Range Rover Evoque Hits 53 Awards

Range Rover Evoque Hits 53 Awards

Never before has the British public had such choices when it comes to the purchase of a 4×4 vehicle, as all of the major car manufacturers are now producing their own versions of this classic type of car. While most of them have made some massive strides forward in this area, there is still one company that stands head and shoulders above the rest though – the original purveyor of 4×4 vehicles, Land Rover. This isn’t surprising though, as they have decades of knowledge behind them in this area and an almost rabid fan base, keen to purchase anything that this manufacturer produces.
In some cases, this fan base could be a dangerous thing, as it means that the manufacturer could get away with producing vehicles that only barely come up to scratch. This is certainly not the case with Land Rover though and the new Land Rover Evoque proves this without any need for argument. With everything that a driver could ever want, as well as the features that made Land Rover such a powerful name in the first place, the Land Rover Evoque is a car that should be considered by any 4×4 fan, even if they never get the chance to make it out into the wilds.
There are a number of different articles online that extoll the virtues of the interior and the comfort of the Land Rover Evoque, but not many that get to the real nitty-gritty – what is it like under the bonnet? So the rest of this article is going to discuss just that…
When analysing the performance of any car, the first place that anyone would start is the engine, and the engines provided with the Land Rover Evoque should more than meet anyone’s requirements. With a 2.0 litre petrol engine or a 2.2 litre diesel alternative, any choice of engine will ensure that the car has enough “grunt” to be able to accelerate quickly and maintain high speeds, both of which are important to today’s urban driver. The engines will also only emit a small amount of noise, which is a far cry from most of the noisy and overbearing 4x4s on the road today.
When it comes to the steering and suspension, there have been a number of technologies used to ensure that the ride is as pleasurable as possible. The 4WD option ensures that the car handles like a dream and the steering is neither too heavy nor too light, meaning that it will go exactly in the direction you want it to. With Electronic Traction Control and Dynamic Stability Control fitted as standard, you can further be ensured that the ride will be an excellent one.
The safety features are an incredibly important aspect of any car and the Land Rover Evoque doesn’t fail to deliver here, which is one of the reasons why it is an excellent family car. The braking system – including ABS as standard – is incredibly robust and reliable, and the car also comes with airbags and high quality restraint systems.
