This 150hp turbodiesel Ingenium unit has 2WD, six-speed manual gearbox with CO2 emissions of just 109g/km and a Combined Cycle figure of 68mpg – making it the most efficient Land Rover ever. The latest range includes in its model line-up fuel/CO2 efficient E-Capability variants which carry a distinctive blue Evoque badge. However back to the latest Evoque, which with the new in-house JLR diesel engines is claimed to be 18% more fuel and CO2 efficient than the original models, with improved residual values, lower running costs and extended service intervals. Discovery Sport prices start from £30,695 and go up to £46,00 so it has price on its side and it is roomier. The 150hp unit has a six-speed manual gearbox and the 180hp engine offers the choice of manual or eight-speed automatic transmissions and all versions are 4WD. The Discovery Sport, also for the 2016 model year, receives the 150 and 180hp Ingenium diesel engines instead of the old 2.2-litre Ford units. This range, launched in January 2015, was the replacement for their long-serving Freelander models. The 150hp diesel has a manual gearbox and 2WD, the 180hp turbodiesel and 240hp petrol models have 4WD as standard and only come with automatic transmissions.Ī potential competitor for the Evoque, in addition to the Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLC and BMW X1 models, is the Land Rover Discovery Sport with five and seven seat versions. There is also a 2.0-litre turbocharged 240hp petrol unit as well. The main reason for doing so was that it is one of the first SUVs in the Land/Range Rover family to receive the new JLR Ingenium 2.0-litre turbodiesel engines which are available in 150 and 180hp forms. An Evoque convertible based on the coupé arrives in the range in the Spring of 2016 at prices ranging from £47,500 to £52,400, also with petrol and diesel power units.Īt the recent UK media launch for a variety of Land Rover and Jaguar 2016 model year vehicles I opted to test the Evoque five door, five seater mid-sized SUV as it is some time since I had tried this best-selling model. For 2016 the Evoque continues in five door and three door coupé forms, at prices ranging from £30,200 to £51,800, and with 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engine choices. The Range Rover Evoque for 2016 gets a mid-life refresh, but most importantly those updates include the use for the first time of Jaguar Land Rover’s own 2.0-litre Ingenium turbodiesel engines, which replace the previous Ford manufactured 2.2-litre units.įirst launched to great acclaim in 2011, the stylish Evoque became the brand’s best selling model range globally and in the UK. 2016 MODEL YEAR RANGE ROVER EVOQUE FIRST DRIVEīy David Miles (Miles Better News Agency)
