Close encounter with five-door version of new Range Rover Evoque, as we get a special preview
Range Rover’s new baby has a twin! We saw the sporty three-door Evoque at the recent Paris Motor Show, but now a new five-door version promises to offer the same desirability with superior versatility. We were granted a private audience
with the car to see how it’s shaping up.
Besides the additional pair of rear doors, there are no obvious major visual changes. The front ends are the same, while both cars are identical in width, length and wheelbase. There is one
key difference, though – an increase
in height of 30mm above the driver’s head and 40mm at the rear.
The five-door’s window line is less tapered towards the back. Step inside and the advantages are obvious, with
an airier cabin all-round. Those in the back gain a better view out of the side windows as well as more head and shoulder room, while the taller
windscreen gives better visibility.
Three trim levels – Pure, Prestige
and Dynamic
– offer understated,
luxurious and sporty design themes respectively. Optional eight-inch screens in the headrests keep those in the rear occupied, while dual view technology displays different content to the driver and passenger on the same screen. A 17-speaker stereo is also an option.
Car-like road manners will entertain keen drivers, and these can be
enhanced by MagneRide adjustable
suspension. Terrain Response
electronics should ensure four-
wheel-drive Evoques excel off-road.
A two-wheel-drive eD4 model will be offered that emits only 135g/km of CO2 from its 150bhp 2.2-litre diesel engine.
A 190bhp version of the same unit,
as well as a new 240bhp turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine, will be fitted
with four-wheel drive as standard.
The five-door will undercut its sportier sibling, with prices from £30,000. It is likely to account for 70 per cent of sales when both versions arrive next summer.
