"
Engaging driving dynamics and sporty
Achieving the desired dynamic character in the Evoque requires a change in the DNA of the Range Rover. Dynamics driving the Range Rover Sport, which has a similar DNA to that of a luxury sports sedan, the Range Rover specialists established to provide a more agile driving dynamics and connected.
In particular, the aim was to increase steering precision and agility at low speeds, so that the car was more responsive and fun to drive one of the typical urban driving conditions.
Evoke is a lighter weight, more compact footprint and low center of gravity contributed to a more flexible was critical technical changes are needed to provide the necessary answers.
Range Rover engineers initially focused on optimizing the stiffness of the chassis and body type, followed by careful tuning of the suspension components and the electric power steering (EPAS) system.
From the fully independent suspension - Long travel coil sprung struts front and rear - the rear suspension geometry has been adopted revised to raise the roll center back.
The variable ratio speed-sensitive EPAS system was tuned to direct some straight, and accuracy, the linear nature. Improve the precision and feedback, the control rack is solidly mounted front subframe.
Despite these changes delivered greater agility, handling causes reactions that are flattering and predictable, without any nervous reaction.
Make Evoque balance and stability maintained, which is characterized by long-distance range rover suspension, the engineers developed the car, while maintaining a comfortable ride and connected to the Range Rover Sport, an excellent control of body movements, and roll down.
This fine-tuning of the suspension bushings and spring rates and damping have provided more sporty nature suggests, has not compromised comfort and refinement.
Adaptive dynamics
Range Rover Evoque customers have the ability to specify a state of the art new Adaptive Dynamics feature which uses advanced magnetic ride dampers ™ continuously variable.
With magnetic ride shock absorbers ™ - which is generally mounted on the high-performance sports cars - the Adaptive Dynamics system provides an optimum balance between confident handling and flexibility of controlled rolling.
MagneRide ™ dampers offer continuously variable damper settings between soft (comfort) and hard (sports) extremes, and operate using a special damping fluid that contains magnetic particles. When they have a magnetic field, the liquid becomes viscous, thus increasing the damping.
Compared with a conventional damper valves based on continuous variable, MagneRide ™ can change the damping parameters much faster and has a wider operation, offering a more dynamic stable and secure.
Dynamic adaptation of system monitors vehicle movements at least 1000 times / second, which responds to commands from the driver or the road almost immediately to give more control and minimize body roll, providing a balance, run flat. The system can even detect off-road conditions, and optimize damping accordingly.
Drivers can also choose a dynamic mode with the Terrain Response system, which changes the registry settings to provide an even tighter control of the body, with flatter handling and sharper responses.
All-Weather, All-characteristic surface
As a Range Rover Evoque offers real all-weather, all the surface feature that is characteristic of the brand. Common in big brothers, the new model offers tremendous potential for off-road, which highlight the company signing Terrain Response system.

Revolutionary design
The new Range Rover Evoque has turned into reality the concept of LRX, marking a bold development of Range Rover design, and offers customers a compact, premium and highly desirable SUV.
A revolutionary and original cross-coupé, capturing Evoke - almost to the millimeter - the magnificent design of the LRX concept. With its advanced lines and a sporty and dynamic profile, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque creates a new segment of premium off-road coupe.
The classic signs of Range Rover design with a bold new interpretation
The exterior features interesting Evoque bold new interpretations of classic clues Range Rover design, including the clamshell hood signature, the floating roof and the solid 'wheel-at-each-corner stance.
Unlike the previous range Rover Evoque is a fairly dramatic increase in the dynamic beltline, muscular shoulder running the length of the car, and a distinctive taper to the floating roofline. A bold graphic design created by the exaggerated wedge window, highlight the line with black columns.
Pushing the wheels of the four corners helps give the car its fixed location, the wheel arches are wide but softly integrated into the body. The carefully sculpted corners dramatically reduce the car's visual overhangs front and rear.
The front design makes a powerful statement on the Range Rover graphic identity created by the bold horizontal grille perforated with two coasts and lighthouses.
The stylish body exudes a strong sense of high quality of its precise, tight shut lines, surprising details, such as air intake hood and side vents, and the gem-quality, thin front and rear lights LED lighting for their signature and tapering blade indicator clusters.
"The performance of the design will result in a strong emotional reaction. His unique style will attract a new generation of Range Rover customers who have never considered an SUV before, such as premium coupe buyers who want to create a bold new statement, "said McGovern.
Modern and premium sports interior
The interior architecture Evoke is strong, clean and quality of the materials of a traditional Range Rover, and applies them in a more contemporary and sporty.
As in most of the Range Rover, the centerpiece of the cabin is the intersection between the elements in bold horizontal solid and dash vertical lines powerful central console.
The designers were also inspired by the elegant forms of the LRX concept interior, capturing the dramatic slope of the center console and the clean lines and elegant instrument panel. The design retains the concept of storage space under the console substantial slope, open structure that reflects the themes of lightness and efficiency found nowhere else in the car.
The exquisite quality and workmanship of the materials is evidenced by the very modern, clean treatment of interior surfaces, including fabric treatment of ventilation holes and horizontal roller shutter in the center console.
Housed in a compact inner curve, the dashboard enhances the sport, premium feel of the interior. The brand has a twin expressive three-dimensional shape of grains illuminated thick needles, and stored in the circular dwellings sports shiny chrome rims.
An optional fixed glass panoramic roof enhances the feeling of space and freedom in the surprisingly spacious interior, flooding in natural light.
Gerry McGovern said: "The luxury, contemporary style to the cabin is the perfect off concept car with the best materials and craftsmanship and sleek and elegant, you say that it is a true range Rover interior, but with more. sporting flavor. "
Range Rover, the craftsmanship, materials and Range Rover
The Range Rover Evoque offer levels of quality and craftsmanship in every detail of the car. Particular attention is given to selecting only the best, top quality materials and the use of these materials with taste and care.
Perhaps the most obvious example of this is wrapped in a luxurious finish of the upper instrument panel. The high quality leather using models of Windsor - beautifully soft high quality hides that have been selected for their exceptional touch and appearance - perfectly hand finished with double stitching in August
The fascia mid-section is also wrapped in leather, which, with sumptuous leather upholstery on the door panels and seats, creates the atmosphere of ultimate luxury. A total of 10m2 of leather - equivalent to more than three full cache - is needed to complete each vehicle. Every aspect of sewing, even to the size and shape of the needle, is also specified by the Range Rover experts, to ensure a perfect finish every time.
Even in models in which the skin is not specified, the instrument panel is still wrapped in high-quality, structured with soft double needle stitching, and a wealth of experience in interior design.
In contrast to the bold leather and sumptuous soft-touch surfaces, said a strong visual authentic metal finish on the horizontal band of the fascia, they surround the fan control, and the striking curved elements on each side of center console . Cold to the touch and beautifully crafted, metal finish is a visual and tactile reminder of the quality of indoor quality.
Meticulous attention to detail in all facets of the construction of the Range Rover Evoque also be illustrated with the thousands of hours beyond the impasse over how all visible parts fit together, ensuring superior quality and consistency goal.
Passing LRX concept to reality
2011 Land Rover Evoque is completely faithful to the LRX concept, beautiful style, capturing the design of nearly a millimeter.
During the development process was to preserve the integrity of the LRX concept highest priority and led to the adoption of new technologies and technical intelligent solutions to maintain the aspect concept car.
The package provides the vehicle with a unique combination of success and cutting style capable off-road geometry and ground clearance. The interior offers excellent accommodation for passengers and luggage, while retaining the essential elements of the position of the Classic Range Rover control driving.
Gerry McGovern said. "The Range Rover Evoque really gives you the best of both worlds - concept car looks combined with comfort and convenience of its large cabin falsely deep, up to the trunk is a car that perfectly suits our lifestyles busy and active customers. "
Sitting slightly lower than the larger Range Rover, the driver accepts the position of the controls for racing, which offers a more sporty feel, while maintaining the important sense of control and command. The result is a more generous headroom than traditionally in many sports sedans, although the low coupe roofline.
Drivers who take their Range Rover off-road Evoke was relieved to know that, in addition to generous ground clearance, the car much better angle of the ramp, the angle of approach and departure angle of other high-end SUV .
PREMIUM DRIVING EXPERIENCE
The new Range Rover Evoque has been designed and developed to provide drivers with a finely judged balance of sporty driving dynamics, performance and sophisticated refinement reactive.
This polished driving experience is true to the values of the Range Rover brand, but adds a more dynamic and sporty, which is consistent with the promise of exciting concept car Evoque in bold.
David Mitchell, chief engineer of the program, explains: "Market research shows that the younger target audience for this car would prefer a more sporty driving character, which has encouraged us to offer a dynamic driving sensation more fun and trendy without losing balance and. refinement, which is an important feature of the Range Rover brand. "
Engaging driving dynamics and sporty
Achieving the desired dynamic character in the Evoque requires a change in the DNA of the Range Rover. Dynamics driving the Range Rover Sport, which has a similar DNA to that of a luxury sports sedan, the Range Rover specialists established to provide a more agile driving dynamics and connected.
In particular, the aim was to increase steering precision and agility at low speeds, so that the car was more responsive and fun to drive one of the typical urban driving conditions.
Evoke is a lighter weight, more compact footprint and low center of gravity contributed to a more flexible was critical technical changes are needed to provide the necessary answers.
Range Rover engineers initially focused on optimizing the stiffness of the chassis and body type, followed by careful tuning of the suspension components and the electric power steering (EPAS) system.
From the fully independent suspension - Long travel coil sprung struts front and rear - the rear suspension geometry has been adopted revised to raise the roll center back.
The variable ratio speed-sensitive EPAS system was tuned to direct some straight, and accuracy, the linear nature. Improve the precision and feedback, the control rack is solidly mounted front subframe.
Despite these changes delivered greater agility, handling causes reactions that are flattering and predictable, without any nervous reaction.
Make Evoque balance and stability maintained, which is characterized by long-distance range rover suspension, the engineers developed the car, while maintaining a comfortable ride and connected to the Range Rover Sport, an excellent control of body movements, and roll down.
This fine-tuning of the suspension bushings and spring rates and damping have provided more sporty nature suggests, has not compromised comfort and refinement.
Adaptive dynamics
Range Rover Evoque customers have the ability to specify a state of the art new Adaptive Dynamics feature which uses advanced magnetic ride dampers ™ continuously variable.
With magnetic ride shock absorbers ™ - which is generally mounted on the high-performance sports cars - the Adaptive Dynamics system provides an optimum balance between confident handling and flexibility of controlled rolling.
MagneRide ™ dampers offer continuously variable damper settings between soft (comfort) and hard (sports) extremes, and operate using a special damping fluid that contains magnetic particles. When they have a magnetic field, the liquid becomes viscous, thus increasing the damping.
Compared with a conventional damper valves based on continuous variable, MagneRide ™ can change the damping parameters much faster and has a wider operation, offering a more dynamic stable and secure.
Dynamic adaptation of system monitors vehicle movements at least 1000 times / second, which responds to commands from the driver or the road almost immediately to give more control and minimize body roll, providing a balance, run flat. The system can even detect off-road conditions, and optimize damping accordingly.
Drivers can also choose a dynamic mode with the Terrain Response system, which changes the registry settings to provide an even tighter control of the body, with flatter handling and sharper responses.
All-Weather, All-characteristic surface
As a Range Rover Evoque offers real all-weather, all the surface feature that is characteristic of the brand. Common in big brothers, the new model offers tremendous potential for off-road, which highlight the company signing Terrain Response system.
The four-wheel drive system is an innovative full-time intelligent system which continuously varies the torque distribution front / rear using an electronically controlled Haldex center clutch to provide maximum grip and balance for the conditions driving current.
The Haldex coupling is specially calibrated to fit Evoque is agile and responsive dynamic character, and ensure that it provides a fun to drive at full speed.
For customers that do not require the legendary Range Rover off-road capabilities, a model of two-wheel drive is available that provides an even better fuel consumption. The system of two-wheel drive has been carefully optimized to provide the same agile handling and driving fun than driving all four wheels.
