Range Rover Evoque is KING of the extreme Urban Landscape (video)

Land Rover has been busy demonstrating the Range Rover Evoque can cope with anything the urban landscape presents, no matter how extreme.

It’s seven years since the Range Rover Evoque was first revealed as Land Rover entered a brave new world with their smallest Range Rover, and gave it a design which was pure concept in look.

The Evoque has been a big success for Land Rover, still selling more than 100,000 a year, despite only having one real refresh in its life in 2015 as buyers continue to lap up the budget Range Rover (well, ‘budget’ if you stick to the basic model).

There’s another update due for the Evoque in 2018, with a Velar makeover for the design and probably the Evoque’s first hybrid powertrain using a 1.5 litre Ingenium three-pot, a small electric motor and 48V electrics.

But even though the Evoque is seven years old – and due for a revision – Land Rover are still busy promoting its abilities, and the latest outing is to prove the Evoque can handle the worst urban landscapes in a way no other car can.

Land Rover decided to plant the mother of all speed bumps on Surrey Row in London, and wait and see how the traffic coped.

Joggers and cyclists made it over, a driver in an X3 took one look and turned away, and one brave driver discovered you need a rather better approach angle than his car offered.

Having seen the mayhem the giant speed bump caused, a Range Rover Evoque arrives, takes a sensible angled approach, cocks a wheel and crests the bump and down the other side with alacrity.

Born in the Wild, Adapted to the City, say Land Rover.
