Is it a Ford engine in the Range Rover Evoque?
In short, not in the modern lineup—the Range Rover Evoque now uses Jaguar Land Rover’s Ingenium engines, while some early models relied on Ford-sourced units.
The Evoque’s powertrain ancestry reflects a shift over time: early generations relied on Ford-based engines, and later models moved to JLR’s in-house Ingenium family. This article breaks down how engine sourcing changed across generations and markets to answer whether Ford engines are still in use today.
Ford-era engines (early Evoque, 2011–2014/15)
Engine sourcing and scope
This section covers the engines that appeared when Ford technology and Duratorq lineage were used in the Range Rover Evoque during its first generation and early refreshes.
- Petrol: Ford 2.0-litre EcoBoost turbocharged engine was common in early Evoque models.
- Diesel: 2.2-litre Duratorq turbo diesel (the TD4/SD4 variants) was used in various markets.
In these initial years, engine supply was tied to Ford’s powertrain families, reflecting broader ties between Ford and the Land Rover portfolio at that time.
Ingenium-era engines (mid-2015 onward)
Current powertrain strategy
From the mid-2010s, Jaguar Land Rover introduced its Ingenium family, replacing many Ford-based units in the Evoque and other models.
- Petrol: 2.0-litre turbocharged Ingenium petrol engine, offered in Evoque with various power outputs.
- Diesel: 2.0-litre turbocharged Ingenium diesel engine, used in Evoque alongside the petrol variant in many markets.
Some markets also offered mild-hybrid variants on Ingenium engines (with 48V systems) to improve efficiency, depending on local regulations and trim levels.
Summary
The Range Rover Evoque has transitioned from Ford-based engines in its early years to Jaguar Land Rover’s Ingenium engines in later generations. If you own or are considering a specific Evoque, check the model year and market to determine the exact engine family and the availability of any hybrid variants.
