2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque: 19/28 mpg (est.)
EPA
a body that contains almost 100 pounds of recycled and renewable materials that helps get the baby all-wheel-drive to 28 miles per gallon on the highway, it is the most advanced Range Rover ever.
Autoblog
Other markets will get the option of a 2.2-liter diesel that can be teamed with a manual transmission, auto start/stop technology, and front-wheel drive for max fuel economy.
Motor Trend
The Evoque comes to market with respectable fuel-economy forecasts—19 mpg city and 28 highway, per the EPA, at the good end of the pack.
Car and Driver
That strength comes largely from its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which delivers good power (240 horsepower, to be precise) while still achieving an estimated 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. Final EPA numbers haven't been confirmed, however.
But the smaller, turbocharged engine isn't the full story. Land Rover shaved weight from the Evoque to just 3,600 pounds--about a ton lighter than the larger Range Rovers. On top of that, each Evoque includes about 35 pounds of recycled plastics.
Conclusion
It's no Prius, but the 2013 Range Rover Evoque's downsized engine and weight-conscious design help it score well.
