First is the P250, which makes 246 horsepower and comes in the base and First Edition models. The Evoque is powered by one of two versions of a turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder and comes standard with a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. Secondly, going with the R-Dynamic SE versus the R-Dynamic S adds features such as a power liftgate, the Touch Pro Duo infotainment system, 14-way power-adjustable front seats, automatic high-beam headlamps with auto-leveling, LED daytime running lights, and 20-inch wheels. ![]() First of all, it comes with the P300-the more powerful of the two available powertrains-that uses a state-of-the-art 48-volt hybrid system to make extra power. The complaining engine and bothersome road noise of older Evoques is banished, decisively.We'd go with the mid-range R-Dynamic SE model for a number of reasons. It’s well-served by the new platform and its additional sound deadening. JLR’s Ingenium is a solid four-banger, with a refined voice and ready torque throughout its powerband. This new design supposedly lets the engine react more swiftly to right-pedal commands. Reengineered mounts let the engine nestle much lower, in line with the vehicle’s roll axis Rover engineers say the old four-banger actually swung in the engine bay under acceleration, forcing them to counter it with compromised gearbox tuning that dampened engine response. For either transverse-mounted engine, a new driveline disconnect system can power front wheels exclusively to save fuel, or divert torque for four-wheel grip. ![]() These Evoques will be powered exclusively by Jaguar Land Rover’s turbocharged, 2.0-liter four, in a choice of two strengths: 246 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque in starter models or pricier, mild-hybrid R-Dynamic versions with 296 horses and 295 pound-feet. A new, independent Integral Link design suspends the rear. The new platform, which shares only door hinges with the departing model, gets a MacPherson strut front suspension, with fluid-filled bushings to sooth steering-column vibrations. Front door pockets now hold 1.5-liter bottles, and the center console, with its twin sliding armrests, is notably enlarged. Total cargo space jumps to 50.5 cubic feet with the 40/20/40 split rear seats folded-not far off the mark of the much-larger Audi Q5, though about 20 percent less than the spacious BMW X3. Cargo space behind rear seats grows by 6 percent, to 21.5 cubic feet. ![]() As ever, there’s just enough room for two good-sized adults, with the panoramic sunroof impinging a bit on headspace. The Evoque’s wheelbase does grow by 0.8 inches, which affords a skosh more rear kneeroom, and more foot space thanks to higher mounting points for front seats. Because of the Rover’s tall height and stance, including 8.3 inches of ground clearance (nearly matching a Jeep Cherokee), you might not realize that it’s actually shorter from bumper to bumper than a subcompact Audi Q3 or Mercedes GLA-Class, and up to 14 inches shorter than “compact” SUV’s like the Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC or BMW X3. ![]() The Evoque’s exterior footprint is virtually unchanged, stretching just over 172 inches in overall length.
