2024 Range Rover Evoque Dynamic SE
Written by Marco Carvajal
The new 2024 Range Rover Evoque is a compact luxury SUV with the style and performance typical of the luxurious British brand Range Rover but at a smaller scale and lower pricing.
The Evoque is cheaper than the typical Range Rover car and smaller, but drivers and passengers feel the elegant and sober details that Range Rover cars are famous for.
The Range Rover Evoque might be small, but it keeps its original blue blood, the avant-garde look, designed and built in the UK with very elegant design and character.
I am test-driving the new 2024 Range Rover Evoque Dynamic SE model with all-terrain ability with 246 horsepower, a Torque of 269 lb-ft @ 1300 rpm, and faster than ever with a maximum speed of 143 MPH, and acceleration of 0 to 60 MPH in 7 seconds.
The Evoque’s standard 2.0-liter turbo-four powertrain AWD is fast and smooth and it works safely with its fast brake performance system that acts and stops very fast when needed.
The 2.0 Turbo engine is matched with a 9-speed automatic and has a driving range of 389 miles, with an average fuel economy of 20 to 27 MPG in the City or Highway or 22 Miles per Gallon combined, which is normal for a Range Rover but is not the best fuel economy.
The Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and Torque Vectoring by braking, with customary Range Rover all-terrain capability supported by pioneering technologies including All-Terrain Progress Control and Terrain Response.
Driving features like Hill Launch Assist are designed to stop your vehicle from rolling back. Roll Stability Control and Dynamic Stability Control enhance capability in slippery conditions like wet grass, snow, and ice. More functions like Trailer Stability Assist help maintain composed progress while towing.
I like the Evoque’s distinctive sporty-elegant exterior design and its modern elegant interior style and comfort.
The new exterior style of the Range Rover Evoque is very original and elegant, it includes a new grill and very slim headlights.
New colors and exterior accents complete the characteristic floating roof of Range Rover, with an unbroken waistline and the flush deployable door handles typical of Range Rover’s design.
Elegant, Safe, and Modern Interior with Pivi Pro Infotainment
Premium features like Cabin Air Purification controlling CO2 levels and configurable internal cabin lighting, give you the high standard feel you expect of the British brand.
One of the elements I enjoy more while driving Range Rover and Land Rover models is how good you feel sitting on the inside. You feel premium and I can’t stop remembering images of the British Royalty or High Class driving the attractive and elegant Range Rover models.
After driving and getting used to Range Rover’s great dashboard is hard to go into driving other more basic vehicles where you depend mostly on Apple car play or Android Auto, without access to such an advanced and beautifully designed system like the one you can enjoy on the Range Rover Evoque.
In terms of technology, you can expect advanced and connected convenience that looks and works great. Its advanced technology stays up to date with innovations and it is very intuitive, easy to use, and easy to see while you drive. I enjoy the volume, climate, and seat control settings easy to access and always visible.
The wireless phone charging standard is a nice feature to continue the suite of luxury style you get onboard the Evoque Range Rover.
Pivi Pro infotainment
I like the high quality of the Pivi Pro infotainment system that incorporates all controls on a new floating 11.4” curved glass central Touchscreen.
Interactive Driver Display
While driving the Evoque You have a Pivi Pro infotainment with a modern 11.4” curved glass central Touchscreen next to a 12.3″ Interactive Driver Display that integrates with Pivi Pro, by displaying navigation instructions, media selection, vehicle settings, or journey data and prioritizes the information that’s relevant to you.
3D Surround Camera
For an amazing 360 view, enjoy your surroundings unobstructed view with an optional comprehensive suite of camera technologies, including ClearSight rear view mirror and 3D Surround Camera with ClearSight Ground View.
The system provides a 360° view of your surroundings for confident maneuvering and safety.
Meridian Surround Sound System
The high-quality optional Meridian Surround Sound System includes strategic careful placement of speakers and very high fidelity.
Driver Assistance technologies on board the new Evoque Range Rover help you enjoy the ride with confidence, knowing that your passengers and you have all the best available tools for the safest and most efficient driving.
Safety systems include Amazon Alexa, Advanced Technology, Seamless Connectivity, Keyless entry standard, and more.
From navigation to media choices, talking to Alexa can make your drive easier and completely hands-free as Alexa handles functions.
Range Rover and Land Rover Selected Vehicle Models
Range Rover and Land Rover usually offer a few selected models in their lineup. The marketing philosophy of the British brand is to produce a few selected amazing cars.
For 2024 in the US, the Range brand has only 4 main Range Rover models: Range Rover starting at $107,900, Range Rover Sport starting at $83,700, Range Rover Velar starting at $61,500, and the most economy model Range Rover Evoque starting at $49,900.
For car buyers who love the brand but want to stay within a purchase budget near fifty thousand dollars, the Evoque is good news. Also for the brand Range Rover, this is a potential model that due to its low pricing can eventually become a huge mass-selling success.
Land Rover the sister brand produces other low-pricing models like the Discovery Sport starting at $48,900 and the Defender 90 starting at $56,900.
Evoque Two Generations
The Evoque second generation is the most recent version and made its global debut in London in November 2018, featuring an all-new design language, advanced driver assistance technologies, a new hybrid-electric powertrain option, and innovative off-road technologies.
The luxury Evoque subcompact elegant crossover SUV first generation was produced from July 2011 until the release of the second generation back in 2018.
The Evoque has been available in three and five-door versions, with power of two-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive.
The second-generation Range Rover Evoque is the first vehicle to feature ClearSight Ground View technology, which is designed to allow the driver to virtually see through the hood and under the front end of the vehicle by projecting a 180-degree view of the vehicle. floor. on the vehicle’s upper touch screen.
2024 Evoque Pricing and Models
The new 2024 Range Rover Evoque has a starting price of $49,900 MSRP and it is available only in 2 trim levels so far: Range Rover Evoque S, and Range Rover Evoque Dynamic SE.
The top-of-the-line Evoque Dynamic SE has a starting MSRP price of $54,900.
- 2024 Range Rover Evoque S, MSRP $49,900
- 2024 Range Rover Evoque Dynamic SE, MSRP $54,900
The Dynamic SE model adds features such as a power liftgate, a 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, LED headlights, and blind-spot monitoring among other features upgrading from the Evoque S.
My experience driving the Evoque is that this is a great mini Range Rover. If you don’t need a large SUV but want to feel the premium and luxury brand of the famous British SUV, then the Evoque can be a great choice and very affordable around 50K.
Competitors like the Volvo XC 40, the BMW X1, the Lexus NX, or the Mercedes-Benz GLA-class have pros and cons when compared to the Range Rover Evoque. I think that one of the winning elements for the Evoque is its technology, dashboard, and original design which you only can find on Land Rover and Range Rover cars.
