First drive: Range Rover Evoque

Land Rover

Range Rover's bestseller has been updated and promises to be better than ever, but can its facelifted
Evoque live up to expectations? We went to Barcelona to put it to the test.

What is it?

It is the second generation of the Range Rover Evoque, which has become Land Rover's best-selling vehicle with one in every three Land Rovers now sold being an Evoque. It offers premium luxury, modern muscular looks and excellent off-road ability for those craving adventure.

The facelift means that the front end looks much more muscular than before thanks to larger front vents and a more dominant grille. Blue and red Evoque badges are situated at the back to differentiate the super-economical models from the sportier specs. Because of its distinctive looks, the Evoque offers class-leading residual values if you ever want to sell.
