February 21 2019, Whitley, UK – Land Rover has brought a series of well-known road signs to life as part of a unique urban capability test for the New #rangerover Evoque. The original compact #SUV not only showcased its all-terrain credentials in London’s financial district, but also demonstrated the smart technology that makes it a leader in its class.
Drivers and passers-by watched on as the Evoque traversed obstacles framed by four-metre high warning triangles, recreating the familiar road sign graphics used to warn drivers of ‘uneven road’ and ‘steep hill’. Both challenges showcased the indisputable all-terrain capability of Land Rover’s new vehicle architecture in an urban environment.
Pete Simkin, Chief Programme Engineer, said: “The New #rangerover Evoque is built for the city, but not at the expense of trademark all-terrain capability. Bringing these two worlds together in such an eye-catching and unique way was a great demonstration of the engineering and technical revolution behind our luxury compact #SUV.”
On the banks of the River Thames, the smallest #SUV in the #rangerover family negotiated a 40-degree ramp representing ‘steep hill’ to demonstrate how the new Evoque’s short overhangs, 25-degree approach angle and use of Land Rover’s renowned Hill Descent Control enable the Evoque to go above and beyond.
The introduction of second-generation Active Driveline combined with 212mm ground clearance provided optimum traction and assured on-road ability and refinement as the #rangerover Evoque drove across staggered speed humps, representing the ‘uneven road’ warning sign.
A real-world version of ‘wild animals’ then deftly demonstrated the segment-first ClearSight Rear View Mirror technology. With the flick of a switch, this #smarttech enables the driver to see past objects obscuring visibility of the road behind.
The #rangerover Evoque has been built on Land Rover’s new Premium Transverse Architecture to accommodate plug-in and mild hybrid systems; a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) powertrain will join the range later this year. Offered with a suite of advanced technologies from launch - including the world’s first ‘Ground View’ technology – the new Evoque is more capable than ever before providing driving refinement, precise body control and agile handling across any terrain.
The New #rangerover Evoque is available to order now, priced from £31,600 in the UK, and can be configured at www.landrover.com
