Hi Everyone,


This is my first post and I've placed a deposit with my local dealer for a 3-door 4-wheel drive Evoque.



I'm sure we're all looking forward to details regarding pricing and specification at the Geneva Motor Show in early March '11, but in the meantime I've come across this video review today:

Hi and welcome!


Great find thank you, Auto Express have also posted a review today: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/firstdrives/264550/range_rover_evoque.html

and now so have What car - things are hotting up.

Got a letter from my dealer yesterday - confirmed prices will be out next month and then first call for orders for September.

However they will not have a demonstrator until September either so will have to order blind.

Going for 4x4 Prestige with petrol engine what's your choice?
Cheers

I'm wanting a 3-door prestige 187bhp 2.2-litre diesel automatic 4wd, I think it'll be a good blend of perfomance and economy. I'm currently driving a BMW 320d M Sport Touring and regularly get 50mpg. Although it's tempting to get a petrol Evoque I'm put off by increased emissions (i.e. road tax!) and lower economy.
BTW this week's Autocar has an excellent article about the Evoque, much better than the online piece and more information and great photos

I currently drive a BMW E93 convertible with the 306bhp twin turbo petrol and generally get 28mpg.

Therefore anything will be an improvement!

However I will miss the 0-60 in 6 secs so 7.1 sounds a good compromise. Thought about the 187bhp diesel - be interested on torque v power cuves on both.

I'm in a BMW E90 320si and currently get 27mpg on a good run, down hill, with the wind behind me! Looking to improve on running costs this time around.


Now the Sun have an article up, same pics as Auto Express by the looks of it: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/motors/ken_gibson/3420263/All-Hale-Range-Rovers-Evoque.html
