2023 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque review

1. Turbocharged engine power

If you're looking for a smaller SUV that doesn't skimp on power, the 2023 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has you covered. Its standard engine is a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder at a respectable 246 hp, which delivers peppy acceleration and a little extra excitement behind the wheel.

2. Available hybrid powertrain

In addition to its standard 2.0L four-cylinder engine, the 2023 Range Rover Evoque is also available with a mild hybrid setup on its range-topping HST trim. This engine is still turbocharged (a 2.0L four-cylinder turbo) and delivers 296 hp—making it even more powerful than this luxury SUV's standard engine. Meanwhile, this hybrid powertrain helps you drive farther between fuel stops, offering an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 23 mpg combined with its nine-speed automatic transmission.

3. Generously appointed cabin

As a luxury model, the 2023 Range Rover Evoque is loaded with standard features that you won't find in most compact SUVs. Its base S trim, for example, comes loaded with rain-sensing windshield wipers, leather upholstery, a wireless device charging pad, a built-in navigation system, a 10-inch touchscreen display, and power-adjustable front seats with heating. Stepping up to the midrange SE trim yields additional upgrades that include larger 20-inch wheels, dual 10-inch touchscreen displays, and a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic warning. For even more indulgent features, check out the HST trim, which adds premium leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, a 12-speaker sound system, and 20-inch wheels. This model also sports an eye-catching black contrast roof with dark exterior trim accents.

4. Smooth and quiet ride

The 2023 Range Rover Evoque is designed with interior comfort in mind, featuring an insulated cabin that reduces road noise and standard 18-inch wheels (or 20-inch wheels on the SE and R-Dynamic, and HST trims) for a smooth ride. Meanwhile, a standard nine-speed automatic transmission delivers seamless and effortless shifting to enhance your driving experience.

5. Standard all-wheel drive

Every 2023 Range Rover Evoque is equipped with an all-wheel drive system for added traction and control in the driver's seat. Specifically, Land Rover's AWD system is designed with intelligent Terrain Response^® 2 and All Terrain Progress Control technology, which automatically adapts to changing road conditions.
