Forty metres below the streets of London, the first prototype of Land Rover’s new Range Rover Evoque Convertible was granted exclusive access to the 26-mile (41.8 km) network of Crossrail tunnels for a development test with a difference. Engineers were allowed the opportunity to drive the disguised Evoque Convertible with its roof lowered in complete privacy.

Coming In 2016: Range Rover Evoque Convertible

After officially confirming the new Range Rover Evoque Convertible at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, this first prototype demonstrates its capability in underground surroundings


Anyway, back to the plot. The Evoque was treated with much respect (in 'Dynamic' mode, no less): late braking, hard flicks, flooring the accelerator when traffic permits, taking corners like a hot-hatch. In other words, I drove it like I just stole it, went to rob a bank and am racing towards the Malaysian border – except I am (a) no where as buffed as Channing Tatum nor (b) as bad-ass as Stallone. Every single day for half a week, I drove that way. Journey to the office has not been this fun and fast (sorry Range Rover, the M235i still blew my mind moaarr).

With a new 9-speed auto transmission, the Evoque’s desirability factor just went up a notch


But when you think of opulence, you do not associate it with diesel as diesel is always seen as “a poor man’s fuel” in a country full of snobbish dieselphobes like ours. Which is why diesel powered cars are still not being widely embraced, and mostly limited only to taxis and commercial fleets.

A Touch Of Class | Range Rover Vogue TDV6

A diesel Range Rover was probably unheard of here, but it actually works well; with class.


Those set of big brakes on the X5 M50d sure works brilliantly; there were several instances while going way past the highway-legal speeds, where I was cut off by slower traffic on the fastest lane. Without fail, it managed to slow the car down every single time. Plus due to the stiffer suspension system, it does not nosedive rudely to make you look silly like a nervous amateur racer on his debut…

A Different Kind of Vitamin | BMW X5 M50d

While there is no denying this is no full-blown M X5, the tri-turbo’d SUV offers the best of both worlds


The Range Rover Sport comes with air-suspension, so that means off-road capability is not an issue at all. Raise it up and you can easily climb kerbs or sand mounts, leaving the rest of the world behind. Which also encourages you to be playful on gravel and grassland (#justsaying). We tried, so we know. And the thing is, the Germans do not give you the same amount of assurance to do such antics…

Home, Home On The Range | Range Rover Sport

IN Land Rover, Range Rover Sport, Sport, Wearnes Automotive, Jaguar Land Rover

A sporty Range Rover sounds like real fun...


First up: The looks. The Range Rover Sport is still as big and imposing, even though we noticed several “softer” features. The grille has been replaced with a less prominent two-bar design instead of the older three. The lights still maintain their shape, but the front lamps have been updated with a ring of LEDs that form the daytime running lights, while the lights in the rear get a subtle work-over.
