FL2 / Evoque suspension differences

[catch-22]

I'm told by a few that the ride in an Evoque is more comfortable than the FL2, however, am also told the suspension is the same.

What's the real story??

[Scouse]

While the suspension may share the same design, I'm sure it won't be identical in terms of springing/damping.
The FL2 is under the Land Rover badge whereas the Evoque is under the Range Rover badge. I would say that would automatically make it a 'softer' ride.


You should have come to the Expo & then you could have compared them both on the LR track :).

there must be something different in the setup or at least springs or shocks as land rover state on the website Evoque "215 mm" vs Freelander 2 "210 mm"

whatever the difference is I want it.

[Slunnie]

They were notably different when compared on the ramp and articulation blocks. The Evoque hooked up on one of the blocks - a clearance issue.

Doesn't the évoque have the tricky magnetic shock fluid stuff so it can instantly adapt shock repsonse ?

Ps I don't think I would want our freelander 2 any softer

Not a standard feature, it's a $$ option.

I've driven both off-road, and the FL2 fares better with a bit more ground clearance and larger profile tyres.

On the road, Evoque handles a bit better, esp if you chuck it in a corner at speed.
