Imodeli elungiselelwe isigaba se-T3, ene-350hp nangaphansi kuka-1000kg.
Ilungu le-"chic" kakhulu lomndeni wakwaLand Rover waseBrithani ubeke imikhuba emihle eceleni futhi wathumela idolobha ngemuva kwalo! Ngenxa yokulungiselela i-Excite Rallye Raid, umfana wedolobha waba umhlaseli wezigaba zemarathoni, okwazi ukubhekana nobunzima obukhulu kakhulu. Ngoba manje, ngesibindi esifanayo naleso abhekana ngaso nokuvakasha kwenhloko-dolobha enkulu yaseYurophu, ubhekene nogwadule ngesivinini esingavunyelwe.
Umsebenzi wawungelula, kodwa umphumela waba nemiphumela emihle. Ngaphansi kwebhonethi sekukhona injini kadizili engu-3.0litre bi-turbo enamandla angu-350hp, enomsebenzi olula wokunyakazisa isisindo esingaphansi kwethani uma igijima. Idonsa ngamagiya ayisithupha i-ZF sequential gearbox oshintshwayo.
Ukubeka phansi wonke la mandla i-Excite Rallye Raid ayizange ikwenzele phansi. Ihlomise i-Evoque ngamakhoyili angu-8 (amabili esondweni ngalinye) okushaya isikhathi eside kanye nokumelana okuphezulu nengcindezi. Inani alikadalulwa, kodwa kubo bonke abafisa ukugijima esigabeni se-T3 kubonakala sengathi banenketho enhle kakhulu lapha.
