Jaguar-Land Rover has added another model to its locally assembled vehicle portfolio in India. We broke the story way back at the Auto Expo 2014 that the Range Rover Evoque is JLR’s next product in line for local assembly.
The three-door Evoque is only available in the top-end Dynamic trim with a 237bhp 2.0-litre turbo-petrol motor while the five-door SUV is offered in three trims — Pure, Prestige and Dynamic — and with a 2.2-litre common-rail turbo-diesel engine. Both engines come mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox.
The Evoque is JLR’s fourth offering to be locally assembled in India after the Jaguar XF, the Jaguar XJ and the Land Rover Freelander SUV. Added equipment on the locally assembled Evoque includes a navigation system, front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera (standard on all trims).
The 2015 Range Rover Evoque prices (ex-showroom Mumbai) are as below:
Range Rover Evoque SD4 5 Door Pure: Rs 48.73 lakh
Range Rover Evoque SD4 5 Door Dynamic: Rs 52.40 Lakh
Range Rover Evoque SD4, 5 Door Prestige: Rs 56.21 lakh
A mid-cycle facelift for the Evoque was recently showcased at the Geneva motor show 2015 but JLR is only expected to bring that model to our market later.
