Land Rover has given the smallest Range Rover model, the Evoque, a series of updates which include a new all-glass dashboard.
New 11.4-inch screen
It means that the Evoque now aligns with the Range Rover Velar and the Land Rover Discovery Sport in having a cabin with almost no physical buttons.
Instead, the Evoque gets a new 11.4-inch touchscreen running the latest version of Land Rover's impressive'Pivi Pro' software. That software gets an update itself, meaning it now has two fast-access menu bars on the screen, and Land Rover reckons that you can get to 80 per cent of the car's functions with no more than two clicks on the screen.
At the beginning of every journey, drivers are presented with a Pre-Drive panel for fast access to commonly used features, such as window demisters and heated seats.
Sadly, that does mean that the simple-to-use climate control panel, which sat below the screen in the outgoing Evoque, has gone and has been replaced by a storage area which includes a wireless phone charger.
The new infotainment system also includes smartphone connectivity and an app which allows you access to vehicle functions and control the charging of the plug-in hybrid version.
Improved electric range
There are also some mechanical changes for the Evoque. The entire petrol and diesel engine lineup - except for the most basic 165hp diesel model - now get mild hybrid assistance, which should help improve real-world fuel economy.
There's also an update for the plug-in hybrid P300e version. Although its 14.9kWh battery has the same capacity as before, improvements to the chemical makeup have liberated a little extra EV range. The official figure is now 63km, and Land Rover reckons that 50km is a realistic day-to-day range. Power from that hybrid system remains at a combined 309hp, and the CO2 emissions are just 31g/km. The P300e also now gets a 50kW fast-charging option, allowing you to use SC fast chargers and giving you an 80 per cent battery top-up in around 30mins. The total combined range on a full tank and full battery is reckoned to be 650km.
Pixel headlights
Land Rover has also slightly changed the Evoque's styling with new high-performance LED headlights. These get 'Pixel' technology allowing for adaptive high-beams at night, which keep as much light on the road as possible without dazzling other road users.
Inside, the Evoque also gets an updated cabin air filter, which can filter out tiny PM2.5 particles of soot and dust, significantly improving cabin air quality and is a boon for those with hay fever and other allergies.
Geraldine Ingham, Managing Director, Range Rover, said: "The original compact luxury Range Rover for the city is even smarter and more sophisticated than its predecessor. The cabin is reductive and serene, with new materials and colourways for effortless luxury. A single curved glass interface and clean air technology allows clients to enjoy the calm and tranquility that is the hallmark of a Range Rover."
