    New Evoque

    Hi All,

    This article might be of interest to some...

    https://www.carsales.com.au/editoria...evoque-115760/

    To quote part of the article:

    "Speaking of engines, Land Rover says that from launch 90 per cent of all Evoques sold will feature some level of electrification. This includes introducing a mild-hybrid (MHEV) version of the car-maker's turbocharged 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol and diesel powertrains.The 48-volt mild-hybrid system uses an 11kW engine belt integrated starter generator and an underfloor battery.
    The system boosts efficiency in numerous ways. The first is it allows the Evoque to coast at speeds below 17km/h, idling the engine to save fuel in situations like decelerating while approaching traffic lights. Capable of firing the engine back up in just 600 milliseconds, the function is claimed to be 20 per cent faster than traditional systems."

    I actually saw a 3 door Evoque a few weeks ago at Kincumber shopping centre.
    At first I didn't believe it.
    BUT I guess that there must be someone somewhere that didn't need to get anyone in the back ever.
    It will now become a collector's item in years to come .NOT

    The new model sounds like a genuine improvement and the hybrid packages have real potential, so LR should sell heaps of them, I think.
    The hybrid tech, being based on the Ingenuim 2.0 engines, should transfer easily to the Discovery and Defender ranges.

    I notice that JLR, when announcing 4500 redundancies, also announced large investments in electric drive units and battery manufacture, so that's good for the brand's future at a time when it's excellent mainstay diesel engines are being battered by the diesel emissions scandal caused by VW.
