Land
Rover’s new Autobiography brand for the Range Rover Evoque now carries the upgraded
2-litre gasoline engine which delivers 285PS and 400Nm torque.
Engineers have further optimised the chassis for
enhanced performance and sharper handling. The derivative retains the ZF nine-speed
transmission.
Steering has been adjusted for additional on-centre
precision; the chassis also features upgraded suspension geometry, firmer
spring rates and recalibrated adaptive dampers, increasing agility and turn-in
response. Land Rover engineers claim this has been achieved without impacting
on the Range Rover Evoque’s compliant ride quality.
The 2.2-litre engine in the diesel version of the
Evoque delivers 380Nm torque for a power output of 150PS. Previously the
gasoline engine developed 240PS and 340Nm torque.
JaguarLandRover UK managing director, Jeremy Hicks
claims: “The Range Rover Evoque has been an enormous success in the UK with its
blend of bold design, luxury and compact versatility. Demand remains strong two
years after the start of production, and with the introduction of the
Autobiography Dynamic, customers have more choice and access to a new
heightened level of agility.”
Since its launch in 2011, the Range Rover Evoque has recorded
more than 270,000 sales worldwide, making it the fastest-selling Land Rover of
all time.
