However, it’s not until July, 2011 that the subcompact luxury Evoque was manufactured in form of a crossover SUV, coming with both 2-wheel drive and four-wheel-drive layout.

Talking about the LRX concept vehicle or Evoque’s inspirer, we can’t neglect innovative vehicle technologies like the E-terrain set including regenerative brakes, electric rear axle drive parallel hybrid powertrain and a stop-start system with an integrated starter generator.

Evoque Pure is named the minimalist variant, Evoque Prestige highlights more luxury features while the Range Rover Evoque Dynamic stays focused on upgrading its performance.

4.3. Range Rover Evoque engines

Initially, 3 engine configurations were introduced without novel technologies. However, after the release of modern 9-speed automatic transmission by ZF Friedrichshafen, Land Rover has developed a variety of engines, presenting 3 exclusive powertrain configurations:

• 2L eD4 150 PS turbodiesel two-wheel drive manual gearbox
• 2L TD4 180PS permanent four-wheel drive 9 speed automatic
• 2L Si4 240 PS turbocharged petrol permanent all-wheel drive 9 speed automatic

Another bonus point here is the car’s fuel economy rate. The US EPA has reported that Evoque shows an estimation of 23 mpg in city and 34 mpg on highways, equivalent to 12L/100 km and 8.4L/100 km respectively.
