2023 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2023 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque
2nd generation (2020-2023 pre-refresh), fourth model year before the 2024 update
Land Rover positions the Evoque as the compact luxury SUV for the city and beyond: style-led, upscale inside, easy to place in traffic, and more capable on rough roads than most fashion-first small luxury SUVs. Its core appeal is the mix of clean Range Rover design, a high-end cabin, standard AWD, and genuine all-weather confidence in a smaller footprint than a Velar or full-size Range Rover.
The 2023 Evoque lineup ranges from the straightforward P250 S to sport-styled R-Dynamic trims and better-equipped SE versions with Meridian audio and upgraded LED headlights. Most trims use a 246-hp turbocharged four-cylinder, while the blacked-out P300 R-Dynamic HST has a 296-hp mild-hybrid engine; every version has AWD and a nine-speed automatic transmission.
