Evoque 2018 Range Rover Evoque (gen II)

[Centurion]

A smaller Velar-esque Evoque will work. But with the latest advances they seem to be taking the USP from the Velar away from the Velar.

I feel a bit the same. Whilst the Velar looked ground breathtakingly unique at launch, it's clear that it's just a vehicle introducing the new RR design language and infotainment.

Eventhough the Evoque will resemble a smaller version of it, the Velar will still have an upper hand in presence and exclusivity e.g sleeker elongated profile and more expensive to buy.

New Range Rover Evoque Won’t Mess With A Successful Formula (Updated)

Range Rover Evoque has been a major hit for the company and it appears they won’t mess with success when it comes to the second-generation model.

Recently snapped undergoing testing on the Nürburgring, the redesigned Evoque has a familiar design that appears to adopt some styling cues from the Velar. While the prototype is heavily camouflaged, we can see the crossover will have an evolutionary front fascia with a slender grille which sits in between restyled headlights. The model also has a larger lower air intake and a familiar bulging hood.

Speaking of familiar styling cues, the next-generation Evoque will retain its muscular wheel arches that protrude from the body. The model also has a rakish windscreen, a compact greenhouse and an aggressively sloped roof.

The rear of the Evoque is heavily disguised but the model will apparently adopt new taillights that extend into the tailgate. The massive rear spoiler carries over as does the nearly flush rear bumper.

Interior will be updated too

The updated styling will continue in the cabin as the Evoque is slated to receive the Touch Pro Duo system from the Velar. It has a central infotainment system as well as a secondary display which provides access to climate control and convenience features. We can also expect higher quality materials and a digital instrument cluster.

The 2019 Evoque is expected to ride on an updated version of the D8 architecture. The modified platform is expected to pave the way for a roomier interior with additional rear seat legroom and cargo space.

What will power it?

Engine options remain unconfirmed but are expected to include an assortment of Ingenium four-cylinders. The petrol units are expected to produce between 237 hp (176 kW) and 296 hp (220 kW) while the diesels are slated to have outputs ranging from 148 hp (110 kW) to 237 hp (176 kW). All will reportedly be connected to a nine-speed automatic transmission which can be paired to either front- or all-wheel drive.

Later on, the company could introduce two hybrid variants with a small electric motor. Little is known about them but the hybrids could use a 1.5-liter petrol engine and a 2.0-liter diesel.

The redesigned Range Rover Evoque could be introduced later this year before going on sale in the middle of 2019.

2019 Range Rover Evoque Render Tries To Predict The Baby Velar

The smallest Range Rover of the bunch certainly won't skimp on style.
Launched way back in 2011, the Range Rover Evoque is one of the oldest luxury crossovers on sale today and even though it’s not actually showing its age in terms of design, it has to be renewed to fight off fresher segment rivals. Aside from having to compete with the likes of the BMW X1, Audi Q3, and the Mercedes GLA, the Evoque now has to go up against a model from within the Jaguar Land Rover domain, the E-Pace.

Numerous spy shots have shown prototypes undergoing testing on the Nürburgring while carrying the full production bodies, and that’s usually a sign an official reveal is slated to take place relatively soon. It should be out later this year, and to ease wait, we’ve used our crystal ball to imagine how the second generation of the posh crossover will look like based on those spotted test vehicles we’ve mentioned earlier.

Despite the heavy camouflage those prototypes were wearing, it was easy to notice the strong Velar vibes these were sending, which is why Range Rover’s baby crossover has been rendered with lots of cues taken from its bigger brother. Don’t expect to see those nifty pop-out door handles on the new Evoque as the vehicles that were tackling the Nordschleife had conventional handles.

While it won’t be an all-new model since it will stick to the same D8 platform, the 2019 Range Rover Evoque will benefit from upgraded underpinnings bringing a longer wheelbase and wider tracks. That’s certainly good news since the modifications will have a positive impact inside the slightly cramped cabin of the outgoing model. The coupe-like roofline is here to stay and it will once again eat into the amount of available headroom for rear passengers, but that’s the price to pay for having a stylish SUV.

Beyond its appearance, design boss Gerry McGovern has promised in an interview with Autocar that the new Evoque will be “more modern, more precise, more comfortable, more luxurious.” Power is expected to come from JLR’s latest and greatest Ingenium gasoline and diesel engines, while a mild hybrid system is also on the agenda. Gasoline- and diesel-electric hybrids are also believed to be in the works.

We might get to see the 2019 Evoque early October at the Paris Motor Show or even sooner if Land Rover will be kind enough to reveal the fashionable SUV earlier on the World Wide Web.

Hmm. A baby Velar?

No surprise. Same interior as the other Range Rovers.

Next-Gen Land Rover Evoque Spied Climbing Curbs At The 'Ring

The new Evoque looks like a Velar after spending a few moments underneath a shrink ray.
While not a vehicle that the vast majority of owners would ever take on the track, Land Rover continues to abuse the next-gen Range Rover Evoque around the Nürburgring. This spy video catches a test mule riding the curbs and making its tires squeal at the Nordschleife.
Unfortunately, Land Rover hasn't yet started the striptease of removing camouflage from the new Evoque, so this video doesn't provide a much better look at the design than in previous clips. The overall styling for the next-gen model takes considerable cues from the larger Range Rover Velar. The two SUVs share similar front ends, particularly the narrow grille that flows into angular headlights. More prominent intakes in the corners set the Evoque apart.

The updated Evoque will skirt the line between a refresh and a whole new generation. Underneath the overhauled design, the model will continue to ride on a revised version of the existing platform that will feature a wider track and longer wheelbase. A 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder will reportedly still be available to power the stylish SUV. Later, a mild-hybrid powertrain that will combine a three-cylinder 1.5-liter powerplant and an electric motor will also allegedly join the powertrain range, and there will also be a plug-in variant of this setup.
Inside, spy shots show an updated cabin. The infotainment screen sits on top of the center stack. Lower down, the knobs for the HVAC control feature digital temperature displays. The instrument panel remains largely the same, and photos show it retaining analog dials, which are quickly falling out of favor in premium vehicles.

The new Evoque will reportedly arrive in 2019 as a 2020 model year vehicle in the United States. European customers will possibly get it a little earlier. After axing the three-door variant due to poor sales, don't expect that variant to return for the latest model. There's no word yet on whether a new Convertible could arrive during the new generation.

The next one will have big shoes to fill, JLR have built about 750,000 of them since 2011, they better not screw it up.

Range Rover Evoque Spied In Stuttgart Showing Some Battle Damage

It either had a crash, or engineers decided to access hidden components the easy way.
We’ve seen the next Range Rover Evoque quite a lot in recent months, mostly from the Nürburgring where it hasn’t had a relaxing visit to say the least. This time around, however, we caught the smallish SUV taking a leisurely drive down a city street. Or rather, it’s going up a city street since it’s clear the prototype is tackling quite a hill. If our dead reckoning is accurate we’d say that city street is in Stuttgart. Also, the SUV passes a sign that says Stuttgart. We have a gift for the obvious.
That brings us to this particular test vehicle, which seems a bit worse for wear. Actually, compared to the other Evoque prototypes we’ve seen this one appears quite rough around the edges. We don’t know if there was some kind of collision up front or if this is just a very early tester designed to provide easy access to components behind the fascia. Considering the abundance of black tape on the left side and the way the camo wrap is peeling at the bottom, we’d say this SUV had a chance encounter with something it wasn’t supposed to.
Similarly, it looks like something punched a hole in the rear fascia, but again, there appears to be something in there that could require quick access. In this instance, it looks like the covering was intentionally cut but it certainly doesn’t make for a pretty prototype. We do get a slightly better look at the taillights on this one, though details are still well obscured. As for the front, with half the fascia apparently missing we can’t really gauge any new styling tweaks there, either.

The next-generation Evoque will stick with the current platform, and we know the overall shape will be very familiar. The devil lies in the details with this SUV, and we’re expecting the big changes to come with a wider stance and longer wheelbase, thus creating more passenger space inside.

Despite the apparent back-tracking with this janky prototype, we still expect to see the new Evoque unwrapped next year as a 2020 model.

- new JLR platform, not from Ford anymore

 

[Centurion]

My biggest annoyance about the Evoque is misaligned panels and I see them far more often then I should.

Considering the high price of the car its utterly unacceptable and I would reject a car with misalignment that can be spotted two car lengths away.

 

[AndreB]

My girlfriend has the first generation Evoque and is a really bad car, the worst thing is the acceleration lag. You floor it and 2 seconds later it goes, its almost dangerous to cross an intersection.

Suspension is horrible as well, very stiff and the car is shacking on not so smooth roads.

Fuel economy is very poor, 14l/km in city driving, my A8 is 20% more fuel efficient.

The only good thing about Evoque is the look, its really nice inside and you expect a very refined ride but it's totally the opposite.

Misaligned panels are not even a problem, LOL

Even if I squint......
I can't see anything different.

 

[Centurion]

What a waste of metal. The sculpture looks identical to the outgoing model.

 

[SCOTT27]

Imagine the meeting.
Just the same as before it it's not broken don't try to fix it.
But make it a little bit more butch.
What do you mean butch?
Smooth the lines? Give it the family face?
Just give it some "Sensual Purity" that seems to work...

Just a wee question what company do you work for again?

 

[SCOTT27]

I praise and criticise design in equal measure. I don't have any particular bias and I do voice my opinions. But as an example.

Toyota CH-R
A. The designer should have stopped drawing.
B. The designers colleagues should have taken away his pencil.
C. The designers colleagues should have jabbed his compass in the designers hand to stop him drawing.
