The new Evoque is offered with the choice of 150,180 and 240hp versions of the Ingenium diesel engine, with the 150 getting a six-speed manual while the other two feature a nine-speed automatic. Or there’s the choice of 200, 250 and 300hp, 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol engines, all with automatic transmission.

Of more interest to fleets is each of the engines bar the 150hp diesel come ready-equipped with 48-volt mild hybrid tech. Additionally, joining the line-up next year will be a plug-in hybrid version powered by a 200hp 1.5-litre petrol unit.

The D150 manual is expected to be the most popular engine for fleet, with 44.9mpg fuel consumption (WLTP) and CO2 emissions of 143g/km (NEDC Correlated). This engine is also RDE2 emissions compliant, thus meaning the removal of the 4% surcharge on BiK.

We drove the four-wheel drive version of the fleet-friendly D150 in S-specification and found the Evoque is still fun to drive, with responsive steering, although the D150 only gives adequate performance.

Standard equipment includes LED headlamps, rear parking sensors, keyless go, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth and DAB radio. However, it’s the new-found proper Range Rover refinement that impresses most – the interior is whisper quiet, the automatic gearbox makes slick changes, and the only time you can hear the diesel engine is when accelerating hard.
