Range Rover has released the Evoque earlier this year and it is currently the bestselling luxury SUV in the world. This is not surprising as the Evoque comes with a classy design that is developed with the aid of Victoria Beckham.
The Evoque comes with a variety of trim levels. There is the three-door model, the five-door model and multiple engine options for the consumers to choose from. Despite the variation, we feel that the Evoque 2.2L SD4 that runs on the 4WD platform is the best choice around.
Our pick retails at £38,795 and it is powered by a 2.2L diesel engine that generates 190hp and 310lb-ft of torque. No, it might not be able to accelerate from 0-60mph in 7.1 seconds like the petrol model but it does make a great all-rounder.
In detail, the 2.2L mill enables the Evoque to sprint from 0-60mph in 9.5 seconds, which is impressive in its own way. Also, there is a decent top speed of 124mph. The most important thing of all is that the Evoque returns 50mpg on combined driving conditions.
Handling the Evoque is also something really thrilling. The super responsive steering reacted to every turn without delay. It gives of a slight sway when on the inside as if that the vehicle is lifted on one side. Apparently, it is actually the suspensions that helps maintain grip while limiting body rolls.
Also, there is that Terrain Response system from Land Rover equipped on the Evoque. This enables the latter to climb a mountain or cross a river with ease. The award winning feature simply ensures that the Evoque is more than capable for off-roading as well.
All in all, the Range Rover Evoque has explained itself why it is the best luxury SUV right now. The fact that it can do just about anything while travelling on just about any form of roads makes it the perfect all-rounder SUV.
