Land Rover is introducing the Autobiography name to the Range Rover Evoque for the first time, with the more powerful, more agile Autobiography Dynamic, featuring a 281bhp turbocharged engine and optimised chassis for enhanced performance and sharper handling.
The Autobiography Dynamic derivative sees the Evoque’s 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine upgraded to 281bhp and 295lb/ft.
Active driveline is optional on all Range Rover Evoque derivatives and comes as standard equipment on the Autobiography Dynamic.
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.
Enhancing Land Rover’s existing suite of connected-car technologies, Land Rover InControl Apps also debuts across the range. In a world first, InControl Apps enables vehicle-optimised smartphone apps to be displayed and controlled with their original look and feel from the vehicle’s touchscreen. Owners simply download Land Rover InControl Apps to their smartphone and connect it to the vehicle’s dedicated USB port to enable compatible apps to function on the Range Rover Evoque’s touchscreen, with new content available every time the apps update.
This new in-car technology complements the Evoque’s existing infotainment system by bringing the convenience and familiarity of iPhone or Android smartphone apps into the owner’s vehicle.
