Land Rover will launch the updated Evoque in India on November 19, 2015.
The facelifted Evoque features mild styling tweaks on its exteriors such as a new front bumper, enlarged air intakes and a new grill and alloy wheel design. It will also get all-LED adaptive headlamps. The rear gets a new tailgate spoiler and high-level LED stoplight. In the cabin, the updated SUV features new seats, door casings, new soft-touch materials and offers various colour options.
The Evoque gets Land Rover’s new 8.0-inch touchscreen-based infotainment system, InControl Touch, and a new TFT display in the instrument panel. It also benefits from the All-Terrain Progress Control (ATPC), a new technology first seen on the Range Rover. The tech maintains a pre-determined speed off-road to assist the driver while negotiating tricky terrain. New safety features included as standard are lane-keeping assist, autonomous emergency braking and a drowsy driver warning.
For the India-spec Evoque, the manufacturer has confirmed the following functions:
- Hands-free tailgate function
- Head-up display
- Surround camera system
- 17 speakers, 825-watt Meridian Surround Sound System
- Rear seat entertainment
The Range Rover Evoque currently comes with a 187bhp 2.2-litre diesel engine mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox. Locally assembled, the SUV is priced starting from Rs 49.2 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
