Range Rover cars are in high demand in Russia, especially in the western part. This British manufacturer is famous for its luxurious and passable SUVs with powerful engines and a comfortable interior. The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque was no exception. This model was first born in 2011. The car is available in several body styles. This is a five- and three-door crossover (the latter received the prefix "coupe"). This car is produced to this day. What are the features of the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque? Overview, photos and specifications - further in our article.
Appearance
The design of this SUV will not leave anyone indifferent. The car evokes vivid emotions. This is a stylish urban crossover that instantly stands out from the stream. Even seven years after the release, the first models look impressive. Designers did their best.
Front Land Rover Range Rover Evoque features narrowed optics and a massive bumper with a powerful plastic trim at the bottom. The radiator grill is narrow, with large honeycombs for air passage. Also on the wings there are small "gills", which are a successful continuation of the head optics. The Range Rover Ewok car has protective plastic overlays on arches and thresholds. This has a positive effect on the LCP resource. After all, all the stones will fly on unpainted hard plastic. And glossy enamel will remain untouched.
Facelift
In 2014, the British slightly redesigned the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. Reviews say that the appearance of the restyled version is practically no different from the previous one, so there is no point in overpaying for it (if the car is bought in the secondary market).
Among the characteristic differences, it is worth noting only large cutouts in the front bumper. By the way, he himself became a little lower. Also, the car lost massive plastic door sills. On the wings, they remained the same. These are all the differences of the new version from dorestyling. But the car is still breathtaking with its strict optics and massive wheel arches.
Corrosion
Does this crossover rust in our harsh environment? As the operating experience shows, even after chips on the body does not form corrosion.
This is not surprising, because the hood and roof of the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque are made of aluminum. And the trunk lid and front wings are plastic. And the very quality of painting is at a high level. Owners do not make complaints about this.
Sizes, clearance
Judging by the dimensions, the car belongs to a compact class. So, in a five-door version, the machine has the following dimensions. Length - 4.36 meters, height - 1.64, width - 1.9 meters. The three-door crossover Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is slightly smaller than its fellow. So, its length is 4.35 meters, height - 1.6, but the width remains the same (1.9 meters). Also, the clearance remained the same. In both versions, it is 20 and a half centimeters. But is the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque so well adapted to our realities? According to reviews, the car has not developed geometric cross. Due to the large overhangs (especially in the restyled version), the crossover is difficult to adapt to off-road. But for operation in a city where in places there are a lot of broken roads and streets, the car fits perfectly. There is enough clearance to easily overcome even a deep hole. However, bumps are still better to pass at low speed - the tires are very thin here.
Salon
Interior design looks expensive and solid. Yes, there will be no newfangled multimedia and modern design solutions. The interior is more classic. But sitting inside is very nice. The seats have good lateral support and are adjustable in different planes. The steering wheel is a four-spoke, with a large set of buttons and a pair of chrome inserts. The instrument panel consists of two powerful wells with chrome trim, between which is located the digital display of the on-board computer.
Door cards are made in tone with the main upholstery. Also, speakers are integrated here. Music in the car sounds nice, even in a minimal configuration. The landing in the car is high, the racks do not interfere with the review. There are electric heated seats, steering wheel and mirrors. The glove compartment is quite roomy.
Now let's move on to the shortcomings of the Range Rover Ewok crossover. The second row of seats does not differ by the presence of such free space. Tall passengers will feel uncomfortable here. Also in the car there is a high floor tunnel, which significantly reduces the space.
Trunk
The boot volume of the Range Rover Ewok is 575 liters. At the same time, you can expand the space by folding the rear row of seats. As a result, 1145 liters will be available to the driver. The trunk has a low loading line. And the dimensions themselves are impressive. The length is more than one and a half meters, and the width is just over a meter. As such, there is no reserve. There is only a "dokatka" and a basic set of tools. All this is under the raised floor in the trunk.
