It says the latest
SUV is particularly suitable for the urban jungle in addition to other
terrains. According to a
statement by the Coscharis Motors’ Brand officer, Cletus
Aregbesola, the new Evoque is built on the strengths of the best-selling
original. Combining all-terrain ability with
on-road composure, the Evoque’s new vehicle architecture, updated technologies
and world-class features make it more comfortable, capable and connected than
ever before.
He describes new Range Rover Evoque as
a sophisticated evolution of the original. Combining unrivalled Range Rover heritage with cutting-edge technology, designed, engineered and
manufactured in Britain, the vehicle is said to meet the needs of today’s
customers.
Range Rover Evoque’s enduring profile
and coupé-like silhouette is typified by its distinctive roofline and rising
waist. Outstanding volume and proportions are amplified by its pronounced
shoulders and powerful wheel arches that, alongside 21-inch wheels, combine to
create a strong and dynamic attitude.
The Range Rover Evoque is based on Land
Rover’s new mixed-metal Premium Transverse Architecture, which is13 per cent
stiffer than its predecessor and together with rigidly-mounted subframes that
reduce noise and vibration intrusion into the cabin. With a 21mm longer
wheelbase and compact new suspension design, the compact SUV delivers increased
interior room and improved handling in all conditions.
Its Terrain
Response 2 is said to be available as standard for the first time on new Evoque
with All-Wheel Drive and automatic transmission. Not only will this allow drivers to
choose from four modes (Comfort, Sand, Grass-Gravel-Snow, and Mud & Ruts)
to optimise performance and capability,
but the new Auto mode enables Evoque to select the most appropriate mode forthe
conditions and automatically adjust its torque delivery to suit the terrain.
Ground clearance is 212mm, while
approach and departure angles are 25 degrees in the front and 30.6 degrees in
the rear.
Evoque’s maximum
wading depth of 600mm can be effectively monitored with optional Wade Sensing. Ultrasonic sensors in the exterior
mirrors accurately measure the depth of the water, which is displayed on the
central touchscreen.
The latest
Evoque comes with a variety of all-terrain
technologies such as Hill Descent Control, Gradient Release Control and
All-Terrain Progress Control. It is also allied with assistance
features such as Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist, which centres
the vehicle in the lane based on road markings as well as maintaining a safe
distance from the vehicle infront. “The latest Range
Rover Evoque has all the credentials to go above and beyond,” it states.
There is a reversing camera as standard
on all models, alongside a suite of advanced driver assistance systems.
The introduction of super-slim Matrix
LED headlamps provides a more sophisticated front and rear lamp graphic. Flush
door handles add to the smooth, sculpted aesthetic, while sweeping directional
indicators create a purposeful signature.
Interior
Inside, the finely crafted design
integrates uncluttered surfaces and simple lines with carefully curated premium
materials to create a luxurious, minimalist, digital cabin. Technical textiles
that use recycled plastics are offered as premium alternatives to leather, such
as a Kvadratwool blend and Dinamica® suede cloth, as well as Eucalyptus and
Ultra fabrics™ options.
The
footprints are almost identical,
yet built on Land Rover’s new mixed-material PremiumTransverse Architecture, there is more
interior space than before. A longer wheelbase yields 20mm extra rear knee room
and an increase in small item stowage – the larger glove box and centre cubby
can now fit tablets, handbags and bottles with ease.
The luggage space
is 10 per cent larger (591 litres) as well as much wider and easily fits a
folded pram or set of golfclubs, with space increasing to 1,383 litres when the
flexible 40:20:40 second-row seats arefolded.l Featuring special textiles and trim finishes, two new seat options are
on offer. Customers can choose seats
upholstered in a premium alternative to leather developed by Danish textile
experts, Kvadrat – a high-quality material that combines a durable wool
blendpaired with a technical Dinamica® suedecloth, made from recycled plastic
bottles.
In addition, customers will have the
option of a new Eucalyptus textile produced from natural fibres that when
grown, use significantly less water than traditional materials and featuring
alongside a new lightweight performance material not derived from animals. Each
option has a sumptuous feel and unique design, offering a truly premium
alternative to leather. (Punch)
