Range
Rover’s Evoque seems just like another pretty face—lacking depth of
soul, real ability, and true talent—as any cynic, particularly someone
who has loads of respect for the hallowed British brand, purveys
arguably the best 4X4 so far. But with more than 88,000 Evoques sold in
the vehicle’s first full year of production in 2011, it seems like the
Evoque has charmed not just me but many more throughout the world.
Thanks
to Indian Tata Group buying both Jaguar and Land Rover, the two British
firms have received considerable R&D budget to produce fine
automobiles which, instead of simply living on past glories while
tucking their coats further to hide old ugly scars, the Evoque is firmly
in the present and looking boldly into the future.
The
futuristic shape, particularly the coupe variant I got to drive, is a
silhouette any grown man will have their pulses running wild on, heat
growing underneath their collar, mouths getting wet, palms getting moist
and eyes getting dilated: lean, mean, tough but stylish, in an Angelina
Jolie’s “Lara Croft” character of Tomb Raider fame.
Despite relinquishing the typical Range Rover body-on-frame construction in favor of a more modern,Super bright LED Strip Light Wholesalers and

lights. lighter and more agile unibody construction, the Evoque still
comes loaded with practically everything its “big brother” have.
You’d
think that all these might make it complicated and inert to drive—with
all the technology packed inside, the Range Rover can probably drive by
itself to the moon and back. But behind the wheel, it feels
fantastically simple.

silhouette beams from the side mirrors to the floor, acting as
illumination at night. Inside, the most dominating, prominent feature of
the interior are the chunky 10-way electronically adjustable RECARO
Sportster CS seats clad in reach leather, with handsome stitching and
side airbags, and the panoramic glass roof which stretches for most of
the entire roof’s length. It gives you a clue to its active, ambitious
and sporting intentions. An equally chunky three-spoke steering wheel
adjusts for both reach and rake, equipped with buttons for the
multimedia system.
There’s
soft LED mood lighting inside, a 5-inch touch-screen LCD screen and
multimedia system which connects to your smart phone for Bluetooth
Telephony, wireless music streaming, and the ability to display five
camera angles—one on each corner of the car plus one up front. Overkill?
It seems that way until you realize how low you sit in the Evoque,
considering it’s still an SUV, and you have to knead your way through
traffic.
Despite having packed with tech toys, the Evoque proudly carries the Range Rover badge of honor and ability.Our High Quality LED Composite Material Bulb and
solar phone chargers are uniquely designed, high-quality and low-cost.
It has 215mm (8.5 inches) of ground clearance,The unique elegance of
modern floor lamps and High Quality LED Tubes Light could
certainly transform your home into a place of beauty. 25-degree
approach and 33-degree departure angles, a fording depth of 500mm,
useful for Metro Manila flash floods.
Sadly,
I never got a chance to try it off the beaten path. Though on a twisty
drive going up Tagaytay, the Evoque behaves more like a proper hot hatch
than a mini SUV. It storms up the Santa-Rosa Tagaytay Highway with
ease, although the transmission sometimes gets confused and refuses to
downshift cleanly. Even in manual mode,Most modern headlight designs
include Best Car Projector Lens. flapping through the paddles, the Evoque tends to get confused too, but after a few days, it seemed to gel much better.
On
the other hand the brakes are pretty good: no hint of fade, but a
slightly soft initial pedal pressure, followed by more consistent and
firm modulation. Meanwhile, the steering feels mildly inert until speeds
start piling up and feel improves significantly, you’re confident of
sawing madly behind the wheel, yet cool and composed cruising at highway
speeds.
Since
I had the Coupe, I decided to load up and see just how much the 3-door
can hold: 10 plastic stackable chairs, some office supplies for our
project groundbreaking in Tagaytay and about 30 balloons with just me
and the Missus. Even with 19-inch wheels and a suspension more set for
sport than comfort, the Evoque is super smooth; it means you arrive
looking fresh like a celebrity, regardless of where you are going.
