Land Rover RANGE ROVER EVOQUE

Changes to the interior of the 2024 Range Rover Evoque are more prominent than the exterior. The seats and the rest of the upholstery get leather. But the Evoque is available in cool textured cloth upholstery that covers the door panels, the seats, and the dashboard. Like the updated Velar, all physical buttons in the Evoque are gone. All functions are controlled via the 11.4-inch curved touchscreen system that runs Land Rover's latest Pivi Pro infotainment software. The display is crisp and large. The system is connected to a Meridian audio system. Important controls like volume, temperature, drive modes, fan speed, and media are all accessible with one or two simple touches. A few physical buttons would have been more than useful. The 12.3-inch drivers information display is more useful than earlier. The multifunction steering wheel controls all multimedia functions. There are a number of storage spaces on the central console and doors. The rear seat gets a central armrest with cupholders. Overall, the 2024 Range Rover Evoque's cabin is both premium and practical.  

The 2024 Range Rover Evoque gets a new grille, along with new headlamps and more aggressive bumpers. The car gets all-round LED lighting. The headlights now get pixel LEDs that offer long-distance visibility. There are new daytime running lights (DRLs). The blacked-out Range Rover lettering on the nose looks stylish and cool. The Evoque's signature floating roof gets cool accent colours like bronze or gold. The lower half of the front and rear bumpers, front fenders, and the bonnet also get accent colour garnish. The side gets a strong character line, along with new flush door handles. The rear part gets a blacked-out faux diffuser and sleeker taillamps. Land Rover's new ‘reductive’ design philosophy is apparent in these updates. Dimension-wise, the 2024 Range Rover Evoque remains the same. The car runs on 19-inch alloy wheels. 

The cabin of the 2024 Range Rover Evoque isn't exactly spacious. But the massive panoramic sunroof makes the cabin more open and airy. The two front seats are nicely bolstered and get the maximum legroom and headroom. The rear seat is a bit crammed like most SUVs in its segment. It's more suited for two passengers than three. The bench-type rear seat gets supportive cushioning and a nice reclining angle. Thigh support is good, too. However, the sloping roofline may cause some trouble for taller passengers. The rear seat also doesn't get a separate climate control. The suspension feels jittery sometimes but absorbs most bumps and potholes with minimal impact inside the cabin 

The 2024 Range Rover Evoque's entry-level model is equipped with a turbocharged, four-cylinder, 2.0-litre petrol engine that produces 197 hp of maximum power. The motor is mated to a nine-speed all-wheel-drive automatic. The transmission is seamlessly mated, and the powertrain offers a relaxed driving experience. The steering is light and comfortable. It's easy to manoeuvre the car in city traffic. The dynamic mode adds more weight for longer rides. The car handles quite well with minimal body roll. Cruising on the highway is steady and planted.

The 2024 Range Rover Evoque comes one of the best 360-degree camera systems, a rearview monitor, rear and front rear washers, and Terrain Response System. The driver's display unit supports Google Maps. Other standard equipment includes pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control and semi-autonomous driving mode.

The 2024 Range Rover Evoque is a premium SUV that's also practical. It offers a comfortable ride and comes with a long list of features. It's not very fuel-efficient, but it is worthy of its price.
