New Range Rover Evoque accessories
lots of action in 2019 from the British maker, even though it’s suffering at present due to diesel – its
traditional powerplant – being on the nose, plus rejection in Europe thanks to Brexit.
Just arrived is a new Range Rover Evoque, with a longer wheelbase that yields a bit more
rear-seat legroom and larger boot (now 591 liters) while the rear seatbacks are split 40/20/40 for
improved load-carrying versatility.
Drivetrain options are all 2.0-liter fours, with the turbodiesel available in 110kW/380Nm, 132kW/430Nm, and 177kW/500Nm outputs, and the turbo-petrol available with 147kW/320Nm, 183kW/365Nm, and 221kW/400Nm.

The three types of diesel and the top-spec turbo-petrol uses a 48-volt mild hybrid system that runs on battery power alone below 17km/h. All-wheel-drive, in high range only, is standard, along with a
nine-speed automatic. The cabin features all digital infotainment and instrumentation, plus a couple of party tricks. Ground View uses cameras in the grille and exterior mirrors to make the bonnet “invisible” by showing you, on the central touchscreen, what’s in front of and immediately under the vehicle. You can also get an image, uncluttered by rear-seat passengers or Evoque’s shallow back window, of what’s going on behind you, projected on to the rearview mirror.

You can also use your smartphone, via Land Rover’s In Control Remote app, to find your car, lock or unlock it, and pre-heat or pre-cool the cabin before you climb in. Evoque prices start at $64,640, and the 2019 model is available now.

A Land Rover Discovery Sport update, the larger mid-size seven-seater, is arriving shortly priced from $60,500 for the P200, with a 147kW 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine. The base 132kW 2.0-liter turbodiesel D180 opens the diesel lineup. Both are front-wheel drive.
Available in Land Rover’s usual S, SE, and HSE model designations, Discovery Sport also has 184kW 2.0-liter turbo-petrol P250 and 177kW D240 turbodiesel variants, each with an all-wheel drive-in high range only.

This Disco Sport also introduces a 48-volt mild-hybrid drivetrain, with an engine mounted belt-driven starter generator and 200-watt lithium-ion battery. Land Rover claims up to a six percent reduction in fuel consumption and emissions, with the engine shut off at speeds below 17km/h.
A plug-in hybrid is also due in 2020, along with a three-cylinder turbo-petrol base model.
Also featured on the update are new seats with more oddment storage and adjustable legroom in row
two, a larger 65-liter fuel tank, Land Rover’s Activity Key, a wearable waterproof wristband that works like a key, plus new infotainment, including a rearview display, wireless phone charging, and USB/12 volt connectors in each row of seats.

Finally, the long-awaited new Defender is in final testing prior to a launch slated for late 2019. Land Rover claims it has done 45,000 individual tests, over 1.2 million kilometers, in “some of the most extreme environments on earth” to ensure it retains Defender’s legendary off-road performance credentials. We await its arrival with great expectations.
