The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque: A Family Car?

It used to be that when you heard the phrase, “family car,” you’d instantly picture a minivan or a station waggon. Most of us automatically assume all other cars are made for couples without kids. Those cars are made for those who don’t have to fit two car seats, a heaping diaper bag, and the family dog into the back seat, right?

Not anymore. Land Rover has changed the way we look at family cars. You’re no longer subjected to the status quo. You can have style, comfort, dependability, and still have plenty of space to stretch out your legs.

This is especially true when it comes to the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. This 2013 model is a crossover that has the power and punch any parent needs to get to that Football match on time, without sacrificing those features that make every mum happy.

The Beauty Behind the New Land Rover

• The Look- The Evoque is sometimes referred to as the run of the litter, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have the features coveted by every Land Rover owner. It’s sleek, but smaller stature is actually something that may be attractive to new mums and those who aren’t used to driving a large SUV.

• Under the Bonnet- Whether mum is taking the children to school or dad’s taken charge of the wheel for a family road trip, this vehicle is sure to please. It has a six speed automatic transmission, 2.0 litre four cylinder engine that has been turbocharged, and is running with 240 horsepower. That’s plenty of get up and go.

• The Interior- The interior of the Land Rover isn’t going to disappoint either. It features five comfortable seats that can easily fit two car seats. It’s also decked out with some brilliant standard features like a power lift gate and dual zone climate control (yes, that’s automatic.) Want more? Optional packages are available, and you can get anything from keyless entry to a heated steering wheel. A favourite optional feature for parents, has to be the rubber cargo mat and floor mats. If you’re a mum or a dad, you’ll understand exactly why those simple additions are so exciting.

• The Cargo Area- The cargo area is rather narrow at 0.03 metres, but plenty big enough for most families, including those carrying around one or two prams.

• Safety Features- One of the biggest advantages of the Evoque are its safety features. It has seven air bags, surround camera system with five cameras, and even a backup camera. It has two sets of isofix as well to help secure those car seats in place. In addition, it also comes with some brilliant car parts that take safety and security to the next level. One example is the brake wear sensor. Never will you have to wonder again whether that squeak is actually a reminder that you need to purchase a brake pad set. These Land Rover parts will keep track of the wear and tear on your brakes for you and alert you when a brake change is needed.
