Gliding serenely through the countryside at the wheel of the sophisticated new 2024 model 範囲 Rover Evoque, I was reminded just what brilliant 乗り物s our home-grown British モーター 製造業者 JLR produces.

Cocooned in my own luxurious living room on wheels, I 反映するd on how I've followed this game-changing 範囲 Rover throughout its life.

Now I was bringing the story up to date with this year's 昇格, though mindful of some more 圧力（をかける）ing 問題／発行するs ― まず第一に／本来 on the 窃盗 of its 乗り物s, 関心s over 保険 and parts 供給（する）, with all of which JLR is grappling.

Riding on 20in wheels, I drove the P300e plug-in hybrid 見解／翻訳／版 in Autobiography 削減する, which 連合させるs a frugal turbocharged 3-cylinder 1.5-litre 石油 engine with an electric モーター to develop 308 hp, 許すing it to 加速する from 残り／休憩（する） to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds up to a 最大限 132 mph.?

A 広大な, panoramic, 事情に応じて変わる, 色合いd glass roof gives a sense of airy sp エース while its 最高の，を越す-end Meridian hi-fi is a £630 昇格.

It's an engaging 運動, though the 押し進める to 除去する buttons for a clutter-解放する／自由な minimalist dashboard may be going too far.

Main 運動 settings are 慰安, grass and gravel, mud/ruts, sand and 自動車. There's also hill 降下／家系 支配（する）／統制する, wade sensing and intelligent four-wheel 運動.?

Once fully 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d, a 約束d electric-only 範囲 of up to 37 miles is ideal for short and 近づく- silent 無-放出／発行 減刑する／通勤するs, shopping trips, and social or 冒険的な events. And there's still the 安全 and 慰安 of the 石油-electric hybrid 始める，決める-up from a 56.5 litre 燃料 戦車／タンク.

供給するing you keep it 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d and 運動 sensibly, 消費 is up to a （人命などを）奪う，主張するd 190mpg, with 全体にわたる CO2 放出／発行s of just 33g/km, though I 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑う few would 達成する that.

The 範囲 starts at £40,080, but the 見解／翻訳／版 I drove, at £63,565, 含むd £3,125 of fitted extras, 含むing a tracker 窃盗 警報 subscription as a £520 選択.

With the 乗り物 seen as 存在 的d by 犯罪の ギャング（団）s, JLR has 高めるd 安全 on all new models and is retro-fi tting earlier ones, 同様に as 開始する，打ち上げるing its own 保険 選択 for 買い手s.

Funky?two-wheeled BMW

On a BMW car 開始する，打ち上げる this week, I was pleasingly コースを変えるd by this fun and funky electric two-wheeled beamer ― ideal to （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 the jams or anti-car 政権s on trips into town.

The BMW CE 02, is a 殴打／砲列 力／強力にするd e-scooter/e-motorcycle cross. Feeling incredibly 強健な, though light, the 4 kW (5 hp) 見解／翻訳／版 costing from £7,450 has a 最高の，を越す 速度(を上げる） of 28 mph, a 範囲 of 28 miles, and can be ridden in the UK by anyone with a 基準 car licence.

The more powerful 11 kW (15 hp) 見解／翻訳／版, from £8,450, has a 最高の，を越す 速度(を上げる） of 59 mph and a 範囲 of 56 miles, but 要求するs a motorbike licence.?

There are three riding 方式s: 'Flow' for 都市の traffic; 'Surf' for more acceleration and effortless 巡航するing and 'Flash' for a sportier experience.?

Suitable for riding 'two-up', features 含む a 逆転するing assistant and LED headlamps.
