About this generation

The size of the LRX concept vehicle complemented a wide array of efficiency-improving technologies in the form of Land Rover's e_Terrain technologies. These included biofuel compatibility, lightweight construction materials, and technologies such as the removable carbon composite roof panels, regenerative brakes, a stop-start system, along with the ERAD (electric rear axle drive) parallel hybrid powertrain system. The ERAD system could propel the LRX to speeds up to before the engine was started by an integrated starter generator as part of the stop-start system.

ERAD was designed to reduce emissions by an average of 20% under the NEDC test cycle and was expected to offer another 10% reduction in extra-urban driving situations while also optimizing the off-road ability of the vehicle. Land Rover aimed to achieve 120 g/km emissions and fuel economy of on the European combined cycle with an efficient 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine based on PSA DW12. The Evoque would become the only four-cylinder vehicle in the Range Rover lineup.

The Terrain Response system was also included offering sport and eco modes in addition to the existing grass, gravel, snow, and sand modes. Typical Land Rover design traits aim at improving off-road performance included a prominent driving position, hill descent control, and useful approach and departure angles. Land Rover's Range Rover styling was visually apparent in the form of the clamshell bonnet, the 'floating' roof, dual-pocket headlamps, and raked roof line.

Interior design improvements also changed in the LRX concept, though the interior of the production Evoque changed significantly from the concept LRX. Notable interior features in the LRX included ambient interior lighting that changed according to Terrain Response settings, and vehicle data that were presented to the driver through a 'floating' three-dimensional LCD. An aluminium centre console with an iPhone docking station stretched the length of the cabin, separating the four seats and the tailgate.

Seats with open frameworks were used to give the impression of an airy interior, while also creating useful under-seat and under-floor stowage areas. Electric motors folded the rear seats forward, providing enough room for two mountain bikes to be fitted upright, with front wheels removed and stored in dedicated slots in the floor. The car was launched as two distinct models (later three models for 2016): the five-door Evoque, the three-door Evoque Coupé, and the Convertible Evoque (launched as a June 2016 model).

The Coupé model was discontinued early in the 2016 model year, while the five-door and Convertible models remained in production until the 2018 model year. The production-model Evoque retained nearly identical bodywork from the LRX concept vehicle, including the cabin-length panoramic sun roof. No hybrid powertrain was offered for the L538 Range Rover Evoque. There were originally three trim levels available with each trim level having two variants as follows: — "Pure", "Pure Tech", "Prestige", "Prestige Lux", "Dynamic" and "Dynamic Lux".

Land Rover markets the Pure as the minimalist version rather than the "base model", while the Prestige adds luxury options and the Dynamic focuses more on performance. The Evoque uses unibody rather than body on frame construction, with a kerb weight of and an aluminium bonnet and roof, as well as a composite one-piece tailgate. The Evoque comes in 12 different body colours with three optional contrasting roof colours and five optional wheel choices, though Land Rover offers a "designers choice" of predetermined combinations on most models.

The Dynamic model incorporates more aggressive bodywork including a different front fascia and lowered suspension. The Evoque can be equipped with five exterior cameras. Three engine options were originally available for the Evoque: two 2.2-litre turbodiesels producing either ,, and a 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine.
