For the year 2024, the UK-based brand Land Rover has brought a refreshed Range Rover Evoque at Rs 67.90 lakh ex-showroom. The SUV is available in the Dynamic SE trim and offers two powertrain options. More on that later.
In terms of exterior, the Evoque facelift gets two new colours, called Corinthian Bronze and Tribeca Blue. It also gets a redesigned grille, LED headlamps and DRLs, diamond-cut wheels and red brake callipers.
For the interior, the Evoque has perforated leather seats with heating and cooling functions, Moonlight Chrome detailing on the steering wheel, console trim and air vents as well. This is complemented by a new Shadow Grey Ash Veneer.
The Evoque features a new 11.4-inch curved Pivi Pro touchscreen infotainment system. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and has over-the-air software update support. The car also has wireless phone charging. There is an air purifier on board, which has PM2.5 filtration and CO2 management and monitoring systems. The Evoque also has 3D Surround View and ClearSight Ground View systems which give the driver a 360-degree view around the car and also a view under the bonnet to help navigate in broken roads or off-road conditions.
As mentioned earlier, the Evoque has two powertrain options – a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivering 250.2PS and 365Nm and a 2.0-litre diesel mild hybrid engine delivering 204.4PS and 430Nm. Both powertrains are equipped with a 48V lithium-ion battery connected to a Belt integrated Starter Generator (BiSG) to save fuel in start-stop driving conditions. The power is put down via a 9-speed automatic gearbox.
The Evoque also gets Terrain Response 2, which allows the driver to adjust the SUV’s settings according to the driving conditions. You can choose between Eco, Comfort, Grass-Gravel-Snow, Mud-Ruts, Sand, Dynamic and Automatic modes. The modes change the settings of the engine, transmission, AWD system, suspension and stability control systems depending on the conditions.
The Evoque goes up against the likes of the Audi Q5, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC and the Volvo XC60.
