Which Evoque Do You Have?
Range Rover Evoque Types, Generations and Gearboxes
The Evoque has changed transmission architecture several times. Early first-generation automatics used a six-speed Aisin unit, 2014-on cars moved to ZF's transverse nine-speed 9HP, while the P300e plug-in hybrid introduced a dedicated eight-speed automatic.
| Range Rover Evoque generation / type | Typical UK engines / versions | Automatic gearbox | What owners often search for |
|---|---|---|---|
| First-generation L538, 2011–2013 Pure, Prestige, Dynamic |
2.2 TD4 / SD4 diesel and 2.0 Si4 petrol depending on market | Aisin AWF21 six-speed automatic on early automatic variants | Evoque 6-speed gearbox fault, AWF21 harsh shift, Evoque delayed Drive |
| L538, 2014–2018 Facelift and later first-generation models |
2.0 petrol and diesel / Ingenium-era variants | ZF 9HP48 nine-speed automatic | Evoque 9-speed gearbox problems, 9HP48 fault, Evoque gearbox warning |
| Second-generation L551, 2019–present Petrol and diesel MHEV |
2.0 Ingenium petrol and diesel | ZF nine-speed automatic on four-cylinder AWD applications | Evoque 9HP gearbox fault, harsh low-speed shift, transmission limp mode |
| Evoque P300e / plug-in hybrid | 1.5 three-cylinder petrol + rear electric drive | Dedicated eight-speed automatic integrated into the hybrid powertrain | Evoque P300e gearbox fault, hybrid transmission warning, P300e not selecting gear |
Not sure which gearbox is fitted? Model-change years overlap and transmission identification should be confirmed from VIN/build data. This is particularly important when distinguishing early six-speed cars, ZF 9HP applications and P300e hybrid transmissions.

Range Rover Evoque Gearbox Models Explained
Identify the gearbox
We establish whether the Evoque has the early Aisin six-speed, a ZF 9HP application or the dedicated P300e hybrid transmission.
Test the fault area
Fluid level/leaks, adaptation behaviour, pressure control, valve-body operation and relevant AWD components are checked against the symptom.
Quote the correct repair
We recommend the repair indicated by the diagnosis and confirm the price before work begins.

Common Questions
Range Rover Evoque Gearbox Problems: Straight Answers
Why is my Range Rover Evoque jerking when changing gear?
Jerking can be caused by adaptation/software, hydraulic pressure, valve-body control or internal clutch operation. On ZF 9HP cars the symptom should be assessed together with fault codes and transmission adaptations.
What gearbox is fitted to my Range Rover Evoque?
Early L538 automatics used an Aisin six-speed. From the 2014 model year the Evoque adopted the ZF nine-speed automatic, while the later P300e plug-in hybrid uses a dedicated eight-speed automatic. VIN/build data is the safest identification method.
What are common ZF 9HP48 problems on an Evoque?
Common complaints include harsh or delayed shifts, refusal of certain gears, gearbox warning messages, pressure-related faults and internal transmission DTCs. JLR has published guidance for P07D4-07, P2704-07 and P07E7-07 on some early 9HP48 Evoques.
How much does an Evoque gearbox repair cost?
A targeted valve-body or solenoid repair may remain below the cost of a full rebuild, while a significant 9HP internal repair can move into the low thousands. Diagnosis is needed before a fixed price can be given.
Can I drive an Evoque with a gearbox fault?
If it is losing drive, slipping badly, banging into gear, overheating or entering limp mode, continued driving can cause additional damage. Recovery is preferable where the vehicle cannot be driven safely.
Can an Evoque AWD fault feel like a gearbox fault?
Yes. PTU, propshaft, rear-drive and mounting faults can cause vibration, clunks or resistance that feel transmission-related, so diagnosis should consider the complete driveline.
