2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Review

The S, SE and First Edition models come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 246 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. The R-Dynamic trim levels have that same engine paired to a 48-volt mild hybrid system that increases power output to 296 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are connected to a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

Standard exterior equipment on the base S trim level includes 18-inch wheels, automatic wipers, power-folding heated mirrors, keyless ignition, front and rear parking sensors, auto-dimming exterior mirrors, and a rearview camera with trailer hitch guidance. Inside, you'll find power-adjustable front seats, leather upholstery, a 40/20/40-split rear seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, dual-zone climate control, a 10-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a navigation system, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a six-speaker audio system with a USB port.

The S also comes standard with Land Rover's Terrain Response 2 suite of off-road technology, which adjusts how the vehicle behaves for preset settings such as Gravel, Snow, and Mud and Ruts; hill descent control; and All-Terrain Progress Control, which acts like a low-speed cruise control.

One step up is the SE. It adds 20-inch wheels, xenon headlights, LED daytime running lights, automatic high beams, a hands-free liftgate, keyless entry, memory settings for the front seats, a surround-view parking camera (which includes the forward-facing Ground View camera for what's under the front wheels), a self-parking function, and the Touch Pro Duo infotainment setup with two 10-inch touchscreens. 

The R-Dynamic versions of the S and SE get the same equipment as their base-model counterparts but come with the more powerful engine mentioned above plus sportier exterior styling.

The First Edition is the next step up. It has the less powerful engine but comes with a slew of additional features. These include foglights, a panoramic glass roof, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column, customizable ambient interior lighting, upgraded interior trim, a head-up display, adaptive cruise control, high-speed automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, a rearview-camera display mirror (for when you don't have a direct view out of the back), and a 10-speaker Meridian audio system with satellite and HD radio.

The R-Dynamic HSE gets similar equipment to the First Edition model (with the mild hybrid powertrain as well), but the interior is missing some of the unique cabin touches. It does have a keyless tailgate system and upgraded power-adjustable front seats.

Many of the extra features found on the upper trim levels can be added to the lower trims through a variety of option packages. Other notable options include an adaptive suspension, 21-inch wheels, ventilated front seats and extended leather upholstery.
