Most Evoque owners are scared to even mount a curb. But Land Rover takes the go-anywhere capabilities of all its cars very seriously. Perhaps that's the reason why the camouflage of this 2019 Evoque prototype is beginning to come undone - too much off-road testing.
For the record, the current Evoque has an official wading depth of 500mm, as well as 23.2 degrees of approach angle with the off-road geometry. Those numbers will probably be at least matched by the 2019 generation, due to come out at the end of the year.
As you can see in these latest spyshots, the camouflage at both the front and the back of the car has been scraped off, most likely while going over shrubs or through compacted snow.
It's not like we're learning anything by looking at the exposed bodywork, other than the fact that they are trying. Most crossovers nowadays are more concerned with their Nurburgring times. It's not like the new Evoque will be slow, but you can buy a Jaguar built on the same platform is taking corners is your thing.
It might be hard to believe, but the Evoque has already been on sale for six years, having made its debut in 2012. Land Rover is planning to keep the sporty look while adding lessons it's learned from the Velar. Gone is the 3-door version, leaving only a practical 5-door body that will grow in length and width.
The platform in question is the LR-MR, shared with the Discovery Sport. But most of the powertrains will be new. This includes a twin-turbo 2.0-liter diesel with 240 HP and a gasoline unit making 300 HP.
We've even heard a rumor about a 1.5-liter turbo powering a plug-in hybrid. New regulations are coming into effect in China, a market where the Evoque is very popular.
Inside, we're likely to see the same screens used by the Velar. Previous spyshots have already revealed that the Evoque will have the same pop-out door handles as its bigger brother.
