Produced since 2011 and updated in 2015 for the 2016 MY, the Range Rover Evoque continues to be one of, if not the most desirable compact luxury crossover on sale today. Because sales are still going strong, and the looks are still fresh, the 2017 Range Rover Evoque isn’t a substantial update over the previous model year. Still, all add-ons are welcomed, including the tantalizing Ember Special Edition.
Starting at £30,600 in the United Kingdom, the pricing hasn’t changed over the current model year, yet the exterior color palette has. Now available in no less than 18 different paint jobs, the Evoque also gains an updated all-terrain system. Offered as standard on the HSE Dynamic trim level and above, Low Traction Launch aims to maximize traction in low-grip situations by controlling the torque sent to each wheel.
For the 2017 Range Rover Evoque SE Tech (£33,000), the automaker has added automatic high beam assist and 12-way powered seats as standard. The HSE Dynamic (£41,400) and trim levels above it receive a suite of goodies for the InControl infotainment system: 1,280 x 542-pixel resolution for the 10.2-inch display, 3D mapping, birds’ eye view navigation, faster responses, smartphone-like pan and pinch to zoom, as well as Touch Pro technology.
The latter enables the driver to sync their smartphone with the car to help pre-plan a route. Navigation will continue on the smartphone after the driver leaves the vehicle. As an added (and somewhat useless) bonus, the system can share the ETA with other users via text message.
This may sound confusing, but the Evoque now has an even more lavish trim level than the Autobiography. Christened Graphite Design, you should think of it as a visual package for the Autobiography. Its highlights are 20-inch alloy wheels which are finished in Satin Technical Grey, a black grille with Dorchester Grey surround, a black roof and black Range Rover lettering, black exhaust surrounds, black mirror caps, foglight surrounds, vents, black everything. Even the headlights and taillights are garnished with a darker tint. The price of the pack? That’ll be £2,125, thank you!
What about the Ember Special Edition? Well, this Range Rover Evoque is based on the HSE Dynamic and commands a premium of £3,800. For the money spent, you get the car pictured in the gallery below. It does look the part in Santorini Black with Firenze Red accenting, doesn’t it?
The exterior color combo continues inside, where the Ember Edition boasts black leather seats and gloss black trim, as well as red stitching and red carpets. Priced at £47,200, the Ember is only available with the 177 horsepower Ingenium turbo diesel.
Sales of the 2017 Range Rover Evoque will start this summer, with deliveries slated for September.
