The second-generation Range Rover Evoque first made its global debut in November 2018, and the SUV has now arrived in Malaysia as part of an official preview at the paultan.org Premium Auto Car Expo (PACE).
Built on Land Rover’s mixed-material Premium Transverse Architecture, the latest Evoque hasn’t grown much in size over the original, as it measures 4,371 mm long (unchanged from before), 1,904 mm wide (+4 mm) and 1,649 mm tall (+14 mm). However, there’s more cabin space with the new platform, as the wheelbase is now up by 21 mm to 2,681 mm.
Design-wise, distinctive cues from the first-gen like the sweptback roofline and rising shoulder line have been carried over, albeit with more pronounced haunches and wheel arches. Influences from the Velar are also evident in other areas, including the slim LED headlamps, sweeping directional indicators, flush door handles and taillight arrangement.
Moving inside, the Evoque’s upgraded cabin carries the Velar’s interior style, and features a simpler dash layout with slimmer air vents and uncluttered surfaces. The latter is made possible thanks to the dual-10-inch-screen Touch Pro Duo system, with the car’s infotainment and climate controls being accessed via touch panels instead.
The cargo area is also wider and 10% larger (591 litres) now, and it can accommodate a folded pram or set of golf clubs, with space increasing to 1,383 litres when the 40:20:40 rear seats are folded.
The variant being previewed by Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia is powered by the P200 AWD powertrain, which consists of an Ingenium 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 200 PS (197 hp) and 320 Nm torque, a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system (with Terrain Response 2).
For now, the company merely says that an official launch will take place sometime in the first quarter of next year, but did not disclose anything about pricing.

Wow even paultan team don’t have access to take full shots of the vehicle. I just don’t understand why our local Malaysian distributors for these brands like to do all this so called preview and teaser when the whole thing is already unveiled to public and have already graced the showroom floors in other parts of the world. There was one such case UMW Toyota was still teasing the CHR when I have already had a taste of the real thing in Australia.
Worse still they totally hv no confidence in our market. These gimmicks are used for testing our response and thus, specs and price are totally irrelevant during these previews.
Soon 2020 is here. Those cars without any advanced driving safety system are definitely outdated by then no matter how new the generation is. I hope Malaysians wake up to more consumerism senses than pure money sense.
I hope all those buying Range Rover make sure they got lots of money. Now got so many luxury cars kena tarik balik because owners eyes too big.
Most owners of luxury cars like to show off to Opah when they balik kampung that they have luxury cars and that they are doing very well in the bandar.
Then two months later, as is always the case, kena tarik balik or sambung bayar.
Tens of Range Rover are up for Sambung Bayar.
Ohsem preview Range Rover… paultan PACE even bigger then MAI motorshow & MAA KLIMS , best autosite last 15 years ! !
Ye another stupid comment. If they can afford to pay for it they can easily afford to maintain it.
If so, why got so many sambung bayar car ads?
there are indeed many people who spend most of their savings on an expensive car lel
Range Rover sambung bayar?? Where got?? If got I want one.. tell me @Lolyat
All overpriced in Malaysia. Furthermore, according to Warranty Direct, UK’s No 1 Warranty provider, the champion problematic and king of breakdowns is the Range Rover. So why pay so much of money for continuous breakdowns. Furthermore, parts in Malaysia is crazy…bumper alone for Range Rover is RM30,000…OMG OMG OMG
