    Is Land Rover Working On A Evoque XL?

    Land Rover is looking at expanding the Evoque lineup with a longer Evoque. The model will sit between the Evoque and the Range Rover Sport.

    The vehicle will be based on a stretched version of Land Rover’s LR-MS architecture that underpins the current Evoque, with six inches being added between the axles and the rest going to the rear end. The vehicle will also use lightweight materials to meet stricter requirements for fuel economy.

    Design will be a copy of the Evoque with minor changes to give it a visual and functional character of its own.

    Power will come from a new range of four-cylinder gasoline and diesel powertrains JLR is developing. A hybrid will also be available.

    • So you're saying the source you linked to say EVs last longer than ICE, is wrong? 
    • That is all the problems with Nissan Leaf current generation and Tesla where you have no insulation or proper management of the battery pack. Those auto companies that have gone 800V have done their work that it is not the issue it is stated to be.
    • What's even more ridiculous is that you basically need a climate controlled garage to really keep your battery in proper condition. So if I bought an EV without a garage, it will degrade faster than having a garage. It's a shame people buy EVs and then drive to work and park their cars OUTSITE...🙄 "Hot climates also increase battery degradation, so keep your EV in the shade if possible, especially when charging it."
    • So you're telling me your Escalade is making around 220hp now?!? Or would you say it feels just about as strong as it did when you first bought it? I would bet a good amount that it's making around 90% of it's original power numbers.  And one great thing about ICE is that they aren't getting worse year over year for just sitting or hardly getting used. Your article states that a battery will degrade year over year regardless of it being used or not. 
    • 20yr old ICE is not making 90% of its hp/torque, those rings, transmission, gaskets, etc.  and the overall condition would have it much less than that. Most engines are having to be rebuilt by 250k miles. Yes there are exceptions of those that are well taken care of and last a million miles,l but even then, they are not producing 90% of their HP and Torque and gas mileage is not what it was new either. Modeling of batteries is much beter than 64% also, We will have to take a wait and see attitude as electric motors have kept their output far longer than ICE motors as they age.  I think it will come down to maintenance, garage kept versus sitting outside in the elements. Lots to be taken into account.
