2016 Range Rover Evoque TD4 180 SE REVIEW – New Engines, And The Better For It
THE 2016 RANGE ROVER EVOQUE IS ONE OF THE FIRST TO BENEFIT FROM JAGUAR LAND ROVER'S NEW ENGINE RANGE, IT GETS AN ALL-NEW JLR 'INGENIUM' DIESEL.
It’s a better engine than the Ford diesel it replaces, and while the Evoque is still hampered by an indecisive nine-speed auto, the rest of the car remains as good as at launch. But, now that it faces stiffer competition than before, it has to be good.
There’s also a new infotainment screen and software to add to the appeal, plus a front-end refresh – the Evoque still looks as sharp as ever.
Vehicle Style: Premium medium SUV
Price: $66,495 (plus on-roads)
Engine/trans: 132kW/420Nm 2.0-litre 4cyl turbo-diesel | 9spd auto
Fuel Economy claimed: 5.1 l/100km | tested: 8.9 l/100km
OVERVIEW
The sexy lines of the Range Rover Evoque have been with us for a few years, and while it’s regarded as a nice machine, it has previously relied on Ford-supplied engines.
Those days are over.
