The Range Rover Evoque has been hugely successful; it has brought a lot of positive changes to Halewood and has contributed immensely to the success of Jaguar Land Rover, as well as boosting the whole UK automotive industry.
I started in February so I have witnessed the transformation in the factory that Evoque has brought with it. I have since been promoted to a Production Leader and I am grateful to the company for this amazing opportunity.
I am looking forward to continuing to support the business and helping us drive our success forward into the future. Despite the typical British summer weather, employees at Halewood enjoyed the roof-down experience of driving the Evoque Convertible on the Land Rover Experience off-road course as part of the birthday celebrations.

All come with all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic gearbox. The entry-level 2. Hence, if you go for a petrol, go for the P and spend the savings on some juicy options instead.
All these petrol and diesel engines mentioned so far get clever mild-hybrid technology which uses a separate volt electrical system to assist the engine and improve fuel economy. Finally, you can also have your Evoque as a plug-in hybrid — the Pe.
The result is the fastest Evoque on the range with hp and a six-second mph time. Performance of the hybrid is strong, although there is a delay from the gearbox while it kicks the petrol engine back into life. However, acceleration drops off above motorway speeds as the electric assistance diminishes. In our tests we found that you can expect low-thirties, which is still respectable.
Thankfully, it all smooths out nicely when you head out of town onto the motorway. Mash the throttle to leave a busy junction or overtake slow-moving traffic and it takes longer to change gear than in a BMW X1. At least R-Dynamic models come with paddles on the steering wheel so you can choose when to change gear yourself.
Besides the entry-level diesel D manual model, every Evoque comes with four-wheel drive. The basic system can disconnect drive to the rear wheels to save fuel and send power to all four wheels when it senses you need extra grip, while the more advanced system can send power to individual wheels if you find yourself stuck halfway through a seriously taxing off-road trail.
