The new Evoque is also available with a 2.2-litre petrol engine that will get the car from 0-62mph in 7.6 seconds. The extra power of the 178bhp version means economy is slightly worse at 59mpg and emissions of 125g/km of CO2. The lesser-powered version is the one delivering the headline figures it’s 18% more efficient than the Evoque’s previous engines, promising 68mpg and CO2 emissions of 109g/km, for road tax of £20 per year.

It’s the first engine from Jaguar Land Rover’s new £500m facility in Wolverhampton and will be available with either 148bhp or 178bhp. It’s the launch of the new 2.0-litre TD4 diesel engine in the Evoque that’s the most eye-catching aspect of the new model. Updates to the interior include new seats, a new eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a selection of fresh trim colours. On the outside, the design of the 2016 Evoque represents evolution rather than revolution, with a modified grille, a redesigned front bumper, new alloy wheels and a fully adaptive LED headlight design setting the car apart from its predecessor. A quick crunch of the projected running costs suggests the new Evoque could be around £3,700 cheaper to own over three years than the outgoing model, despite costing £2,500 more to buy initially. The gains in efficiency are largely thanks to a new 2.0-litre diesel engine that Land Rover says will deliver as much as 68mpg. The facelifted car is priced from £30,200 in entry-level SE spec. The revamped Range Rover Evoque is on sale and has become the most economical model ever produced by Land Rover.
