The 2025 Range Rover Evoque Autobiography is a new luxury compact SUV in India. It is the top-end version of the Evoque line. In April 2025, JLR India launched the Evoque Autobiography in India at a price of Rs 69.50 lakh (ex-showroom) for both petrol and diesel models. This new Autobiography replaces the older Dynamic SE trim and adds many premium features. The Evoque is assembled in India (as a CKD) and aims to offer a luxury experience in a smaller package.
The exterior design of the 2025 Evoque Autobiography looks bold and modern. It has a sharp front end with Pixel LED headlights and signature daytime running lights for a distinctive look. The “Range Rover” lettering on the bonnet and a sporty grille give it a premium face. The Autobiography adds unique copper-finished badges on the bonnet and tailgate, setting it apart from lower trims. The Evoque rides on 18-inch alloy wheels and has a panoramic sliding sunroof that adds light to the cabin. Overall, it looks more upscale than many rival compact SUVs.
Engine and Performance
The Evoque Autobiography is powered by two 2.0-litre turbocharged engines, both with mild-hybrid tech. The petrol engine makes about 250 hp and 365 Nm of torque. It can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in roughly 7.6 seconds. The diesel engine produces about 204 hp and 430 Nm of torque. Both engines are paired with a smooth 9-speed automatic gearboxand standard all-wheel drive (AWD). This setup gives the Evoque good traction on all roads and even off-road.
Fuel economy is average for its class. The petrol variant returns around 12.8 kmpl in real conditions. Expect slightly better fuel efficiency from the diesel (around 14 kmpl), but exact figures can vary. The Evoque feels quick and refined on the road. It has hill descent control and a capable suspension, so it can handle rough roads and light off-roading as well. Overall, performance is strong and matches its premium image.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, the Evoque Autobiography is very plush and modern. It features Windsor leather seats with large cushioned surfaces. Buyers can choose from “Cloud” (light) or “Ebony” (dark) coloured leather. The seats are heated and power-adjustable, and there is memory function for the driver’s seat. The dash and doors have extra leather and a quilted design. A suedecloth headliner on the roof liner adds a soft touch.
The cabin is packed with technology. A large 11.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system sits in the centre, running Land Rover’s latest software. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smartphone connectivity. The digital driver’s display is also fully configurable. A highlight is the Meridian sound system: a powerful 650W 14-speaker audio setup provides very clear music. Other comforts include dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient lighting, and ample storage. The Autobiography has a panoramic sunroof that slides open, filling the cabin with light. Overall, the interior feels upscale and comfortable for

Exterior and Design
The new Evoque keeps its sporty, coupe-like silhouette. It is 4371 mm long and 2681 mm wide. The ground clearance is 212 mm, which is good for driving over speed bumps or light trails. At the back, the taillights are full-width and also use LED graphics. The roof is slightly sloped, giving it a fastback look. Even the door handles are flush when not in use, which gives the sides a clean look.
Safety and visibility features outside include a surround 360-degree camera and parking sensors. The Autobiography model specifically adds tinted privacy glass and optional larger wheels. Overall, the design is both modern and practical, with Range Rover cues like the bold nameplate and strong wheel arches.
Technology and Safety
The Evoque Autobiography is loaded with tech features. In addition to the touchscreen and audio, it has wireless charging for phones and multiple USB ports. The digital dash can show navigation and driving data. For driver assistance, it offers cruise control and lane keep assist. The safety features are comprehensive:
- 7 airbags: front, side, curtain, and knee airbags protect all passengers.
- Anti-lock Braking (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control, and Brake Assist keep the car stable in emergencies.
- TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring), Hill Descent Control, and speed-sensing auto door locks add convenience.
- ISO-FIX child seats and seatbelt pretensioners are included.
Thanks to these systems, the Evoque scores highly on crash safety. It has features like a rear-view camera with guidelines, and optional driver aids like blind-spot monitoring. All in all, safety-wise it is on par with other luxury SUVs.
Pricing and Availability in India
The 2025 Range Rover Evoque Autobiography is now available across Land Rover dealerships in India. The official ex-showroom price in Delhi is ₹69.50 lakh for both petrol and diesel versions. On-road price (with tax and insurance) comes to about ₹80 lakh in Delhi, though this varies by city.
This pricing places the Evoque Autobiography in the premium SUV segment. It is priced higher than compact rivals, but lower than bigger luxury SUVs. For example, the larger Mercedes GLC or BMW X3 are much more expensive. Land Rover aims for customers who want Range Rover styling and luxury in a smaller size. The Evoque is offered as a single high-end trim (Autobiography); Land Rover no longer sells the lower Dynamic SE trim in India.
Competition
In India, the Evoque Autobiography competes with premium compact SUVs like the Audi Q3, BMW X1, and Mercedes-Benz GLA. However, it is often more expensive than these rivals.
- Audi Q3: Priced around ₹45–56 lakh (ex-showroom) depending on trims. It offers a smooth ride and good tech, but the Evoque Autobiography has a larger body, more powerful engine, and more luxury fittings.
- BMW X1: Priced around ₹49–53 lakh (ex-showroom). It offers smaller engines compared to the Evoque but comes with BMW’s new curved display setup and a sporty ride. The Evoque feels more powerful and luxurious.
- Mercedes-Benz GLA: Starts from about ₹51.75 lakh to ₹58.15 lakh (ex-showroom). It is nimble and stylish, but less powerful than the Evoque and not as off-road capable.
In short, the Evoque is pricier but offers more of a ‘Range Rover experience’ than these German rivals.
