2024 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

The 2024 Range Rover Evoque is a compact luxury SUV and the smallest and most affordable Range Rover around. The Evoque slots below the larger Velar in the British automaker's lineup and draws a lot of design influence from the Velar as well as the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. That's especially true for 2024 thanks to some mild changes for the Evoque both inside and out.

The Evoque's changes for 2024 are a bit underwhelming and fall far short of a redesign. The new infotainment system's navigation and media controls are improved, but the climate controls are cumbersome now that everything is routed through the touchscreen instead of traditional physical controls. We're also disappointed that Land Rover discontinued the more powerful P300 engine option. The base 246-horsepower engine, which is now the only one you can get, feels underpowered compared to its rivals. One plus is the updated exterior styling. New headlights, a new grille and redesigned bumpers help keep the Evoque looking fresh and in line with Range Rover's newer models.

The Evoque competes in the smallest of the luxury SUV classes, which is no surprise since it's the smallest in the Range Rover lineup. Some of Edmunds' favorites include the sporty BMW X1, the well-rounded Volvo XC40 and the spacious Mercedes-Benz GLB. The Evoque is both slightly smaller and a bit more expensive than its rivals, though you do get a lot of standard features and driver aids with the Range Rover. The Evoque's standard all-wheel drive used to be a big plus, but it's becoming more common in this class of SUVs.

Of the two trims, we would opt for the base level S trim. Most of the upgrades on the Dynamic SE trim are cosmetic, and the same options are available on both trims. Of those, we would also opt for both the Dynamic Handling Pack for the adaptive suspension and the Technology Pack for the surround-view camera and head-up display.
