Guys
I see from the web site that the Evoque will have:
"Unique technologies, such as Terrain Response®, Hill Descent Control, Gradient Release Control and Hill Start Assist ensure the vehicle can perform on any surface, and in all conditions"
Anyone know if it will have low range and/or adjustable air suspension?
I often use the latter on my D4 - rarely the low range I have to admit........

Defo no air suspension, it's too complex and bulky for a small car BUT the is rumoured to be adjustable suspension using magnetic ride. Same for the low range box - takes up too much weigh and space for a car this size - I remember when F2 came out there was huge speculation about the suspension and low range and then I recall Land Rover saying in the press that adding both to the spec would price it out of the market sector it was aimed at and with regard to the RRE it will add hugely to the weight thus incurring a higher CO2 penalty

Yep, pretty much what I'd assumed (that it would be similar to the FL2)
Shame but understandable
Thanks for the response

It's basically a FL2 chassis and engine so I think it's reasonable to assume no low ratio and no air suspension. It's annoying that there is still no real info out yet.
