The new Range Rover Evoque takes the SUV to new levels of luxury
With a fresh technology boost and cutting architectural lines, as well as an interior stacked with luxury mod cons, the new Range Rover Evoque has roared on in to Hong Kong.
And nine years since Land Rover made the debut, it’s the smartest, most luxurious compact SUV ever.
Witness the evolution
First launched in 2010, the new Range Rover Evoque builds on the original’s popular design, serving up a sophisticated evolution of the SUV’s coupé-esque shape.
Still with its distinctive slant roofline and rising waist, the new model carries a broad shoulder and 20-inch wheels, sat over a 4.37m footprint.
Getting down to the details, designer features include Premium LED headlamps, for both front and back, gleaming like jewels when lit up at night. Flush door handles smooth out the sculpted aesthetic, as directional indicators sweep each side. Drivers can even opt for burnished copper accents for a metallic finish to their vehicle.
The architecture has also been developed for electrification, as a 48-volt mild-hybrid—a first for Land Rover—which harvests energy normally lost during deceleration and storing it in the under-floor battery.
At speeds below 17km/h, the engine will shut off while the driver applies the brakes. When pulling away, the stored energy is redeployed to assist the engine under acceleration and reduce fuel consumption. The result is a refined, quiet and efficient drive in built-up traffic-heavy areas, in addition to efficiency savings.
