Land Rover has sold 270,000 units of the Evoque since the model was launched in 2011.

Land Rover unveiled the Evoque Autobiography Dynamic, a sportier version of the Range Rover Evoque SUV, which will get more power and better handling. The new Evoque Autobiography Dynamic will go on sale in the international markets by the end of 2014. 
 
The Range Rover Evoque Autobiography Dynamic comes with an upgraded version of the existing 2.0-litre turbo-petrol motor which will produce 281bhp, 44bhp more than the standard version. The engine is mated to a new nine-speed ZF-sourced automatic gearbox. The Range Rover Evoque Autobiography Dynamic also gets an uprated steering which, according to the manufacturer, has been specially tuned for greater on-centre precision. There are tweaks to suspension geometry and also on offer are firmer springs and recalibrated dampers. This, according to Land Rover, will help with increased agility and turn-in response, without impacting ride quality.
