Hi
There is no run in period as such for the evoque, or many other cars these days for that matter but I did look after the engine for the first 1500 miles or so. no labouring, acceleration above 2000

Arrived: SD4 Prestige Auto Coupe with Lux pack. Ipanema Sand with Black Panoramic Roof
Ambience Interior with Macassa wood.

Now a Jag XFR Kyanite Blue - wow what power.
At home and superb.

And no caravan towing either for at least the first year! Wink

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.

Go easy on the brakes for a few hundred miles too to let them bed in evenly.
