Range Rover Evoque may get regular updates instead of mid-life facelift

The Range Rover Evoque crossover may get regular updates instead of a mid-life facelift. The company’s design chief Gerry McGovern confirmed that the move is currently being discussed at JLR and might become a new way of updating their products.

He said that the company is considering changing the existing industry practice of mid-life facelifts and give the Evoque (and future models) not only design updates but technical changes as well as others factors like materials used in construction of the vehicle.

Speaking to Autocar UK, McGovern also confirmed that newer derivatives of the Evoque would be launched in the future and hinted at a Sport version of the Evoque.  The latest update for the Evoque that Land Rover has given is a new ZF nine-speed gearbox.
