AS REFINED AS A SAVILE ROW SUIT, AS TOUGH AS A YORKSHIRE FARMER
Right, listen up. You're in the market for an SUV. But not just any SUV. You want something that doesn't just blend into the commuter car park like an identikit German box. You want something that says, I appreciate the finer things in life, but also, I might tow a horse box at the weekend, so get out of my way.
Enter the 2022 Range Rover Evoque P250 R-Dynamic SE, finished in Nolita Grey Metallic, which sounds posh â?? and it is. A subtle, distinguished shade that makes you look effortlessly cool, like Daniel Craig in a Tom Ford suit. None of that look-at-me orange nonsense. And inside? Ebony grained leather, because nothing else will do.
But let's not stop there. This isn't your bog-standard Evoque. Oh no. This one's got the sliding panoramic sunroof, which means you get all the daylight without the inconvenience of having to socialise with people outside. Or, if you're like me and don't like getting sunburnt, you can close the blind and pretend the world doesn't exist.
Then there's the electrically deployable tow bar, for when you need to lug something heavyâ??be it a trailer, a caravan, or just your mate's hopelessly unreliable classic car. And because Land Rover actually thought this through, you get a reduced section spare wheel, because, let's be honest, space is precious, and no one wants to be jacking up their car on a muddy road in the pouring rain.
Under the bonnet? A 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 249 horsepower. That's enough grunt to get you from 0-60 in 7.5 seconds, which in an SUV this refined feels like you're defying the laws of physics. And because it's a Range Rover, it doesn't just do motorways; it'll go through rivers, up mountains, and over terrain that would make a goat weep.
So, if you're looking for an SUV that's as sophisticated as it is capable, this is it. Get in, start it up, and prepare to look seriously smug.
Now, where do I sign?
