New lighting, renewed interior
After just under five years, Land Rover gives the Range Rover Evoque a facelift. The refresh that the smallest Range Rover undergoes is remarkably brief and is therefore very similar to the update that the Range Rover Discovery Sport recently underwent.
You have to have the current generation Range Rover Evoque in mind to immediately see the differences with the pre-facelift model. The Evoque gets new ones Pixel Led-called matrix headlights with a new interpretation and the signature in the rear lights is also being overhauled. The Range Rover Evoque further benefits from the arrival of new paint colors and a handful of small exterior details changes on a number of versions.
The interior of the Evoque before the facelift.
Inside we see a bigger change. Just like in the recently renewed Land Rover Discovery Sport, we also find a completely new center console in this sharpened Evoque. The Range Rover Evoque gets a new curved 11.4-inch infotainment screen that is no longer integrated into the center console, but appears to float slightly in front of it. The second screen that you used to find one floor below and with which you controlled the climate control, among other things, makes way for a storage compartment with an induction charger. The buttons for the climate control are now virtually housed in the infotainment screen. Leather upholstery is no longer available in the Evoque from now on. Range Rover does supply the Evoque with Kvadrat (wool) from now on.
The updated Range Rover Evoque is available in S, SE, HSE and Autobiography trim levels. As before, there is a plug-in hybrid powertrain again. It is called P300e and gives the compact SUV a range of up to 62 kilometers thanks to a new composition of the 14.9 kWh battery. The P300e again has a three-cylinder petrol engine that, together with an electric motor, produces a system power of 309 hp. You can sprint from a standstill to a speed of 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds. Of course, mild-hybrid machines are also available in the Evoque.
Since the arrival of the first generation Range Rover Evoque, more than 6,000 copies have been registered in our country – spread over two generations. That’s it after the full size Range Rover and the Land Rover Freelander are Land Rover’s most iconic models.
