Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

• The Evoque, originally developed from the Land Rover LRX concept shown in 2008, began global production in July 2011.
• The Evoque first launched in India soon after its global debut, available in both three-door coupe and five-door SUV configurations.
• Early on, the Evoque offered several variant levels, including Pure, SE, HSE, and HSE Dynamic, alongside options such as two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.
• The 2016 facelift introduced features such as adaptive full-LED headlamps, a revised front fascia, new alloy wheels, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and additional premium interior options.
• The 2018 model was offered with a choice of Ingenium petrol and diesel engines, both compliant with BS6 emission standards introduced in India and equipped with mild hybrid technology for efficiency.
• The new features included a larger touchscreen (later advanced to the Pivi Pro system), a 360-degree camera, premium Meridian audio, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and advanced driver assistance systems.
• The 2021 Evoque in India comes equipped with features such as a 3D Surround Camera, Cabin Air Ionisation with a PM2.5 filter, wireless device charging, and improved dual-tone interiors. Engine choices included refined Ingenium 2.0-litre petrol and diesel units.
• The 2024 Evoque, introduced in India after its global debut in 2023, brought sleeker lighting, new alloy wheel designs, a bigger 11.4-inch touchscreen, wireless charging as standard, and further improved interior accommodations.
  

• At the front, the Evoque features a reworked grille with intricate mesh patterns and a chrome finish, flanked by all-new pixel LED headlights that fuse Land Rover’s signature daytime running lights (DRLs) for a sharper and more angular look.
• The copper finish for the bonnet and tailgate lettering adds a subtly premium accent visible up close and underlines.
• The flush door handles are another hallmark of the Evoque’s exterior. These retract automatically into the door panel when locked or moving, lending it a clutter-free side profile.
• The large 19-inch alloy wheels, featuring new multi-spoke designs specifically for recent model years, fill the muscular wheel arches.
• Coming to the rear, the Evoque features slim, wrap-around LED taillamps and a roof-mounted spoiler, which are significant to the design language and aid aerodynamics.
• The rear bumper is cleanly sculpted, free of excessive decoration, and the Evoque letters in a burnished copper finish on the tailgate, as seen on the bonnet, complete the exclusive exterior flourishes.
• The Evoque’s panoramic sunroof is a signature feature, now a standard on all variants.
  

• Step inside the cabin, and the Evoque greets its buyers with premium dual-tone upholstery, while the Autobiography variant carries a refined blend of black and grey leatherette, complemented by a black suede cloth headliner and extended leather trim on the dashboard and door panels.
• The designers have introduced special colourways, such as Deep Garnet/Ebony, to offer the sense of exclusivity and personalisation.
• With a diverse choice of interiors, combined with subtle copper or bronze accents, the Evoque is a statement of luxury and exclusivity.
• The front seats are both heated and ventilated, offering 14-way electric adjustability, memory functions, and massage features for long-distance comfort.
• Rear seat passengers also enjoy heated seating, and electric adjustment is available for both front and rear seats, and a sliding panoramic sunroof adds light and a feeling of airiness to the cabin.
• The dashboard is taken by an 11.4-inch curved central touchscreen running Land Rover’s Pivi Pro infotainment system, providing intuitive access to navigation, multimedia, vehicle settings, and smartphone connectivity via both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• A 12.3-inch digital driver display delivers crisp and reconfigurable information to the driver, which reduces distraction.
• The entire in-cabin audio experience is enhanced by a 14-speaker Meridian sound system.
• The additional conveniences include wireless device charging with a phone signal booster, an electrically adjustable steering column, keyless entry, a cooled glovebox, multiple USB charging ports front and rear, and hands-free electric tailgate functionality.
• Rear seats split in a versatile 40:20:40 configuration to maximise cargo flexibility and space utility, with reported boot space at 472 litres.
