Top Gear review Range Rover Evoque - video

While some of the Top Gear office regard it as a two-doored, two-wheel drive metropolitan abomination of all that we hold dear about this company's utilitarian past, even they can't deny that it's going to do very well.
Expect it to be the ride of choice for all Fulham/Cheshire-based wives from next summer - much as the Audi TT and Mini have dominated that market in the past.
As design director Gerry McGovern says, the Evoque is a "bold evolution of Range Rover design".

 Underneath that handsome face lurks some clever tech. You get the option of front-wheel drive for the first time in a Range Rover, together with adaptive dampers and something called a ‘Terrain Response' system on the four-wheel drive. We like the sound of that...
The base engine is a 148bhp, 2.2-litre diesel which returns 58mpg and creeps under 130g/km of CO2 (in the front-wheel-drive model), while a 2.0-litre, 238bhp petrol engine offers up a 0-60mph time of 7.1 seconds.

 You get loads of techie bits like park assist, blind spot monitoring, surround camera system with digital cameras, TV, DVD and keyless entry. We're still waiting to see if it's got something called ‘electric windows', so check back for updates.
Land Rover is offering the Evoque in three design themes: Pure (brushed aluminium trim, soft-touch materials), Prestige and Dynamic. Prestige gives you ‘sparkly metallic details', while Dynamic gets you 20-inch rims and Big Respec'.

 This little crossover SUV will cost from £30,000 when it goes on sale in summer 2011. And it's Made In Britain. It's split the Top Gear office fairly cleanly down the middle, so we want to know what you think. / text by cars.co.uk

You can also opt for the eD4 2WD Diesel engine to further help optimise your fuel economy.
The dynamic profile, dramatic rising beltline and muscular shoulders give Range Rover Evoque a natural presence and magnetism.
There’s also a wide range of smart technology options from LED and Xenon lighting to towing cameras. You can even add a dramatic full panoramic roof.
Intuitive technology to enhance your comfort and convenience includes advanced Voice Control and two multi-function high-definition colour displays.
The central 8 inch Touch-screen is the signature Range Rover control and display interface for communication and entertainment, while directly in front of the driver there’s a new 5 inch colour information display.
Subtle, customer configurable, interior mood lighting creates a signature Range Rover driving experience day and night.

The 8 inch Touch-screen together with the 5 inch full colour driver information (TFT) display represents a revolution in the clarity and accessibility of driver information, communication and entertainment. Other essential information or commands can be accessed easily and safely through the multi-function steering wheel controls and the optional, intuitive Voice Control system.
