The Range Rover Evoque has received a small update and while the changes aren’t immediately visible to the eye, there’s been some work done in the cabin. Here are the details, plus how much you can expect to pay.

At a glance, the 2024 Range Rover Evoque looks very much like the 2023 model. Not that the outgoing model isn’t pleasing to the eye, but in the world of facelifts this one is properly small. But changes there are, not just in how this luxury SUV looks but how it treats occupants inside as well.

What’s changed?

Subtle changes but the Evoque is still a classy head-turner.

Let’s start with the visuals, specifically the grille. There’s a new mesh-style pattern in place, adopting thin rectangles versus irregular hexagons. On either side of the grille, there are new headlights that look indistinguishable from the current model, but it’s what’s inside that matters. These are new Pixel 1 LED lights, featuring 3 times as many LEDs as before. Furthermore, each light contains 4 pixel modules with LEDs that are individually controlled, projecting varying amounts of light in different directions.

Also new for the 2024Evoqueare fresh wheels up to 21 inches in diameter. New exterior colours include Tribeca Blue, Corinthian Bronze, and Arroios Grey, and that about does it for the visual changes on the outside. We told you this was a slim facelift.

A new touchscreen has made physical buttons redundant, hence the minimalistic look.

There’s a bit more happening inside the cockpit. The driver and front-seat passenger will immediately notice a new 11.4-inch landscape-oriented touchscreen. This is a curved screen that mounts away from the dash, floating style. It sits above a new centre console that eliminates physical controls save for a redesigned drive shift stalk. The effect is one of extreme minimalism, relegating many vehicle functions to either the steering wheel or touchscreen.

Continuing with tech news, the 2024 Range Rover Evoque enjoys the latest Pivi Pro 2 infotainment system. This supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa 10 is integrated for voice control. And then there are the cameras, a systemJLRsays is among the most sophisticated setup in the Evoque’s class. A 3D surround camera is supplemented with a ClearSight ground view camera and an interior rearview camera.

The automaker also says the Cabin Air Purification Plus system is among the best in class and leather is replaced with Kvadrat wool blend fabric for the first time on the Evoque.
