A Land Rover rep told us that “the corporate push for bringing diesel to the States is scheduled to happen soon, but at this time we don’t have a date.” (Of note: The U.S.-spec 2016 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport will have a diesel V-6 on their options sheets.) When the updated 2016 Range Rover Evoque arrives here this fall, it will be powered by the familiar 240-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder mated to a nine-speed automatic. New powertrain options include a pair of TD4 diesels from JLR’s new Ingenium engine family, but those won’t be coming here-at least not yet, as the diesels have yet to be approved for use stateside. Shared with Jaguar, InControl’s reality didn’t live up to the hype when we sampled it in the new Discovery Sport and Jaguar XE, being slow to respond to inputs, so here’s hoping Jaguar Land Rover adds more processing power or works out the kinks by the time the 2016 Evoque hits the streets.

InControl Touch Plus can also be specified (it is, however, standard on HSE and above), bundling nav, rear-seat entertainment with a pair of eight-inch screens and wireless headphones, and an 11- or 17-speaker stereo. It also lets owners access several phone-based apps using the center-console touch screen via InControl Apps functionality. Standard kit, the system features allegedly easy-to-navigate menus and allows users to swipe between screens as on a smartphone. The biggest news in the interior is the much-anticipated arrival of Land Rover’s InControl Touch infotainment system. Lunar Ice and Vintage Tan join the optional interior colors, bringing the total number of choices to a whopping 13. Interior updates include new seats, doorsills, and “premium soft-touch materials.” Standard models make do with eight-way power-adjustable front seats, while spending the big bucks can net fourteen-way seats with optional massagers. Finally, you can choose from among three new wheel designs in two finishes. A new tailgate spoiler with a wider LED third brake light has been adopted, and the hatch gets “Gesture Tailgate,” Land Rover’s take on the wave-a-foot-under-the-bumper-and-it’ll-open functionality. Five-door HSE Dynamic and Autobiography trims are bestowed the hood vents that previously graced only the three-door models. The turn indicators are now fully part of the LED running lamps, and the 2016 Evoque also offers full-LED adaptive headlamps. The standard unit has two horizontal bars and a fine mesh pattern, while Evoque Dynamic models get a hexagonal pattern. (FYI: A convertible Evoque is also in the works.)Ī new front bumper punctuated by a pair of larger, more-aggressive air intakes and featuring slim, integrated LED fog lamps leads the update, accompanied by two new grille designs. The trim-level hierarchy also has been reordered to align with that of the Range Rover Sport, with the Evoque now available in SE, HSE, HSE Dynamic, and Autobiography versions. Rover was careful to leave intact the chunky and charming aesthetics of its bestselling model, instead focusing on a much-need revision to its dated and stutter-prone infotainment system and-in Europe, at least-bringing a pair of diesel engine options to the table.
