At launch, Land Rover will offer the Evoque with a 296-horsepower mild hybrid system built around a 48-volt electrical system. It gathers the energy generated while the car decelerates, converts it to electricity, and stores it in a battery pack installed under the passenger compartment. The system channels this electricity back into the drivetrain when the Evoque takes off again. It provides an acceleration boost that’s noticeable in city driving while saving fuel. And, don’t worry if the engine turns off as you come to a stop; it’s supposed to do that. It’s another gasoline-saving feature tied into the mild hybrid system.
Technical details are still vague at best. British magazine Autocar learned the Evoque’s mild hybrid drivetrain is built around a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine, but nothing is official yet. Buyers not interested in electrification will be able to select a 246-hp four-cylinder engine equipped with a turbocharger. Both powertrains will shift through a nine-speed automatic transmission.
The Evoque is more off-road-focused than its city-friendly design suggests. It’s offered with Terrain Response 2 technology which, when left in automatic mode, detects the type of surface the car is driving on (e.g., sand, snow, or dirt) and configures the chassis accordingly. It’s also the first Land Rover model equipped with the clever ClearSight Ground View technology that allows the driver to virtually see through the front end. It shows a 180-degree view of the terrain ahead on the upper touchscreen. It’s got old-fashioned off-road chops, too; it has 8.3 inches of ground clearance and it can safely drive through nearly 24 inches of water.
Land Rover will announce additional details (such as pricing and full specifications) about the American-spec version of the 2020 Range Rover Evoque during the 2019 Chicago Auto Show. Built in England, the Evoque will begin arriving in showrooms in 2019.
