Background
Even though the Range Rover Evoque hasn’t been the longest standing model in Range Rover’s line-up, it IS the British marque’s best-selling model. One of the design briefs for this premium compact SUV was to broaden the audience for potential Range Rover buyers that weren’t able to stretch to the bigger, more expensive Range Rover Sport. Is that to say this Range Rover is bargain basement? No, not at all.
The world first saw this compact premium SUV as the LRX concept, which was debuted at the North American International Auto Show in 2008 and went in to production as the Evoque as we know it in 2011. Even though it’s a smaller model, it did not forgo Land Rover tech as used in larger models such as e_Terrain technologies.
To cut out the jargon, this meant it was able to offer features such as biofuel compatibility, lightweight materials, an electric rear axle, regenerative braking, and a hybrid powertrain. Speaking of powertrains, the Evoque was available with two petrol engine choices and two diesel, with Ford supplying two of those, and Jaguar Land Rover supplying the other two.
Not all Range Rover Evoques are created equal, though, as some were lucky enough to be touched by the hands of Overfinch. For those not in the know, Overfinch is a British company that enhances Land Rovers and Range Rovers, as well as adding exclusivity.
