2018 Range Rover Evoque Summary

The Range Rover Evoque feels like it has been around forever. And it sort of has, if you count back to the 2008 Land Rover LRX concept car, which previewed the company's new design and marketing direction. Ten years on, and seven years after the launch of the road car, the Evoque still looks pretty and fresh.

The Indian-owned British company hasn't taken it easy, though. The Evoque has progressively been tweaked over the years and for the MY18 model year, the transition from Ford engines is complete. Jaguar Land Rover's Ingenium engines now take pride of place under the bonnet, so we grabbed the top-spec HSE with the top-spec engine to see if the baby Rangie can still cut it.

2017 Range Rover Evoque Summary

Every now and then an automotive design team gets one past the keeper. Responding to the brief for a concept car to preview a new direction for the brand, the Mac magicians and stylus twirlers whip up a show-stopping vehicle they'd like to see on the showroom floor, but in their heart-of-hearts know is a long shot for production.

Then, to everyone's surprise, it gets the tick of approval from management without so much as a tweak to the indicator stalk required. And that's exactly the feat Land Rover's design director, Gerry McGovern managed to pull off with the Range Rover Evoque.

The one-off LRX, a genuine concept car, displayed under the hot lights of the 2008 Detroit motor show, became the Evoque in 2011, a stunning, compact SUV that set the tone for a generation of Land Rover and Range Rover models to follow.

Offered globally as a three door 'Coupe' (not currently in Australia), five-door wagon, and full convertible, the Evoque has proved to be as flexible as it is head-turning.
