The Range Rover Evoque : Multi-terrain technologies
Like all Range Rover vehicles, the Range Rover Evoque makes use of a unique suite of technologies to improve performance and safety in challenging on- and off-road conditions.
The primary technology is Terrain Response®, which adapts the responses of the car’s engine, gearbox, center coupling and braking/stability systems to match the demands of the terrain, optimizing drivability and comfort as well as maximizing traction.
The Evoque has four Terrain Response settings, selected via a control on the center console: General Driving (on-road and easy off-road); Grass/Gravel/Snow (slippery conditions, on- and off-road); Mud and Ruts; and Sand. An additional Dynamic setting is available for cars specified with Adaptive Dynamics.
To optimize safety and control on steep gradients, the Range Rover Evoque also offers Hill Descent Control (HDC®) and Gradient Release Control (GRC). HDC® automatically restricts speed downhill using the anti-lock brakes. GRC is linked to HDC®, and progressively releases the brakes on very steep or more gradual slopes, for maximum control.
Below is a short video describing a few of these technologies.
