Land Rover has taken the wraps off the Range Rover Evoque Autobiography Dynamic model ahead of the official world premiere at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show next month.
The Autobiography Dynamic makes a bold design statement with enhanced dynamic body styling, a new premium grille design, lower front valance, jewel-like headlights and tail lamps as well as 20-inch forged alloy wheels. Apart from that, the Autobiography Dynamic gets Autobiography badges and a unique Phoenix Orange paint finish.
Inside, there’s a choice of six leather trim colours, along with the option of sports or premium climate control seats.
The Evoque is powered by an upgraded version of the existing 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine developing 281bhp and 400Nm of torque, an increase of 44bhp and 60Nm. The 9-speed ZF auto gearbox has also been recalibrated for a sportier drive, even when you’re just using the automatic Drive mode.
Further increasing driver enjoyment, the steering of the Autobiography Dynamic has been specially tuned for additional on-centre precision; the chassis also features upgraded suspension geometry, firmer spring rates and recalibrated adaptive dampers, increasing agility and turn-in response. This has been achieved without impacting on the Range Rover Evoque’s compliant ride quality.
To ensure drivers can fully experience the Autobiography Dynamic’s optimised performance, upgraded 350mm front brake discs have been fitted, while Torque Vectoring by Braking (TVB) is standard equipment. TVB helps to reduce understeer on low- and high-grip surfaces, providing more responsive handling characteristics.
The Autobiography Dynamic will be the first to feature a specially designed app called InControl. These are specially designed apps that enables vehicle-optimised smartphone apps to be displayed and controlled from the vehicle’s touchscreen. Owners can simply download Land Rover InControl Apps to their smartphone and connect it to the vehicles’ dedicated USB port to enable compatible apps to function on the Range Rover Evoque’s touchscreen.
