The external changes are rather subtle: new ultra-slim LED headlamps with redesigned LED running lamp signatures, new red brake callipers, new alloy wheels with a twin 10-spoke design, and a redesigned grille with detailing reminiscent of larger Range Rovers are the only changes. Apart from this, there are now two additional colours available: Tribeca Blue and Corinthian Bronze.
Range Rover Evoque interior and features
The interior has undergone more significant changes, including the addition of a brand-new 11.4-inch curved touchscreen infotainment system with the most recent version of Pivi Pro software. The dashboard was completely redesigned as a result, and it now has a much cleaner appearance and appears to have been influenced by its bigger siblings. The HVAC controls’ rotary dials have been replaced with a hidden storage space that includes a wireless charging pad. The updated centre console has a new gear lever as well.
The dashboard lacks physical switchgear, but it makes up for it with a sidebar on either end of the touchscreen that gives you constant access to all the important features, like the audio, seating, and climate controls. According to JLR, this makes it possible to complete 80% of tasks in just two taps. An all-digital instrument cluster and a new steering wheel are also included.A new PM 2.5 air purification system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a panoramic sunroof, heated and cooled front seats, dual-zone climate control, a 360-degree surround view camera, and OTA software updates are among the other noteworthy features.
