This is the newly facelifted Range Rover Evoque

Land Rover only introduced us to the second generation Evoque in 2018, but it’s already given the baby of the Range Rover family a mid-life update with a new Autobiography spec and some fresh diesel engines.

Let’s start with those engines. Part of the Ingenium family of JLR power units, both are 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesels with mild-hybrid technology in the form of a 48-volt battery and regenerative braking.

The first – and the one we may not see in the UK – is the D165 with 163bhp and 280lb ft of torque. As with all Evoque specs, it’s available with all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox, but this one can actually be had with front-wheel drive and a manual if you so desire.

The second engine is a more powerful D200 with 201bhp and 317lb ft of torque. CO2 emissions are 170g/km, and it’ll hit 62mph from standstill in 8.5 seconds. Nae bad. Those two join the petrol-engined P200, P250, P300 and the plug-in hybrid P300e in the Evoque line up.

As we’ve already alluded to, there’s also a new top spec Autobiography trim with elements from the Black Pack plus “burnished copper” accents and copper Range Rover lettering. Classy. Autobiographies also come with a new air filtration system, 21-inch alloy wheels, Matrix LED headlights and quilted Windsor leather upholstery.
