Published: Tuesday, February 10, 2026, 18:15 [IST]

The Range Rover Evoque will be locally produced in India at Tata Motors' Chennai manufacturing facility starting from this month. It is currently the most accessible model in the Range Rover lineup and the second most affordable vehicle across the entire Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) portfolio. Here's a closer look at the key highlights, features, and technologies of this premium luxury SUV.

Range Rover Evoque Key Highlights

Signature Range Rover Design

The Evoque carries forward Range Rover's distinctive design philosophy. It features a floating roof, sculpted bonnet, elegant 3D grille, premium LED lighting, chiselled tail lamps, and a continuous waistline that enhances its sleek & muscular stance.

Multiple Hybrid Powertrains

The Evoque is offered with both petrol and diesel mild-hybrid powertrains, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The petrol mild-hybrid engine produces 184 kW of power and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 7.6 seconds, with a claimed top speed of around 230 km/h.

The diesel mild-hybrid variant produces 150 kW of power, achieving 0-100 km/h in just 8.5 seconds and a top speed close to 213 km/h. Both engines deliver strong performance and improved efficiency through mild-hybrid technology.

All-Terrain Capability

True to the Range Rover badge, the Evoque offers strong all-terrain capability. It features intelligent all-wheel drive with torque vectoring by braking, helping maintain traction and stability in challenging driving conditions.

Additional off-road technologies include Terrain Response, All-Terrain Progress Control, Hill Launch Assist, Roll Stability Control, and Dynamic Stability Control. These systems enhance confidence in all conditions, including wet roads, gravel, snow, and uneven terrains.

Classy Interiors

The cabin reflects Range Rover's minimalist luxury approach, featuring premium materials and modern design. The seats feature premium upholstery designed for enhanced comfort and long-distance usability.

Premium Technology

Key highlights include an 11.4-inch curved Pivi Pro infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital driver display, a 3D surround-view camera with ClearSight Ground View, and a Meridian premium sound system. The SUV also comes equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), enhancing safety and driving convenience.

Pricing and Outlook

The Range Rover Evoque is currently priced at around ₹64.86 lakh (ex-showroom). The Local assembly could enhance its competitiveness, but its real success will depend on pricing strategy and brand positioning in India's evolving luxury SUV segment.

The car faces strong competition from brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi, which are leading in the luxury SUV market in India. It remains to be seen how the locally assembled Evoque strengthens JLR's position in this segment.
