2019 Range Rover Evoque Review

The first Range Rover Evoque model, L538, was manufactured from 2011 to 2018. It had three or five doors, as well as two-wheel or four-wheel drive. In addition to the traditional grass, gravel, snow, and sand settings, the Terrain Response system also includes sport and eco modes. Land Rover off-road performance enhancements include a prominent driving position, hill descent control, and useful approach and departure angles. The Evoque has a unibody construction rather than a body on a frame.

The second-generation Evoque, codenamed L551, commenced production in 2018 and is still in production. This Evoque model has Land Rover’s new design language, which debuted with the Velar in 2017. There are retractable door handles, a smoother surface, and a new entertainment system with a second touchscreen and integrated climate control knobs.

The 2019 Range Rover Evoque has only one engine option: a 2.0 L (Petrol) engine paired with a 9-speed automated transmission.
