2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Review

    When I first saw the Range Rover Evoque, I was a little surprised that Land Rover, a brand that makes traditional British off-road vehicles with good levels of comfort and luxury, created a stylish city car that is offered as a three-door hatchback or a five-door hatchback. I just thought: "what were they thinking?" But over the three years the Evoque has been in production, the car has grown on me because of several reasons: it is actually really good off-road, it is very upscale, and has a surprisingly powerful engine. Even if it only produces 240 hp from its Ford-derived EcoBoost four-cylinder, it has good pickup and produces more than a Volkswagen GTI or a Citroen DS3 Racing.  0-60 takes 7.1 seconds, which is somewhat disappointing. But it has beautiful styling inside and out, from its new headlights to its almost button-less interior. Its infotainment screen is a little slow, but that is a common trait for most Land Rover/ Jaguar products. I do have one complaint: why does Land Rover advertise it as a coupe or four-dour? Just choose one.
