JLR pricing in this country is out of whack. Something about the exchange rate.

Tested: Range Rover Evoque is big on style and tech
VERDICT
Although it’s not the most practical choice out there, and it is expensive, with entry models starting at R734 300 and top versions creeping near the million rand mark, the second-generation Evoque is still a highly desirable SUV that oozes style and elegance, while impressing with its cabin technology. If you’d ever wished for a Mini Velar, then look no further than this…

Jaguar Land Rover says it won’t go smaller than ‘Golf-sized’ Evoque
A high-ranking Jaguar Land Rover executive says the British group has no plans to build smaller vehicles “just to get economy of scale”.
Speaking to Autocar, chief commercial officer Felix Bräutigam suggested the Range Rover Evoque was as compact as the firm would go.
“We should not and will not drive down into segments just to get economy of scale,” he told the publication.
“An Evoque is 4,37 metres and a Golf is 4,3 metres. It’s Golf sized,” Bräutigam added.
For the record, Jaguar’s E-Pace is slightly larger than the Evoque, measuring 4 395 mm nose to tail.

Land Rover launches Discovery Sport and Evoque plug-in hybrids
Fleet-friendly Discovery Sport and Evoque match three-cylinder petrol engine with electric motor
Land Rover has bucked the industry trend during the pandemic-induced shutdowns by launching two vital new models: the Discovery Sport PHEV and Range Rover Evoque PHEV.
Available to order now, the plug-in hybrid variants are arguably as important as the new Defender in terms of sales, because they’re targeted at the lucrative fleet markets. With no electric Land Rover available yet, they will also have a huge impact on reducing the brand’s fleet average CO2 emissions, which must be done in order to avoid fines from the EU.
Designed and engineered entirely in-house, the SUVs are described by Land Rover PHEV vehicle engineering manager Chris Carey as featuring “all brand new tech” produced in a “huge engineering effort”.
Work on the powertrain began in 2016 and was done in parallel with the creation of the Premium Transverse Architecture (PTA), which made its debut last year in the new Evoque and heavily updated Discovery Sport.
Both PHEV models, dubbed P300e, combine a new 197bhp turbocharged three-cylinder 1.5-litre Ingenium petrol engine with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and a 107bhp electric motor mounted on the rear axle. That links to a Samsung-sourced 15kWh battery pack. The result is a combined system output of 296bhp, with total (rather than combined) torque quoted at 398lb ft.

Spy Shots: 2021 Range Rover Evoque 7-Seater
Range Rover is working on a 7-seat version of its stylish Evoque. Here's what we know so far.
Our spy photographers have snapped something unusual. This Range Rover Evoque looks a bit longer than the standard model and a 7-seater version is planned to enter the market in 2021. We know Land Rover / Range Rover has the platforms and know-how to make a 3-row Evoque as there's the Discovery Sport which offers just that. This won't be a just a face swap however, as Evoque clientele are different to Discovery Sport customers.

Next Range Rover Evoque to use EV-focused platform
Back in February Jaguar Land Rover announced a radical shift in its future planning, one that would see Jaguar becoming an all-electric brand after 2025, with Land Rover transforming into a highly electrified brand that offers a mix between battery power and internal combustion.
JLR initially announced that this future line-up would be formed around three distinct platforms, but now new details about the actual products are starting to emerge. According to Autocar, the next-generation Range Rover Evoque and Discovery Sport compacts will be the first vehicles to use the upcoming EMA architecture, which was designed with a bias towards fully electric vehicles while still being capable of supporting “advanced” hybrid powertrains that include internal combustion engines as range extenders.
The new Evoque and Discovery Sport are due around 2024 and both will make a significant move upmarket in terms of pricing, Autocar adds. This is largely to recoup the costs of developing the new architecture, which is expected to account for about half of its sales by the end of this decade.
