Since it’s introduction in 2011, the Range Rover Evoque has turned into a surprise best-seller for Land Rover with the company’s production line struggling to keep up with demand. The unique styling of the Evoque combined with luxury trims even on base level models has resulted in a 165 awards and a very dedicated group of fans.
What's New for 2017
The latest edition of the Range Rover Evoque is basically unchanged for the 2017 but there have been a few updates. An enhanced infotainment system that includes a 10.2-inch touchscreen with a customizable home screen allows the driver to use it like a smartphone or tablet, swiping and pinching to zoom the screen. This is option on most trim levels.
A red and black themed 'Ember' Limited Edition will be available for a short time this year. It comes with a Firenze Red roof that contrasts with the Santorini Black body color and front and rear tow eye covers.
Finally, the Range Rover Evoque is now available as a convertible with a top that can open or close in 18 seconds at speeds up to 30 miles per hour.
Customers will have some new colors to choose from this year as well with Aruba, Farallon Black, Carpathian Grey and Silicon Silver premium metallic paint finishes pushing the total number of color options up to 18.
