Just a compilation of Video & picture from my travels in the Evoque in the snow this winter added 21/01/2013











Decided tonight to try to get the Evoque up to the moor top car park The road conditions were worse than I expected, the road was basically packed ice & snow -4 deg C.

The incline brought the car to a halt with all 4 wheels spinning, but .....

Pne thing the video proved to me is how valuable adaptive headlights are as it doesn't look like you have them. I am really impressed at the visibility you get with them. Glad I bought them

Yes, I was thinking the same thing, adaptive headlights are great.

RE: Evoque attacking an incline in Snow on summer tyres

This is an interesting link because normally from where I am we cannot access Youtube, it is blocked......... but I managed to get some downloaded before I called it a day as we have only 33mb daily allowance each!
One point to remember - while 4WD is very useful in ice and snow, you still need to have at least one wheel with grip to keep moving, it there isn't grip
on any trye then no amount of clever electronics or sophisticated conventional 4WD system will keep you going. Add possibly a bit worn summer rubber with several 1000 miles on them then I wouldn't expect to keep drive. Once grip is gone for all the wheels you will get stuck!

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 think they are standard halogens and not Xenons,perhaps that's why they don't look as bright

Interesting! Great music track too, what is that? I'm picking up my Evoque next week and am on the hunt for some appropriate 'pick up music'!
