This new ZF 9-Speed automatic transmission will not only make Evoque one of the most fuel efficient Land Rover cars, but also enhance the overall driving performance for the owner. Apparently, this new gearbox will be able to improve the fuel economy by 16% and is lighter than the 6-speed automatic gearbox that was present previously in the car. Besides being used in the Land Rover Evoque, the same ZF 9-Speed Automatic transmission will also be seen used by auto majors like Chrysler and Honda.
