There are plenty of Velar vibes in the new RangeRover Evoque. Here’s what you need to know about the local range... IOLMotoring
Johannesburg - The original Range Rover Evoque rocked the premium compact SUV market almost a decade ago with its daring look inspired by the LRX Concept, and now it’s time for the remake, which has just docked in South Africa.
You’ll get Ground View when opting for the 360-degree Surround View system, which is an R8400 extra, while the fancy mirror costs between R300 and R3000 depending on model.Yes, as much as some might want to make pavement-hopping jokes about the smallest ‘Chelsea Tractor’, the Evoque is equipped for medium-level off-roading, with permanent all-wheel-drive fitted as standard, along with Terrain Response 2, which offers four modes: Comfort, Sand, Grass-Gravel-Snow, and Mud & Ruts.
The petrol unit produces 183kW and 365Nm, and gets you from 0-100km/h in 7.5 seconds , while the diesel unit is good for 132kW and 430Nm, with 100 coming up in 9.3 seconds. Both are mated to a ZF nine-speed automatic gearbox.The Evoque’s cleaner-looking cabin also gets some Velar glamour, with the company’s new Touch Duo electronic interface, with a separate lower screen for the climate control functions, being standard from the SE grade upwards.
You can see the full price list below, but for now let’s take a look at what the different model grades have to offer as standard.The Base version is fitted with a 25.4cm single touchscreen infotainment system with reverse camera, and other standard features include push-button start, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, ambient lighting, front and rear parking aids, Driver Condition Monitor and Lane Keep Assist.
