RRE Sport

So, does anybody think an evoque sport is on the cards?

Personally I don't - with the evoque already having the optional sport seats and magnetic dampers in dynamic trim I don't really see what this model could bring? Save for a little bit more shove....

RE: RRE Sport

Evoque Sport not so sure. But I definitely see a more powerful version coming, in say, the next year or so.

Possibly a V6?

RE: RRE Sport

I was driving behind an older Freelander V6 yesterday so I guess its certainly a possibility they'll shoehorn something more potent in the Evoque engine bay

RE: RRE Sport

V6 Freelander?? There was a V6 Freelander1 (2.5ltr ex Rover 75 K series) but the 6 cylinder Freelander2 is a Volvo straight 6 IIRC

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.

RE: RRE Sport

I am hoping there will be a RRE Sport coming in the next couple of years.....

I was debating as to whether to trade mine in for a non pano roof version but I have decided to hold off and see if LR bring out any new 'versions' in the next couple of years. Stupidly from my point of view, it's not so much about having the extra power, more about having something a little 'different'...

When we went on our LR experience, the guy who drove with us did say that he had heard there was a 300bhp version on the way but I have no idea if this was based on fact or hearsay...

Fingers crossed.

RE: RRE Sport

I'm not too worried about any more power coming our way, but I have already got a deposit on the next generation RRS. If RRE gets some 3rd year upgrades I'll probably stay with the RRE, but have the option to go new RRS and make it my 3rd one. Love the RRE though as for me it is the ideal size, just needs to get a heap more economical rather than a whole load more powerful and it needs to gain some more techy bits like adaptive cruise and loose some of the useless gadgets like auto-parking. It would also be nice if RRE lost some girth as one reason for buying it was to be able to put it in my garage but the final dimensions make it too small a tolerance to get the car through the garage door - 5mm each side is a bit too small a clearance through the door uprights, there's half a meter clearance each side once it's through the door, I don't want to widen the door unfortunately due to the structure of the integral garage with the house

RE: RRE Sport

Tim, I'm relying on you to keep me informed with any 'breaking news' on new Evoque models, no pressure!! Laughing I have asked my salesman to keep me in the picture but seems to me, I get to hear about most Evoque developments on here first Laughing

RE: RRE Sport

I believe there was news about a Evoque R on the way. It'll supposedly come with the same V6 as in the Jag line. I won't be buying though since it's supposed to be rated around 306hp, which probably means a naturally aspirated V6. I'll take the turbocharged any day Very Happy
