Range Rover Evoque 2.0TD4 180hp, too slow in acceleration?
This Evoque is an undoubtedly successful SUV-off-roader. It has personality, it shares the style (at least in part) of its bigger sisters, it is comfortable, quiet, and in short, it is a pleasure to drive. Several diesel engines are available; the least powerful is the 150 hp version, which we'll probably talk about later. Today we will focus on the one that is perhaps the most popular as an engine, the 180 hp, powered by a 4-cylinder common-rail that is not too noisy but seems not to make itself felt even when accelerating. Let's take a closer look at the specifications and then see how to improve the performance of this beautiful Evoque.
Range Rover Evoque 2.0TD4 180hp Performance
The engine is solid, with a decent 430Nm driving torque paired with an excellent 9-speed transmission. The all-wheel-drive allows you to take full advantage of the engine's driving torque. So? Where is the problem? If we want to talk about problems, the first thing to mention is probably the mass. It has a whopping weight of more than 18 quintals to move, despite the fact that the Evoque is not that long. To reach 100Km/h from a standstill, it takes 9.5 seconds, a figure that today, for a car with 180hp, seems a bit off. The top speed is around 205km/h, not particularly high but less distressing than the pure acceleration speed, especially considering the 9 available gears. For comparison, a Mercedes GLC 220d with 10 less horsepower and 30Nm less torque covers the 0-100 in 8.3 seconds with a top speed of 211Km/h. The weight of the Evoque seems to limit its overall dynamics.
How can you increase the Range Rover Evoque 2.0TD4 180hp's performance?
Here at SELETRON, we have developed an enhancement kit for the owners of this Range Rover that find it difficult to stomach the lack of driving panache. We have a specific kit ready to be shipped to you consisting of a chip tuning additional unit for common rail engines, accompanied by original automotive connectors for a very simple installation on this 4-cylinder turbo diesel. The kit, entirely produced in Italy, is complete with clear instructions and photos of this specific engine, making it very easy to assemble and requiring no permanent changes. Everything can be easily removed without leaving a trace and without voiding the warranty. This chip tuner allows you to get +25 horsepower and a good +50Nm of maximum torque. With the installation of the CHIPBOX chip tuning unit, the maximum peak torque reaches a value of 480Nm, a value much more suitable to effortlessly move the more than 18 quintals of weight, and the same goes for the extra 200hp+ power that will surely grant a more enjoyable experience
While we're on the subject of driving pleasure, we must point out that the PEDALBOOSTER TOUCH is also available for the Evoque 2.0TD4 180hp, which makes the engine more responsive to the driver's commands. By acting on the accelerator pedal position sensor signals and modifying the values according to the 4 available settings (directly adjustable according to your needs). This allows you to obtain an engine response unknown to the standard version. PEDALBOOSTER TOUCH and CHIPBOX combine to give you the very best when installed together on your Evoque. We remind you once again that these are external chip tuning modules that can be installed and removed without cutting cables, making irreversible changes, and without tampering with the car's ECU. In short, this is the best solution for increasing the power, torque, and responsiveness of the engine with the possibility of restoring everything to factory conditions at any time. That's not all. Remember that if you drive properly, you can also reduce diesel consumption with the installation of CHIPBOX!
