CAR Review: Range Rover Evoque Coupe 2.2D 2011

rangeroverevoque_carzpageBefore we start, we can simply clear on one thing: what kind of car is the Evoque should be? Hot hatch, sedan, SUV? Well, it’s a bit of all three really. The five-door will tend to appeal to buyers looking for you in other small SUVs like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3. But Land Rover sees the three-door coupe or in JLR parlance as a rival for cars like the Audi TT.
It is certainly looks good enough to pull buyers in TT. Is the cabin look like it’s straight out of a concept car to come?

Not quite, but it’s still a great place to be. The coupe has a lower roofline than the five-door, but there’s not a big difference in the back room – although not always in the back is the work of a moment. Both have real room for four, in contrast to the TT, and Peugeot RCZ. The seating position should suit all shapes, and despite the letterbox rear window, visibility is really good. Apart from the huge blind spot through the ear of the elephant mirrors and door pillar created clunky – blame the EU legislation on the mirror mess.

Jaguar cars get the rotary gear selector that from the center console, behind which rises a few buttons, which are to optimize the Terrain Response off-road system, switching between match, asphalt, sand and mud settings to the surface. And cars with the optional Dynamic pack get a different icon, a twisty road graphics. Select this and the dials of bright white on a red switch. Our flagship Dynamic felt safe luxurious and well screwed together, but as with cars like the Jaguar XF, there are a few areas to spoil the illusion – the slight effect of the glove compartment and center console cubby, for example.

Land Rover LRX Concept to embed iPhone

A new and interesting concept was revealed a few days ago. We’re talking about the Land Rover LRX Concept which is different from the other concept cars, because it features iPhone integration. How cool is that, folks?  From what we’ve heard it seems that the concept vehicle will sport a couple of touchscreens, one of which is used to “control the LRX’s iPhone facility.” This car will also have an iPod docking station and a pair of removable speakers on the tailgate. Nevertheless, we should find out more about this concept when it hits the Detroit Auto Show floor in January 2008.
