Locally assembled Range Rover Evoque launched at Rs 48.73 lakh

Jaguar-Land Rover has added another model to its locally assembled vehicle portfolio in India. We broke the story way back at the Auto Expo 2014 that the Range Rover Evoque is JLR’s next product in line for local assembly.

The three-door Evoque is only available in the top-end Dynamic trim with a 237bhp 2.0-litre turbo-petrol motor while the five-door SUV is offered in three trims — Pure, Prestige and Dynamic — and with a 2.2-litre common-rail turbo-diesel engine. Both engines come mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox.

The Evoque is JLR’s fourth offering to be locally assembled in India after the Jaguar XF, the Jaguar XJ and the Land Rover Freelander SUV. Added equipment on the locally assembled Evoque includes a navigation system, front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera (standard on all trims).

The 2015 Range Rover Evoque prices (ex-showroom Mumbai) are as below:

Range Rover Evoque SD4 5 Door Pure: Rs 48.73 lakh
Range Rover Evoque SD4 5 Door Dynamic: Rs 52.40 Lakh
Range Rover Evoque SD4, 5 Door Prestige: Rs 56.21 lakh

	OLD PRICES	NEW PRICES
Pure	54.93 lakh	48.73 lakh
Dynamic	64.20 lakh	52.40 lakh
Prestige	65.04 lakh	56.21 lakh

A mid-cycle facelift for the Evoque was recently showcased at the Geneva motor show 2015 but JLR is only expected to bring that model to our market later.

2018 Lamborghini Urus India review, test drive

On first introduction, it’s a recipe for intimidation. It’s claimed to be the fastest SUV in the world (0-100kph in 3.6sec and a top speed of 305kph puts it nearly in supercar territory), and it’s made by Lamborghini – creator of some of the most savage vehicles on the market. Things – as with any Lamborghini, for that matter – would be a lot less daunting if we were driving on a smooth European country road, a wide motorway, or even a race track. But today we’re driving the Urus on a narrow ghat road, as well as through some heavy Pune traffic. Perhaps the intention was to demonstrate that this is the first Lamborghini ever to go on sale in India that truly works in our conditions – but still, I doubt they accounted for rush hour. It’s requisitely mad to look at, employing as many ‘sporty’ design tropes to an SUV body style as possible – the only thing missing is a massive wing on the back; and somehow, it works. It’s ...

Skoda Vision RS concept previews new hatchback

Skoda has set the stage for its forthcoming Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus rival with the Vision RS, a concept car that features a performance plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain. Under the sporty details and concept flourishes, the Vision RS bears a close resemblance to the Rapid hatchback that will be introduced next year. The fact that it has been previewed in vRS form, complete with 245hp PHEV powertrain, shows how much further upmarket the new Rapid will go compared with the current value-led model. Skoda product marketing chief Björn Kroll said: “The current Rapid is too low-market. For this one, we have tried to balance it out.” Skoda will drop the slow-selling liftback version and concentrate on the Spaceback hatch for the new Rapid. At 4,356mm, the concept is just over 50mm longer than the current Rapid, and it has a 440-litre boot that's up by 25 litres. The concept retains some of the current Rapid’s des...

What to avoid during a car service

When it comes to getting their cars serviced at authorised outlets, owners usually go the whole hog. They want their cars coming out of service centres looking brand new, and are willing to pay for it. But do service centres take undue advantage of this? Yes, they do. Servicing may involve changing certain parts and oils after a set interval, but service centres will almost always try to plug in a few extras using technical jargon that a layman may not really understand. Certain processes are completely unnecessary, and customers end up paying extra as they are not aware of what's important and what's not. Also, most of the times, the service associate will throw you a hard sales pitch, and it's not always done with your best interests in mind. So what exactly are the things you don’t really need and should avoid? Engine flushing Flushing an engine simply means cleaning the impure oil and gunk that ...
