By far, the pickup truck segment is the one that’s leveled up a lot since 2015. It seems there’s no end to the one-upmanship between car makers be it on price, mechanical improvements, updated features, or a combination of all three.

Given its European roots and being the off-road vehicle of choice of royalty, I had been curious as to what made a “Rover” special and so distinguished that its name has become synonymous with luxury and ruggedness—two words that are rarely used in the same context, much less the same sentence. Color me excited and intimidated as I stepped into the Land Rover dealership to pick up what would be my first Range Rover experience: the new Range Rover Evoque, in its MHEV (mild hybrid) variant.
