Autocar drives the MY2014 Si4 Dynamic

Autocar seems to like the MY2014 Si4 Dynamic!
Pictures are showing the Prestige though...

Thank you, a useful update to what I think (I would, wouldn't I?) is an underrated variant of the Evoque.

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

Pictures are library pictures from LR, they appeared early in the year when 2014MY was announced, they aren't Autocar's own photos hence it being a Prestige, they are the same photos the Sunday Times Driving section used 4 months ago. Nice write up though

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

I didn't realise that they were modifying the 4WD system, or that Autocar had reservations about the previous system. That doesn't fill me with confidence with the worst of winter coming (and snow today).

At least the 9-speed gearbox has improved the mpg.

The old (if you can call it that) 4WD system works a treat.

Don't worry be happy.

But it could show the Audi a trick or two with its balance and the way it communicates with the driver.

Gaydon’s baby Range Rover will remain one of the best handling 4x4s available at any price.


But its responsiveness and basic ‘go-straight-where-you-point-it’ handling make it relaxing and easy-to-drive over long distances.

Who are they referring to by "some". The Evoque beat all of its peers re handling etc in tests
It is a 4x4 at the end of the day and I would suggest that anybody who wants more grip or handling finesse than their Evoque can give is probably in the wrong carWink
