New to the Evoque is the 11.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
The dash now features a redesigned central console that features a 11.4-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen infotainment system (as seen on the Velar and Land Rover Discovery Sport), which now incorporates most important functions, including climate control functions. There's a wireless phone charging pad below the screen, and the infotainment system comes with Apple Car Play and Android Auto connectivity. Land Rover has now become the latest manufacturer to promote the use of a leather-free interior as the cabin of the Evoque is clad with Kvadrat, a wool blend fabric. Other vital features include a 3D camera, a new cabin air filtration system, over-the-air updates and connected car tech among others.
Coming to powertrains, the updated Evoque will be available with an array of engine options. Transmission options depending on the engine include a 8-speed automatic, 9-speed automatic and a 6-speed manual.
