The luxury automaker from the Great Britain, Land Rover, has officially taken the veil off a facelifted version of the Range Rover Evoque at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. Needless to say, since it is a facelift, there may not be too many changes to see. Nonetheless, this does not necessarily mean that the car does not deserve attention at the auto expo in Geneva.
Speaking of the Range Rover Evoque, the car is already a victor in many areas, to say the least. With that being said, it is really not easy at all for the British automaker to design a facelift for its aforementioned posh crossover model. Yet again, the British automotive marquee has actually managed somehow to redesign the vehicle, albeit not necessarily radically, to make the car even more attractive than ever. This time around, the car has been treated with fully adaptive LED headlamps, a newly designed front grille, air intakes that are larger than before, new LED taillights and also a new tailgate spoiler. The car is also seen sitting firmly on a set of newly designed alloy wheels.
In terms of performance, the vehicle packs the company’s new TD4 Ingenium engine. Made of the aluminum material, this engine delivers a total power output of either 150 HP or 180 HP. However, for customers opting for a petrol variant, they can actually get the 2016 Range Rover Evoque to have a total power output of 240 HP. This will take the car from a complete standstill to the speed of 100 km/h in just 7.6 seconds. The car can also reach a top speed of 217 km/h.
On the interior, Land Rover has equipped the car with a host of luxury amenities, including an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. In addition to that, what makes the car even more appealing is that it now features the so-called All-Terrain Progress Control, or ATPC for short, which is ideal for off-road driving. This system has been derived from the model’s bigger sibling.
The 2016 Range Rover facelift model will reportedly be shipped starting from August this year and it will arrive at dealerships in over 170 countries.
