Evoque takes a bend on Land Rover Experience It's all a question of care with both the steering and the right foot. Land Rover cars can do amazing things, but most never go near serious off road driving. Even the Land Rover Experience sessions may be tame compared with the unscheduled off roading of country estates. An old fashioned Defender is a far more rugged vehicle, without umpteen cameras, sonar, and all the rest of the electronic wizardry essential to ensure a modern Land Rover can cope with anything - but isn't expected to get dirty.
