Land Rover has updated its Range Rover Evoque model, adding new design features and technologies, with emissions from 109g/km.
Design updates include a new front bumper, two new grille designs, all-LED headlamps and three new alloy wheel designs.
Interior changes include new seats and door casings, 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 (Autobiography only).
The new Euro6-compliant four-cylinder Ingenium unit provides up to 180PS, fuel economy of up to 68mpg and CO2 emissions of 109g/km - down from 129g/km.
Jeremy Hicks, Jaguar Land Rover UK managing director, said: “The Evoque has proven to be an enormous success in the UK with sales of 62,000 since its launch back in 2011. Clever design, class leading residuals and competitive cost of ownership have all been contributors to its success.
“The 2016 model year Evoque builds on this achievement with a new engine line-up delivering outstanding CO2 emissions down to 109g/km and for the first time; an all-wheel drive version under 130g/km. This, combined with intelligent and relevant technology, will ensure that the Range Rover Evoque is an attractive proposition to both private and fleet and business customers.”
InControl Touch is fitted as standard equipment on SE Evoque models, allowing users to swipe between screens just like a smartphone. InControl Apps allows owners to access many popular smartphone apps using the centrally-mounted touchscreen on the central console.
Additionally, the six-speaker stereo system can be upgraded to include SD-card based satellite navigation, with DAB radio featuring as standard across the range.
InControlTouch Plus, standard on HSE Dynamic and Autobiography, can also be specified, comprising HDD-based navigation, a rear-seat entertainment system complete with a pair of eight-inch video screens and wireless digital headphones, and an 11- or 17-speaker Meridian audio system.
The 2016 model year Evoque’s trim levels have been realigned to match those of the Range Rover Sport so customers have the choice of three models: SE, HSE Dynamic and Autobiography.
More than 400,000 Evoques have been produced globally since its introduction in 2011.
Deliveries of the new model will begin in August 2015.

Those CO2 etc figures look impressive but what have they done to the front bumper design, it just doesn't look like in those photos it just looks like a change of the sake of it?
