Upon first observation, the 2024 Range Rover Evoque bears a striking resemblance to its 2023 predecessor. While the previous iteration possesses an appealing aesthetic, this facelift remains subtly minimal. Nevertheless, alterations abound, extending beyond the outward appearance of this opulent SUV to enhance the comfort of its passengers within.
2024 Range Rover Evoque Preview
Exterior
Let’s begin by examining the visual aspects, particularly focusing on the front grille. Notably, there’s an updated design featuring a mesh-like pattern composed of slender rectangles instead of the previously used irregular hexagonal shapes. Adjacent to the grille, you’ll find newly designed headlights that bear a striking resemblance to the current model. However, the significant enhancements lie within. These headlights incorporate advanced Pixel 1 LED technology, boasting three times the number of LEDs compared to their predecessors. What sets them apart is the inclusion of four-pixel modules within each light, each equipped with independently controlled LEDs. This innovative configuration allows for the projection of varying intensities of light in different directions. In Europe, these cutting-edge lights come as standard features on the Dynamic HSE and Autobiography trims.
Additionally, the 2024 Evoque boasts recently introduced wheels with a maximum diameter of 21 inches. The latest lineup of exterior color options comprises Tribeca Blue, Corinthian Bronze, and Arroios Grey, completing the minimal modifications to the vehicle’s appearance. As we mentioned earlier, this update is relatively subtle in terms of aesthetics.
Interior
Inside the cockpit, there are additional features worth mentioning. The driver and front-seat passenger will be quick to observe a fresh 11.4-inch centre touchscreen, which is positioned horizontally for a wider view. However, it’s not simply affixed without thought. The screen has a curved shape and is mounted separately from the dashboard, giving it a floating appearance. Positioned below is a brand-new centre console that removes most physical buttons, except for a revamped shift stalk. This design creates a sense of remarkable simplicity, with numerous vehicle functions now accessible through either the steering wheel or the touchscreen.
Technology
Moving on to the latest in technology updates, the upcoming 2024 Range Rover Evoque brings an advanced entertainment system called Pivi Pro 2. This cutting-edge feature enables seamless connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly. Additionally, it incorporates Amazon Alexa 10 for convenient voice commands. Moreover, the Evoque boasts an exceptional camera system that has been highly praised by JLR for its sophistication within its vehicle category. The array includes a 3D surround camera, a ClearSight ground view camera, and an interior rearview camera. Another noteworthy enhancement in the Evoque is the Cabin Air Purification Plus system, which has been acclaimed as one of the top performers in its class and is now offered for the first time in this model.
Powertrains
In Europe, the 2024 Evoque offers various models like S, Dynamic SE, Dynamic HSE, and Autobiography trims. Customers can select from different engine options, including a 1.5-litre three-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engine with 160 horsepower, or a plug-in hybrid system delivering 309 horsepower. Another choice is a 2.0-litre mild-hybrid engine generating 249 horsepower using petrol, or either 163 horsepower or 204 horsepower with diesel fuel.
The starting price for the 2024 Range Rover Evoque is set at 49,800 euros. More details tailored to the Gulf market, such as engine options, features, and pricing, will be revealed in the near future.
For reference, the outgoing Evoque starts at AED 213,885 here in the UAE.
