In terms of exterior design, the vehicle gets a refreshed fascia with a new bumper, all-LED headlamps, two new grille designs (depending on the variant), LED foglamps, and new spoiler. The 5-door model now gets bonnet vents, like the 3-door coupe version, while three new alloy wheel design round up the changes.

On the inside, the Evoque facelift gets new seats and interior trim. There's also an inclusion of the 6-speaker, 8-inch InControl Touch touchscreen infotainment system, which apart from doing the regular infotainment duties also allows users to stream their smartphone screen onto the system's display.

The InControl Touch Plus offers a pair of 8-inch screens at the rear along with a 11- or 17-speaker configuration.

The 2.0L diesel engine will be available in two states of tune: 180 PS or 150 PS, the latter being 18 per cent more efficient than the previous diesel unit. The lesser powered engines which offer better efficiency will be branded with a blue Evoque badge.
