not require any remedial action.

10-02-2017:Report of reader buying a navigation update from the Land Rover website for his 2012 Range Rover Evoque.
