The touchscreen behaves like a smartphone or tablet with swipe, pan and pinch to zoom controls and provides a clearer 21:9 super-wide format with 1280×542 pixel resolution – an 80% increase over the Evoque’s standard 8-inch touchscreen.

Introduced from launch on the Range Rover Evoque Convertible, the new  InControl Touch Pro infotainment is now available as an option in the 2017MY Range Rover Evoque Coupe and Five-door.

Apart from that, a new Graphite Design Pack also enhances the exterior of Range Rover Evoque HSE Dynamic and Autobiography derivatives with a host of subtle design changes. Unique 20-inch alloy wheels in Satin Technical Grey are complemented by the Dynamic grille in Narvik Black with a Satin Dorchester Grey Surround, while the tow eye outer covers front and rear sport the same grey tone. A black contrast roof, bonnet and tailgate lettering, darkened front and rear lights and Dynamic black exhaust finishers complete the look on HSE Dynamic models.

In addition, the flagship Autobiography model benefits from black detailing on the door mirror caps, bonnet louvres, foglight surrounds, fender vents and tailgate finisher to highlight Evoque’s exterior design trademarks.

Customers will also be able to choose from a wider palette of exterior body colours than before. The addition of Aruba, Farallon Black, Carpathian Grey and Silicon Silver premium metallic paint finishes takes the total number of colour options to 18.
