The high beltline and sloping roofline create very small rear window openings, which are not helped by very thick D-pillars. Outward visibility is by far the greatest blight against the Evoque’s interior. Headroom could be better in the rear, though it is nowhere near as compromised as the seductive roofline suggests. There’s comfortable legroom for adults there, but, for shoulder-room, three abreast is a bit of a squeeze. Rear seat passengers are well cared-for given the Evoque’s modest overall length. The perforated leather seats fitted to our Dynamic model provided good lateral support while also remaining comfortable for long-distance travel (even after several hours aboard). Controls like the HVAC, MMI and Terrain Response controls are simple to use, with large buttons and dials, and are well spaced along the centre stack. The fit and finish throughout is simply first-class, with no creaks nor rattles anywhere.Ĭomfort: Ergonomically things work. These are set-off with highlights of gloss piano black, ‘cold-feel’ door-handles and textured and knurled aluminium garnishes. There are supple leathers with contrasting stitching in the dash-pad, seats, armrests and console lid. Quality: The Evoque evokes (he-he) the same air of elegance and exclusivity inside as others from Range Rover’s premium line-up. Loaded for this test, it’s premium fare motoring. The turbocharged 2.0 litre petrol Evoque Si4 Dynamic model tested here shares the honour of being sportiest in the Australian range with the three-door Coupe Dynamic. The Evoque is based on the Freelander 2 platform, with a shorter and lower body over the same 2660mm wheelbase. And with an entry price just over half that of the next-in-line Range Rover Sport. It’s the first Range Rover without a low-range transfer case and the associated heavy-duty off-road ruggedness.Įveryone else however would seem to be pretty chuffed that the stunning LRX concept finally made production (earning it 2012 World Car Design of the Year). The Evoque has caused a bit of a stir among Range Rover die-hards.
