Land Rover Range Rover Evoque in short
The Evoque is the entry point to Range Rover ownership in India, sold since its 2024 facelift in a single fully-loaded Autobiography trim at ₹64.86 lakh — with petrol and diesel identically priced. That one-trim, one-price approach makes it the simplest luxury SUV purchase in the segment. Prices are from Land Rover India's official pan-India list. Rivals are the Mercedes GLA, BMW X1 and Volvo XC40 territory, all of which it out-badges if not out-specs.

At the other end sits the ₹66.15 lakh JCW Countryman ALL4: a 300 hp 2.0L turbo with all-wheel drive, the fastest MINI on sale in India.
