2019 Range Rover Evoque (Gen 2)

Range Rover Evoque edges closer to Velar

More size for Ranger Rover’s smallest SUV.

Land Rover has made its smallest Range Rover, a bit bigger.

Although its introduction rankled legacy Range Rover owners, a decade ago, Evoque has been a significant story for Land Rover. It has allowed the Ranger Rover brand, to sell in greater numbers and conquer an entirely new realm of customers.

One of the Evoque’s advantages is that its size – or lack, thereof. Compared to a traditional low-range enabled Range Rover, the Evoque has always been much smaller. And that makes it much easier to park or drive around a crowded urban environment.

But what if you need a bit more, from your Evoque, and don’t want a Velar? Land Rover’s solution is the new LWB Evoque.

Based on the second-generation Evoque, this LWB version is 4.53m long, compared to the standard SUV’s 4.37m. That additional length is mostly between its axles, with the Evoque LWB having a 160mm longer wheelbase.

With the greater overall length and a more generous wheelbase, this Evoque LWB should offer excellent comfort ergonomics, for its second-row passengers. This is, of course, exactly the invention from Land Rover, especially for the Chinese market, where LWB luxury vehicles, in all segments, enjoy robust demand.

Nearly new buying guide: Range Rover Evoque

There is plenty to like about this luxury off-roader, but be wary of reliability

The first-generation Range Rover Evoque was such a handsome beast it would have sold by the bucketload even if it had handled like a shopping trolley. As it turned out, it didn’t handle like one, but it did gain a bit of a reputation for poor reliability.

Unsurprisingly, this second-gen car didn’t mess with the visual formula. It was a gentle but neatly-styled evolution of the first, while underneath it introduced a range of more powerful and efficient engines and some upgraded tech. It’s a lovely car but guess what? You still might find yourself on firstname terms with your local Land Rover service manager.

Don’t write it off, though, because there is plenty to like here. To begin with, there were three power grades for both 2.0-litre petrol and diesel options. The petrol range consisted of a 197bhp P200, 247bhp P250 and 296bhp P300, while diesel lovers could pick between a 148bhp D150, 178bhp D180 and 237bhp D240. Merely a year after launch, the diesel range was revised to a 163bhp D165 and 197bhp D200. There was also a 305bhp plug-in hybrid, the P300e, for 34 miles of electric-only driving.

Aside from some front-wheel-drive versions of the D150 and D165, all Evoques have four-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic gearbox.

Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

New Range Rover Evoque has a charismatic, sophisticated character, with its reductive design now enhanced with the latest technologies and luxurious material choices for modern luxury clients.

Range Rover Evoque's reductive exterior presence is enhanced by a new grille and super-slim Pixel LED headlights with signature DRL, which deliver a technical, jewel-like appearance. New exterior accents and colours also complement the characteristic floating roof, unbroken waistline and the flush deployable door handles that define Range Rover's design DNA.

Inside, Range Rover's reductive design philosophy is amplified with a new 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen, seemingly floating within the driver's eyeline for improved visibility, while liberating space for interior stowage and Wireless Device Charging. Powered by Pivi Pro, with regular Software Over The Air drops and built-in Amazon Alexa, the new centre console offers clients a seamless, comfortable digital experience.

The latest technologies and material innovations also promote wellbeing in the refreshed cabin, provided by one of the most sophisticated interior air quality technologies in its class - Cabin Air Purification Plus. Tactile material options include non-leather UltrafabricsTM and KvadratTM textile seats to provide a new dimension of modern luxury.

Geraldine Ingham, Managing Director, Range Rover, said: "The original compact luxury Range Rover for the city is even smarter and more sophisticated than its predecessor. The cabin is reductive and serene, with new materials and colourways for effortless luxury. A single curved glass interface and clean air technology allows clients to enjoy the calm and tranquility that is the hallmark of a Range Rover."

Range Rover Evoque gets a refresh, here’s how much it’ll cost in South Africa

Hot on the heels of the updated Land Rover Discovery Sport, the British carmaker has announced a host of revisions for its platform partner the Range Rover Evoque.

Available to order in South Africa now, with prices starting at R1.25 million, the 2022 Model Year Range Rover Evoque receives subtle exterior enhancements as well as a more screen-centric cockpit and various specification updates including the addition of a new Autobiography grade.

On the outside we see new super-slim Pixel LED headlights which feature a jewel-like visual effect. New exterior colour options debut in the form of Tribeca Blue, Arroios Grey and Corinthian Bronze, and clients can also opt for various contrast roof options.

In the cabin of the 2024 model, designers have gone for a cleaner look, with virtually all of the traditional buttons and dials falling away, forcing occupants to use the new 11.4-inch Pivo Pro curved glass touchscreen, which is now placed higher and closer to the driver.

The new facelifted Range Rover Evoque has done away with interior buttons

Land Rover embraces minimalism… more

JLR has revealed the new design of the Range Rover Evoque. In a press release with more footnotes than a PhD thesis, this compact SUV has been refreshed and – drum roll please – there are no massive changes.

This mild hybrid with a 14.9kWh battery is now capable of up to 39 miles of pure electric range in official tests. Though JLR cites 30 miles of real-world range.

The P300e electric hybrid powertrain combines the three-cylinder Ingenium engine with an 80kW motor. JLR reckons that set-up only puts out 31g/km of CO2 emissions on longer journeys.

To make those longer journeys shorter, rapid charging capacity means its advanced battery will go from 0-80 per cent state of charge (SoC) in only 30 minutes, recharging fully on a 7kW charge point in two hours. Bear in mind, it’s a pretty small battery.

Taking on the chic streets of Paris in the 2024 Range Rover Evoque P300e

It’s quite agile too around corners and hugs the tar well but this Evoque isn’t designed to scoot around, it’s not what it’s about or in its design brief. Dial it down and it comes into its own floating along comfortably on highways and smooth sections of roads between beautiful French villages.

The Range Rover Evoque Autobiography P300e may be the entry point into the Range Rover marque but don’t be fooled, this is very much a Range Rover in terms of quality and refinement.

It’s available in South Africa starting at R1,258 ,100 in D200 diesel form, while the P300 hybrid range starts at R1,647,900.
