One of the most hotly anticipated models set for 2016 release is the Range Rover Evoque convertible, but it’s not the only Evoque model set to hit the market. Land Rover are introducing the ‘Ember’ Edition featuring a package of enhancements whilst featuring a prominent red and black theme.
The red and black themed ‘Ember’ Special Edition builds on the attributes of the Range Rover Evoque HSE Dynamic with striking exterior and interior details. A distinctive Firenze Red roof contrasts with the Santorini Black body colour and is complemented by matching exterior design elements, including the front and rear tow eye covers.
The addition of unique ‘EVOQUE’ tailgate badging in black, with a silver surround, and Narvik Black ‘RANGE ROVER’ lettering on the bonnet gives the Special Edition further definition. Black Pack elements including Satin Black 20-inch alloy wheels, Dynamic black exhaust finishers, Dynamic Narvik Black grille and darkened front and rear lights give the Ember a more purposeful appearance.
The ‘Ember’ theme continues inside, with Ebony Black seats sporting a contrasting Pimento Red stitch, complemented by black and red premium carpet mats and Gloss Black trim finishes.
A new Graphite Design Pack enhances the exterior of Range Rover Evoque 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, Dynamic black exhaust finishers and black detailing on the door mirror caps, bonnet louvres, foglight surrounds, fender vents and tailgate finisher complete the look. The Graphite Design Pack will retail for £2,125 in the UK.
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.
The new 2017 model year Range Rover Evoque also offers next-generation InControl Touch Pro infotainment across the range, providing a 10.2-inch tablet-style pinch and zoom touchscreen control and a customisable home screen to ensure customers’ favourite apps are always at their fingertips. Introduced from launch on the Range Rover Evoque Convertible, this now becomes available from 2017 model year and is standard for HSE Dynamic, HSE Dynamic Lux and Autobiography.
Using the Land Rover Route Planner smartphone app, destinations can be pre-planned and synced to the vehicle ready for easy selection. Touch Pro also offers door-to-door navigation even after parking handing over to the Route Planner phone app to display public transport and pedestrian directions to the final destination. In Control Touch Pro can share customers’ ETA with friends and family and if the driver is running later than expected, Touch Pro can automatically keep them informed by sending updates via SMS.
