Flattering 1st Taste report in AutoExpress - XFullFatTim - 09-04-2011 01:09pm
"It's sportier than you ever imagined"
"Easily the best handling Range Rover............... ever"
"Will leave it's bigger brothers trailling in its wake through tight bends"
"Our example was a 2.0ltr turbo petrol. The silky smooth unit gives lively performance and produces a fantastic growlas the revs rise. However, we also tried the quiet and refined 188bhp 2.2 diesel with the 6 speed auto fitted, this is only marginally slower and returns significantly better fuel economy at 44.1mpg"
"Inside, the Evoque is superbly packaged. It offers only 50mm less legroom than a Range Rover Sport."
"flattened the rear seats and you have as much room in the boot as a Golf estate"
And to cap it all they say "What's truly impressive is the refinement and luxury squeezed into such a compact package"
It is a 3 page article - if anybody wants I'll scan it and email the article unless Vision*R can host another one..................
The car in the photos is a debadged Dynamic Coupe in Fuji White with Santorini contrast roof and roof rails looks very
AND there is a full offroad test of it in the next issue of Auto-Express.

Hey FFT,
Would love to see a copy. I will see if I can run OCS on the Text, that should reduce the size and may allow it to be posted.
Cheers

Thanks Tim and Pete. Don't mind the 5-spoke 19" wheels.

Yes they are nice - might get a set for use with my 19" Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow Winter tyres and my Goodyear 19" MTR's as my RRS wheels will not fit onto an Evoque hubs apparrently. Look easy to clean too and being 19" the ride will be nicer than on 20's and less liable to scuffing offroad and kerbing

At the end off the Offroad articel it has a marker that says P36: Range_e driven. Verdict etc. What does it say further?
