The 2014 Range Rover Evoque went undercover in Frankfurt, picking up
VIPs and taking them on a surprise urban off-roading adventure. And
much to our delight, hidden cameras were there to catch the whole
thing.
If this was a new marketing ploy for Land Rover, we think it worked.
Not only was it effective in showing off the contemporary style of the
Evoque, but it also showed the VIPs Land Rover s the all-terrain
performance first-hand.
The unconventional road route featured a series of obstacles that no
ordinary car or SUV could combat. Steep gradients, inclines left and
right, and loose surfaces were just some among many driving hazards.
The updated 2014 model year Evoque features more enhanced technology,
including a ZF-9HP automatic transmission (replacing the old six-speed
ZF unit) and an on-demand active driveline, designed to offer more
agility and better fuel economy.
The on-demand driveline operates in front-wheel drive mode during
steady state driving above 22 mph. The new system is also able to
activate four-wheel drive in milliseconds when necessary.
Torque vectoring braking is also a new feature in the 2014 model,
available on all versions of the Evoque. It works by redirecting
torque among the four wheels to counteract understeer.
The Evoque will also be equipped with Park Exit Control. This advanced
system allows the car to automatically exit a parallel parking spot
autonomously. Closing Vehicle Sensing and Reverse Traffic Detection is
also available in the 2014 model, warning drivers of oncoming
traffic.
The 2014 Evoque will also get a bit of a cosmetic makeover, with
original paint and wheel options added to the list of new features.
