The 2024 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque marks a significant evolution of the second generation, maintaining the model’s distinctive appearance while incorporating refined design elements both inside and out. This update aims to revitalize the vehicle’s appeal and boost sales figures, serving as Land Rover’s strategy to prolong the lifecycle of this successful model.
While the engine lineup remains consistent with its predecessor, the Evoque continues to offer a diverse selection of powertrains, including various gasoline and diesel MHEV engines, along with the plug-in hybrid option exemplified by the P300e variant.
The hybrid capabilities make the Evoque particularly efficient for urban use, enabling zero-emission travel for daily commuting with an all-electric range of up to 62 kilometers (39 miles). The compact battery allows for rapid charging, reaching full capacity from empty in just 30 minutes.
Power distribution is managed by an intelligent torque-on-demand four-wheel drive system, complemented by the versatile Terrain Response 2 system. This feature provides drivers with multiple driving modes – Eco, Comfort, Grass-Gravel-Snow, Mud-Ruts, Sand, Dynamic, and Automatic – optimizing performance across various terrains through precise tuning of the engine, transmission, suspension, and stability control systems.
Externally, the SUV retains its familiar silhouette with notable updates such as a redesigned grille that aligns with the Range Rover family aesthetic and slimmer headlights enhanced by advanced Pixel LED technology for improved illumination.
Buyers can choose from several trim levels – Evoque S, Dynamic SE, Dynamic HSE, and Autobiography – each offering a range of customization options including 21-inch alloy wheels. The interior provides luxurious alternatives like Kvadrat wool blend fabric upholstery as a sustainable leather substitute, while a panoramic roof floods the cabin with natural light, enhancing the sense of space.
Technological sophistication is evident in the Pivi Pro 2 infotainment system, featuring an 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen that grants front occupants intuitive access to vehicle functions. The Cabin Air Purification Plus system elevates the premium experience by monitoring air quality and alerting drivers to elevated CO2 levels via sensors integrated into the central console.
With its blend of signature design cues and cutting-edge technology shared across Land Rover’s lineup, the Evoque is poised to maintain and potentially enhance its reputation in the competitive luxury SUV segment.
