2016 Range Rover Evoque facelift launched in India

The Evoque has been extremely popular both in India and internationally and is Land Rover’s best selling product in recent years. Now, to make it even more appealing, Land Rover India has launched the upgraded and facelifted Evoque in India at a price range of Rs 47.1 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai). The new Range Rover Evoque will only be available with a 2.2-litre diesel engine. At the launch the New Evoque will be provided with a three year service plan and  a 3 year or 1 lakh km warranty. JLR has recieved 125 orders for the new Evoque which was confirmed at the event.

On the exterior front, the Range Rover Evoque's exterior has been further enhanced with a selection of carefully chosen revisions. These updates include a new front bumper, two new grille designs, all-LED headlamps and three new alloy wheel designs that tie up the look of the Evoque. Interior changes include new seats and door panels, new infotainment system, accessed via an eight-inch touchscreen and the introduction of new colour and materials such as Lunar Ice, Vintage Tan and Dark Cherry.

The new Range Rover Evoques will also get the new Euro Six compliant Ingenium engine range. The new 4-cylinder, 2.2-litre engine will make 180PS of peak power and will have higher fuel economy than before. The new Evoque will be mated to a 9-speed gearbox just like in the last Evoque. The new Evoque will also have an all wheel drive drivetrain along with the highly acclaimed terrain response system.

The Range Rover Evoque will slot just above the Land Rover Discovery Sport and just below the Land Rover Discovery in terms of prices in India. The Evoque in India goes up against the likes of the Porsche Macan in India along with other SUVs like the BMW X6 and the soon to be launched Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.
