New RANGE ROVER EVOQUE 2024 | FACELIFT #new_car #rangerover #rover #evoque #2024 #facelift

Fashion is the 2024 Range Rover Evoque's ethos, and as such, it dons a more striking ensemble than its rivals.
The Evoque does channel its big brother—the flagship Land Rover Range Rover SUV—to good effect inside, with comfortable seats, high-end materials, and a slick-looking touchscreen infotainment system. It can venture off-road too, with standard all-wheel drive and advantageous approach and departure angles—just don't expect to rock crawl alongside the more rugged Defender.

At a glance, the 2024 Range Rover Evoque looks very much like the 2023 model. Not that the outgoing model isn't pleasing to the eye, but in the world of facelifts this one is properly small. But changes there are, not just in how this luxury SUV looks but how it treats occupants inside as well.
Let's start with the visuals, specifically at the grille. There's a new mesh-style pattern in place, adopting thin rectangles versus irregular hexagons. On either side of the grille are new headlights that look indistinguishable from the current model, but it's what's inside that matters. These are new Pixel 1 LED lights, featuring three times as many LEDs as before. Furthermore, each light contains four pixel modules with LEDs that are individually controlled, projecting varying amounts of light in different directions. In Europe, these lights are standard on Dynamic HSE and Autobiography trims.

The Evoque is powered by a 246-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder dubbed P250, and it comes standard with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. At our test track, the Evoque delivered a 7.1-second 60-mph run when we tested it back in 2020 and given that the powertrain hasn't changed since that test we reckon the result still is relevant to the 2024 model. Rivals such as the BMW X1 and the Volvo XC40 have both delivered slightly quicker times, but the Range Rover is still competitively lively. On the road, there's no mistaking the Evoque for a hatchback car. It feels substantial, and the seat height is SUV-appropriate. It adequately handles corners but won't satisfy enthusiast drivers in the same way as the BMW or Mercedes-Benz GLA-class.

Also new for the 2024 Evoque are fresh wheels up to 21 inches in diameter. New exterior colors include Tribeca Blue, Corinthian Bronze, and Arroios Grey, and that about does it for the visual changes on the outside. We told you this was a slim facelift.
There's a bit more happening inside the cockpit. The driver and front-seat passenger will immediately notice a new 11.4-inch landscape-oriented center touchscreen, though it's not just slapped into place. This is a curved screen that mounts away from the dash, floating style. It sits above a new center console that eliminates physical controls save for a redesigned shift stalk. The effect is one of extreme minimalism, relegating many vehicle functions to either the steering wheel or touchscreen.

Continuing with tech news, the 2024 Range Rover Evoque enjoys the latest Pivi Pro 2 infotainment system. This supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa 10 is integrated for voice control. And then there are the cameras, a system JLR says is among the most sophisticated setup in the Evoque's class. A 3D surround camera is supplemented with a ClearSight ground view camera and an interior rear view cam. The automaker also says the Cabin Air Purification Plus system is among the best in class, available for the first time on the Evoque.

That said, the interior materials are quite nice. The Evoque can be ordered with a very cool textured cloth upholstery that covers the seats, door panels, and dashboard; leather is still offered as standard, though. Other standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, and ambient interior lighting. Cargo space behind the rear seat isn't as generous as you'd expect from an SUV, but it held six carry-on suitcases in our testing, which aligns with a good part of the segment.

In Europe, the 2024 Evoque is available in S, Dynamic SE, Dynamic HSE, and Autobiography trims. Powertrain choices include the 1.5-liter three-cylinder mild-hybrid gas engine with 160 horsepower, or 309 hp with the plug-in hybrid system. A 2.0-liter mild-hybrid brings 249 hp burning gasoline, or either 163 hp or 204 hp with diesel.
Pricing for the 2024 Range Rover Evoque starts at 49,800 euros. Information specific to North America, including engines, equipment, and pricing, will be announced soon.
