Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2013 Review

We all love luxury cars. If you see such a vehicle on the road, you will take a look at least two or three times. One such vehicle is the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. This vehicle is developed and produced by Jaguar Land Rover under their Land Rover marque. And this is a luxury crossover SUV. So today the CarsGuide team is reviewing for you the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2013 which belongs to the first generation of Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

Exterior Design

As the exterior of the Range Rover Evoque is available in several colours and you can buy this vehicle in the color of your choice. Let’s first see how the front view of this vehicle has been designed. When talking about the headlight type of the vehicle, there are halogen headlamps. But an automatic high beam assist has been provided as an option. You can also see fog lights. When talking about the front view of the vehicle, you can see the headlight washers.

Now let’s talk about the side view of the vehicle.

We can see the body-colour door handles of this vehicle. Talking about side mirrors, the vehicle has power folding side mirrors. Also, they are designed with the same body-colour. We can also see tinted glass on the vehicle. The other thing is that because it has a panoramic sunroof, it is a good experience for passengers.

When looking at the rear view of the vehicle, the first thing that catches our eye is the ‘Range Rover’ badge. Below that, we can see the Land Rover badge on the side. Also, this vehicle has got a rear window defroster. Rear fog lights can also be seen.
The Range Rover Evoque has a ground clearance of 212 mm. This vehicle has been given a boot space of 420 liters. By folding the back seat, the boot capacity can be increased up to 1445 liters.

Interior Design

At first glance, an aluminum finish has been given to the interior of this vehicle. And we can see five leather seats.

Talking about the drive cabin, this vehicle has got a leather-wrapped steering wheel. There are phone buttons and cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. And you can see a slightly bigger dual cupholder. Heated seats are available at the front. Also, the seats in the drive cabin have been designed to provide a comfortable ride for the driver and front passenger. We can also see that there is good legroom and headroom.

Talking about the passenger cabin, because there are three seats, three people can fit in. However, in cases where only two people are traveling, the middle seat can be used as an armrest, so you can commute comfortably. However, in general, good legroom and headroom have been given to the passenger cabin of this vehicle.

Since this is a luxury vehicle, we notice the tech features. The vehicle has a 5-inch display between the speedometer and the tachometer. This display provides fuel level, temperature, gear position and audio details of the vehicle. When talking about the center console, you can see an 8-inch high-resolution touchscreen.

When the vehicle is started, the gear knob comes up. By stepping on the brake, we can shift the gear. The other thing is that you get to see a good mix of audio options in this vehicle. That mix includes HD radio, Satellite radio and Bluetooth audio.

Performance

The Range Rover Evoque is powered by a turbocharged 2 liter 4-cylinder engine.
This engine gives an output of 240 hp. It can also get a torque of 133 Nm. The 2-liter engine can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 20%. Therefore, this vehicle can be quite friendly on the environment.

The Range Rover Evoque has a 6-speed automatic transmission along with a standard all-wheel drive.Its fuel consumption is 8.7 liters per 100 km. So, since the fuel tank capacity of the vehicle is 57 liters, according to this capacity, you can drive 655 km. And this vehicle can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 7.1 seconds.

Ride Quality

This vehicle gives us a relaxed ride. Because when driving, the body motions that occur are well controlled. We also feel the steering wheel well. The other thing is that when traveling on slopes, the speed of each wheel is limited. But this vehicle gives us a quick acceleration. If there is no hard acceleration, quick acceleration adds stress to the engine and transmission. And it burns fuel quickly.

Safety & Technology

When talking about the safety of the Range Rover Evoque, we see two types of airbags. These are, side curtain airbags and front-side airbags.

We can see a standard rear-view camera and parking sensors in this vehicle. What happens in these parking sensors is that when something gets too close to the vehicle, this sensor emits a beep. Also, parking sensors are designed to detect backing up obstacles. So, with these sensors, it is possible to detect vehicles in front or behind the vehicle or other things. They also prevent collision.

Apart from this, the safety features of this vehicle include adaptive headlights, a 360-view camera, a blind spot monitor, a parallel park assist, anti-lock brakes, traction control and an anti-skid system.
