(MAHWAH, N.J.) - November 4, 2013 - The Range Rover Evoque, enters the 2014 model year with advanced new driveline technologies, new driver assistance features and detail design enhancements throughout.

For 2014, the 2-liter 240hp Turbocharged Direct Injected engine is teamed with a new ZF-9HP 9-speed automatic transmission, among the first fitted to a passenger vehicle. With a wider spread of ratios than the 6-speed automatic it replaces, the new 9-speed enhances both performance and efficiency.

A new Active Driveline system with active differentials and torque vectoring also debuts on the 2014 Range Rover Evoque as standard in all models². The new 4WD system reduces driveline drag by decoupling 4WD during steady-state driving at speeds above 22 mph, and then automatically activating 4WD drive within 300 milliseconds whenever it is needed. Active Torque Biasing uses an electronically controlled differential to distribute torque between the rear wheels, optimizing traction and stability. In addition, a Torque Vectoring feature further enhances agility and safety by redirecting torque among all four wheels to counteract understeer. 

New driver-assist features available for the Range Rover Evoque include: Park Exit (to automatically exit parallel parking bays), Adaptive Cruise Control (with Queue Assist, Forward Alert and Intelligent Emergency Braking), and Closing

Vehicle Sensing².

The 2014 Range Rover Evoque also features exterior detail changes, new color options for the interior and new alloy wheel styles.

I. DESIGN

Exterior Design

The Range Rover Evoque exterior features interpretations of classic Range Rover design cues, including the signature clamshell hood, the "floating" roof and the solid "wheels pushed to the corners" stance. The Range Rover Evoque features a dynamic profile with its rising beltline, a muscular shoulder running the length of the vehicle and a distinctive taper to the "floating" roofline. The sculpted corners reduce the car's visual overhangs front and rear. The Range Rover Evoque is available with xenon headlamps that use a signature Range Rover design created by innovative LED light-blade technology.

Interior Design

The Range Rover Evoque interior applies the strong, clean architecture and quality materials of a traditional Range Rover in a decidedly sporty design. The center console flows with the elegant lines of the instrument panel, and the design provides a useful storage area beneath the sloping console. The console itself is an open structure that echoes the model's themes of lightness and efficiency.

When the Range Rover Evoque ignition is started, the interior displays and ambient lighting come to life with a precisely choreographed start-up sequence. The solid aluminum rotary shifter completes the "greeting" as it rises silently from the console.

The Range Rover Evoque Pure five-door model features an aluminum alloy roof, while all other models come standard with a panoramic laminated glass roof.  The panoramic roof enhances the feeling of space in both the coupe and five-door, providing an uninterrupted view for all occupants. LED ambient lighting provides cabin illumination at night, with driver-selectable colors. When the optional Dynamic Mode is selected, a sporting red color fills the interior.

II. RANGE ROVER EVOQUE MODEL LINE AND FEATURES

Two Body Styles

The Range Rover Evoque is available as a coupe model and a five-door. Both are identical in overall length and width, while the five-door has a 1.18-inch higher rear roofline. The interior offers generous accommodations for passengers and luggage, while retaining the core elements of the classic Range Rover Command Driving Position. Generous headroom compares favorably to traditional sport sedans. Both body styles provide standard seating for five. Rear seat occupants in the five-door model also benefit from about  two inches of additional shoulder room over the coupe. The coupe exclusively offers an available four-seat package that uses individual rear seats.

Space and Versatility

The Range Rover Evoque offers a wide, deep cargo area. The 60/40 split folding rear seat adds versatility. With the rear seats folded, the five-door offers 51 cu.-ft. of cargo space, the coupe slightly less at 47.6 cu.-ft.

Three Stylish Design Themes

The Range Rover Evoque allows customers to specify a lavishly appointed cabin with soft, premium leather. So equipped, this luxurious finish covers nearly every surface of the instrument panel, doors and seats, and is accented by tailored twin-needle stitching. Range Rover experts specify every aspect of the stitching, down to the size and shape of the needle.

Customers have the choice of three stylish design themes, each with its own distinctive character: The cool and contemporary "Pure," the luxurious "Prestige" and the bold and sporting "Dynamic."

• Pure: Combines the distinctive exterior design with a stylish, clean interior in neutral colors to highlight the pure, simple forms of the cabin.

• Prestige: Bespoke Range Rover luxury, combining exclusive 19-inch wheels and sparkling metallic trim details with an interior that is almost entirely leather-wrapped. Premium leather, twin-needle stitching and genuine wood and metal finishes embellish luxurious two-tone contrast color schemes.

• Dynamic: A bold exterior with unique bumpers, sills, grille, tailpipes and 20-inch wheels for a more assertive, confident stance. Contrasting roof and spoiler colors are available. The premium sports interior offers a darker environment with splashes of bright contrast color, together with perforated leather seats and sports detailing.

III: FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGY

Range Rover Park Assist with Park Exit

The optional Range Rover Park Assist helps make parallel parking and exiting parking spaces easier². When driving past parking spaces, the driver selects Park Assist and then selects the side of the road by using the turn signal. The system will analyze the position and size of the space, and if it is deemed suitable (it only needs to be 1.2 times the length of the Range Rover Evoque), the wording "Space Found" appears on the display screen.

The system will request that the driver stop the car and follow the on-screen commands. Park Assist will handle all steering actions, while the driver manages transmission selection, the accelerator and brake pedal. The parking sensors send the necessary information to the driver in order to select a forward gear when required to achieve the ideal parking position. Park Assist will deactivate if the driver handles the steering wheel during a parking maneuver.

Park Exit, added to the system for 2014, is designed to guide the vehicle out from a parking space².

IV: ENGINEERING

More than 40 years of expertise in body and chassis systems, four wheel-drive drivelines and multi-terrain technologies have been applied to the Range Rover Evoque, to ensure that it delivers the refined performance and all-weather, multi-surface capability that are hallmarks of the brand.

240 Horsepower Turbocharged 2-liter Engine

The Range Rover Evoque is powered by a 240-horsepower turbocharged 2-liter 4-cylinder engine that offers smooth and flexible power delivery. All aluminum alloy construction, direct fuel injection and twin variable valve timing endow the Range Rover Evoque engine with excellent drivability and fuel efficiency, while twin balancer shafts ensure smoothness expected in a Range Rover. New for 2014, the engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, which has been optimized for efficiency. The Range Rover Evoque can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds⁵.

Technologies to Improve Efficiency

To maximize fuel efficiency, Range Rover engineers have reduced parasitic losses from every area of the Range Rover Evoque. Key areas of attention included:

• Chassis: Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS), lightweight alloy suspension components, and low rolling resistance tires

• Electrical: Regenerative charging system to capture electrical energy during deceleration
• Air Conditioning: clutchless compressor
• Body design: Reduced aerodynamic drag through smaller frontal area

• Engine: Light weight, with reduction of engine internal friction through special coatings
• 9-speed automatic transmission

Weight Savings

Range Rover engineers applied a range of advanced lightweight materials to make the Range Rover Evoque the lightest Range Rover model ever, with the five-door starting at 3,902 lbs*.

• Steel body structure with over 18% Boron steel and high strength steels in key load-bearing areas
• Polymer and composite front fenders and tailgate
• Aluminum hood and roof panels
• Magnesium cross car beam
• Aluminum front lower control arms and front/rear suspension knuckles

Body Structure

The strong, lightweight steel unitized body structure delivers exceptional stiffness and refinement together with optimum occupant protection. The steel structure is designed to protect occupants using a safety cell, which is complemented by a comprehensive system of airbags and restraints⁷. High-strength Boron steel has been used in key parts of the crash safety cell, including the A- and B-pillars and the sills, designed to resist deformation and intrusion during impacts.

Dynamic Handling and Effortless, Refined Performance

The lightweight, compact footprint and low center of gravity provide the foundation for agile handling in the Range Rover Evoque.

Engineers focused on optimizing the stiffness of the chassis systems and body structure, followed by meticulous tuning of the suspension components and electric power assisted steering (EPAS) system.  Particular objectives were to increase steering precision and agility at lower speeds, so that the vehicle is highly responsive in urban driving conditions. To enhance the precision and feedback, the steering rack is solidly mounted to the front subframe.

Adaptive Dynamics Featuring MagneRide™ (Optional)

With MagneRide™ continuously variable dampers - which are more typically fitted to high-performance sports cars - the available Adaptive Dynamics system is designed to provide an optimum balance between confident, nimble handling and a supple, well-controlled ride. MagneRide™ dampers offer infinitely variable settings between soft (comfort) and firm (sports) settings, and operate by using a special magneto-rheological damping fluid, which contains magnetic particles. When a computer-controlled magnetic field inside the damper is applied in response to road conditions, the fluid becomes more viscous, thus increasing the damping.

The Adaptive Dynamics² system monitors vehicle movements at least 1,000 times/second, reacting to driver or road inputs virtually instantaneously. The system will even sense off-road conditions and optimize damping accordingly. Drivers can also select a Dynamic Mode via the Terrain Response® system², which modifies the damper settings to deliver firmer control.

Powerful Braking System

The Range Rover Evoque features a powerful four-wheel disc braking system. Generous disc diameters provide a large thermal capacity, providing stopping performance that equals that of premium sports sedans. Like larger Range Rover models, the Range Rover Evoque is equipped with a convenient electronic parking brake, activated via a switch in the center console, which disengages automatically when the vehicle begins to accelerate.

The braking system is complemented by the latest generation of electronic driver assist systems², including:

• Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
• Electronic brake force distribution (EBD)
• Emergency brake lights (EBL)
• Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
• Corner Brake Control (CBC)

Active Driveline All-Wheel Drive and Terrain Response^®

The Range Rover Evoque comes standard with a new-for-2014 Active Driveline all-wheel drive system that offers greater versatility and fuel efficiency.

Standard in all Land Rover and Range Rover models, Terrain Response® is a fully integrated system that manages multiple vehicle parameters to provide ideal traction in all situations². The control unit takes into account a wide variety of inputs including individual wheel speeds, cornering yaw rates, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, vehicle speed, brake pressure, accelerator position and the settings of the Hill Descent Control (HDC®) and Terrain Response® systems².

The system manages:

1. Engine Management: Throttle and torque response curves
2. Transmission Control: when Terrain Response® special programs are engaged, different transmission shift mappings are applicable, depending on the mode chosen. The Transmission Control Module also manages torque converter lock-up, which has different requirements depending on the selected Terrain Response® mode²
3. Electronic Traction Control and Anti-lock Brakes: these slip and braking control systems are all adjusted and tuned by Terrain Response® to offer optimum grip, braking power and safety on the chosen terrain²
4. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC): is designed to stop torque to a wheel after loss of traction, but in some off-road situations torque feed is still desirable, even when traction is being lost. Terrain Response® automatically adjusts the DSC so that appropriate torque is maintained²
5. Active Driveline all-wheel drive system

Terrain Response® optimizes the vehicle set-up for virtually all on-road or off-road driving situations, with up to five different settings to suit specific terrain demands:

1. General driving - Four wheel drive active, and adapts to changing road conditions
2. Grass/gravel/snow - For low friction surfaces. Provides high traction control sensitivity to reduce slip, and programs the engine, transmission, and differentials to provide gradual torque delivery
3. Sand - One of the most power-hungry surfaces is soft sand. Sand Launch Control makes for an easier drive-away. Speed-dependent targets for the traction control system permit only very limited wheel slip, helping to prevent the wheels digging down into the sand
4. Mud and ruts - To preserve forward momentum, this setting allows more aggressive traction thresholds in muddy and rutted surfaces and uses preloading on differentials for increased traction
5. Dynamic (optional) - Tailors MagneRide^TM suspension (if equipped) and vehicle responses for dynamic on-road driving

Other features integrated into Terrain Response^®:²

• Hill Descent Control (HDC®) is designed to automatically restricts speed downhill, using the anti-lock brake system, and improves driver control on slippery descents. HDC is automatically engaged on appropriate Terrain Response® programs. Downhill speed rates vary according to which surface is selected
• Gradient Release Control is designed to inhibit the initial rate of acceleration when descending very steep inclines to increase control when braking is released at extreme angles. The system activates automatically whenever HDC is engaged, temporarily maintaining brake pressure after the driver releases the brake pedal. It then progressively eases braking pressure to control vehicle momentum and acceleration. Once the vehicle's target off-road speed is achieved, HDC operates to take the vehicle to the bottom of the slope in its customary composed manner
• Hill Start Assist is designed to automatically retain the driver-generated brake pressure when the driver's foot moves from brake to throttle without the vehicle rolling backwards²
• Gradient Acceleration Control is designed to slow the vehicle by pressurizing the brake system to a limit determined by the throttle position when the vehicle is descending the slope in the driver's intended direction of travel²
• Roll Stability Control (RSC)²
• Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)²
• Engine Drag Torque Control (EDC)²

Testing

The Range Rover Evoque was subjected to the same punishing test and development program as the brand's larger models. A fleet of development vehicles covered millions of miles in 20 countries in a year of grueling tests to ensure that the Range Rover Evoque achieves the same standards of ruggedness and multi-terrain versatility as every Range Rover vehicle.

Some of the most punishing tests included:

• 5,000 miles (8,000km) driven non-stop by a racing driver at full speed at the Nürburgring racetrack in Germany. This tested chassis, engine, driveline, and braking components to the limit
• Intensive month-long "king of the sand" durability cycle in the Middle East, tackling punishing dirt roads, off-road sand driving, and tough inclines in intense desert heat
• Rigorous off-road test cycle in the UK, encompassing thousands of miles through the deep mud and clay of the Land Rover test center at Eastnor Castle proving grounds, the MIRA® and Gaydon durability circuits, and the deep water and ruts of a military proving ground designed to challenge tanks and personnel carriers

V: Commitment to sustainability

The Range Rover Evoque conveys the brand's commitment to sustainability, while echoing its goal to offer vehicles that are both relevant and desirable in the market. As a smaller, lighter and more efficient Range Rover, the Range Rover Evoque addresses the growing consumer need for more environmentally friendly vehicles.

Recyclable and Renewable Materials

As part of the comprehensive effort to minimize the car's ecological impact, the Range Rover Evoque makes use of more sustainable materials. Each vehicle uses about 35 lbs (16kg) of recycled plastic material. Parts with recycled content include: headliner, center console, wheel arch liners, air cleaner, cooling fan and shroud, air ducting, side under trays, parcel shelf, engine cover and subwoofer box. The Range Rover Evoque is also built to optimize recyclability at the end of its life cycle.

Examples of recycled content:

• High quality Morzine trim fabric used on the headlining and pillars is entirely produced from recycled polyester sourced from recycled bottles and fibers.
• Recycled plastic is used in the console, headliner and upper pillar trim, engine cover, subwoofer box, wheel arch liners, ducting and undertrays of every Range Rover Evoque. The recycled plastic content is the equivalent of nearly 1,000 plastic bottles (16.9 oz size) per vehicle.
• Metal interior trim on the center console and dashboard are produced from 95-percent recycled aluminum.

High quality natural and renewable materials, such as leather, cotton, cardboard and rubber, are also used extensively, amounting to 46 lbs (21kg) of material in every Range Rover Evoque.  Key examples include the generous quantities of leather used on the seats, instrument panel and door casings, and natural materials used in the carpets and body insulation.
