The Range Rover Evoque compact SUV has been around since 2010 – it’s the raked and trimmer alternative to its big brother Range Rover variants as well as the newer Range Rover Velar. There have been few changes over the Evoque’s lifetime – notably, Land Rover added a truly weird convertible to its lineup a few years back – so it’s due for this update bowing for the 2020 model year. Below are styling, performance and technology highlights of the new Evoque; pricing will be announced in February 2019 at the Chicago Auto Show. (The 2019 model starts at a base price of $48,400.)
Styling
The new Evoque’s exterior styling is not drastically changed and the updated model retains essentially the same footprint. A slightly longer wheelbase allows for very modest increases in rear passenger legroom and cargo space.
Slim LED headlights and more streamlined door handles, a long black panel on the vehicle’s rear and some new colors and interior materials round out visual changes.
Performance
In addition to a 346-horsepower, gasoline-powered inline-four, the 2020 Evoque will offer a 296-horsepower “mild hybrid” powertrain (a small battery supplements power and reduces emissions).
Land Rover’s “Terrain Response 2” tech is introduced the Evoque lineup, including an automatic setting, which detects surface conditions and adapts on its own for optimal traction.
