JLR has launched the facelifted Range Rover Evoque at Rs 47.10 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai, pre-octroi). The updates on the SUV include revised exterior styling, as well as additions to the interior and equipment list.

The Evoque is available in four variants – Pure, SE, HSE and HSE Dynamic and comes with a three-year/1 lakh km warranty, whichever comes first.

In terms of styling, the facelifted Evoque's front fascia gets a new bumper, a new grille on the top-spec HSE Dynamic, and new Xenon headlamps with daytime running lights. The rear features restyled LED tail-lamps and the SUV gets a new alloy wheel design. Inside, the seats are new, and the cabin gets JLR’s latest 8.0-inch InControl Touch infotainment system.

The Evoque facelift comes equipped with a long list of features such as a hands-free tail-gate function which allows the owners to open the tailgate by waving their foot under the rear bumper, a heads-up display, surround camera system, panoramic sunroof, mood lighting, a 17-speaker 825W Meridian sound system, rear-seat entertainment display and a tyre pressure monitoring system. Land Rover’s Terrain Response System is standard across all variants. 

Additional features apart, the updated Evoque is powered by the same 2.2-litre diesel engine developing 187bhp mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox as the pre-facelifted model.

The facelifted Range Rover Evoque rivals the likes of the Audi Q5 and BMW X3.

Kwid has the best ride and handling mix here. Tall 180mm ground clearance only adds to its SUV-like stance.

At 300 litres, the boot is as big as some much larger hatchbacks.

Kwid’s dog-leg reverse is unique.

Kwid’s touchscreen is a segment-breaking feature.

Kwid’s click-shut AC vents are cleverly executed.

Softly sprung Eon is comfy at low speeds, but gets unsettled as you go faster. It feels quite refined though.

A surprising amount of boot space.

Eon switchgear quality transcends the segment.

Eon’s gearbox shift action feels a little bit rubbery.

Eon window switches on doors.

Alto 800 feels the peppiest and nicest to drive. Ride a tad firm but good at soaking up bumps and potholes.

Small 177-litre boot is only good for a couple of soft bags.

Alto dials look plain, much like the rest of the car.

Alto’s flat cubby holds a bottle.
