Autocar eD4 & TD4 Review

Range Rover Evoque 2.2 eD4 review

Quite brief........ and I don't think they have got their facts right. I didn't think you could get AD with the TD4 engine.... could be wrong.

I agree, I don't think AD is available on the Pure at all and only the SD Prestige as an option. It's standard on the Dynamic for both SD and Si. You'd think that given the amount they've written about the car, they'd got these things straight...

RE: Autocar eD4 & TD4 Review

The cars these guys have been driving, at least by Autocar's admission, are from the press fleet and have all got strange specs that may or may not be available when the cars go on sale so it is possible that they had a Pure with adaptive dynamics. OR LR has been reading the forums and added it to the options list as a late revision...................

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.

You can get AD on whatever engine on the Dynamic or Prestige, just not on the Pure in Europe. And is not standard on the Dynamic.

Not true. In Belgium, Adaptive Dynamics is only available on SD4 and Si4 in Prestige and Dynamic.

When I got a "sneak peek" of the Evoque back in 2010 the LR technical bods at Gaydon said all versions of the car would come with AD as standard....... so I was quite surprised when the specs came out earlier in the year at how selective the choice was on what could and couldn't have AD.

It's possible it was made optional to put a lid on prices which might have been becoming higher than anticipated, especially for euro- billed content.
