Not quite a sporty subcompact SUV yet, the updated Evoque shows us it’s been working on its legs.
arrived for 2020, it didn’t move the needle like the original. Both positively ooze fashion and style, but the older version offered a stronger, upgraded powertrain and more luxury. Neither version is all that efficient for such small SUV s, either. Do updates for 2024 change that?We tested a new Evoque Dynamic SE to find out. It’s the higher of the two available trim levels and features the lineup’s sole engine after a mild hybrid variant was retired last year.
The Evoque also improved in our handling tests. The chic box is 1.6 seconds swifter than the last model we tested through the MT racetrack-in-a-bottle figure-eight. The crossover also sticks better in our grip measurements. The Evoque’s ride is a bit firm, although it’s perfectly tolerable now. We griped about overly harsh impacts in the pre-refresh model, but that’s been improved.
The new 11.4-inch touchscreen is 1.4 inches bigger and now sits in a significantly decluttered dash and center stack. We really like the infotainment operating system, which works quickly and is vastly more intuitive than previous Land Rover systems, with better menu layouts and clever shortcuts. We still miss physical controls for volume and cabin climate, but we were pleasantly impressed by the Evoque’s updated infotainment.
