Not as standard, it's only standard on Dynamic. I do not know if it is an option on pure. Someone will be along soon who knows.

RE: Ride quality with 20" wheels
It is an option on Prestige and standard on Dynamic and not available on UK spec Pure
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.

Just checked the 2014 brochure. It's not available on pure or pure tech. It is a cost option on prestige, and standard on dynamic. Strange it's not a cost option on pure. Cannot see why not.

I will be able to comment when I fit my style 6's in a weeks time, expecting a firmer ride though.

RE: Ride quality with 20" wheels
i have 20" without magna ride and its great to drive,
obviously it's a hard drive but that's what i like,
if you like a very soft drive (french style!?) you'll better look for smaller rims
but the 20" looks awesome on the evoque.
It's a choice that only you can make.

RE: Ride quality with 20" wheels
I ran my last Evoque on 20's in the summer and 19's with Ice and snow tyres in the winter. Even with Magneride I noticed a difference in ride comfort but there was a much more noticeable reduction in tyre noise between running 20" Continentals and 19" Pirelli's with the Pirelli's being very much quieter
