For
the first time I was sitting in a Land Rover. I had the honor to test the
Evoque during one week and I enjoyed it to the fullest. After this experience,
I can truly admit to the fact that the cars they’re producing are simply
brilliant. In fact brilliant in each dimension: technique, workmanship,
performance, and price/performance ratio. As soon as you’re opening the car
door, you can see and feel the passion they put in every detail.
What
does The Evoque stand for? The Evoque is sort of a narrowed SUV, kind of the
little brother of the Range Rover. Honestly, the Evoque convinces in every
detail and I’d say he gets rid of this ‘little brother’ image in a formidable
way.
It
is a simply fantastic car. Certainly it is a bit smaller and the engine is not
as powerful as the Range Rover Sport for example. But with its charm, wonderful
interior design and the plenty options it comes up with, it is a really good
car by with you can enjoy your rides entirely.

Its
front is vast, and with its headlights it looks like a huge mad cat in the
dark.
Under
the bonnet, there’s a hidden a 2 Liter Turbo Diesel, which is producing
assertive power for every situation. With 420NM & 190HP it is the most
powerful model, which is currently available on the market.
The engineers have sharpened up the steering and upgraded the suspension. The
nine-speed automatic gearbox is working really well. Another really magnificent
fact is that it’s only consuming 7,2 Liters per 100km, even if you like to
drive a bit racy.
The
rear is definitely smaller than the Range Rover, and the trunk doesn’t allow
that much space. Still this is the ideal car if you like high standards and
living in a city like Zürich.
Let's
talk about the interior and the infinite options of this car. Honestly, I’ve
never had that many options before. The Evoque contains features like seat
cooling, it shows you exactly how fast you're allowed to drive, and there’s a
seat heater in the back. Additionally, the GPS is outstanding and works very
exact. You can enter the Evoque, and start the engine easily. Compared to older
Land Rovers, the handling is simple and effective.
The
following pictures are impressively showing the love for the detail they
definitely have. It combines dark chocolate brown leather with the white double
seam, which looks and feels really high-class!
Last
but not least, there’s another thing that was really fabulous. The panoramic
roof brings all the light of this beautiful world into this wonderful car. And
that feels just divine.
All
in all, I’m convinced of the car and its performance. I’d suggest it to every
one of you, if you count on high standards and the design it shows. Honestly,
it was a big challenge to give this lovely car back to the seller. I’m already
looking forward to the next adventure.
