The Range Rover Evoque has been on the market for
nearly six years so it comes as little surprise the company is already working
on the next-generation model.
According to Auto Express, the redesigned Evoque
will debut next fall with an evolutionary design that borrows a number of
styling cues from the new Range Rover Velar. Nothing is official at this point
but speculation suggests the model will be equipped with a more prominent
grille and flush-mounted door handles. The roofline could also be raised to
improve rear seat headroom as well as provide a little extra cargo capacity.
The Evoque will reportedly ride on an updated
version of the D8 platform and feature a wheelbase that has been stretched by
approximately 80mm (3.1 inches). The decision to use the aging platform could
have consequences as the publication reports the architecture might not be able
to accommodate a hybrid powertrain.
While a hybrid might be out of the question, the
model will reportedly be offered with a handful of Ingenium engines. The petrol
variants will reportedly have outputs of 247 hp and 296 hp,
while the diesels are slated to develop 148 hp, 178 hp, and
237 hp.
