The all-new 2012 Range Rover Evoque is arriving at dealerships in Denver at a good time as the brand looks to update its image. The 2.0-liter four- cylinder with 240 horsepower and 251 pound-feet of torque is a big departure from Land Rovers big thirsty V-8’s. It is mated to a six-speed automatic and also comes with the latest direct-injected turbocharged technology. The 2012 Evoque gets 18/28 miles per gallon city/highway.
The Evoque uses a Ford 2-liter EcoBoost turbocharged engine much like the optional engine in the new Explorer. Land Rover's Terrain Response system is a pushbutton in the Evoque and it loses the Rock and Sand modes in favor of Sports and Eco modes. The shifter is a rotary knob similar to the Jaguar.
The 2012 Evoque is designed more for on-road comfort than its big brother with legendary off-road prowess. But the average SUV owner will never take their vehicle off-road anyway and shouldn’t be an issue. The Evoque will still be able to handle any slick and wet conditions it will encounter.
Click here and we’ll take the 2012 Evoque out for a test drive and see how the four-cylinder turbo performs around Denver.
