Land Rover has launched the BS-VI compliant petrol versions of the Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport SUVs with a mild-hybrid system, priced at Rs 57.99 lakh and Rs 59.99 lakh respectively (ex-showroom).
Both the SUVs are powered by the same Ingenium 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that produces 184 kW and 365 Nm of torque supported by a 48-volt mild hybrid system. The Evoque and Discovery Sport are underpinned by the new Premium Transverse Architecture that accommodates the mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) powertrain. The always-on self-charging hybrid system uses a 46.2-volt Lithium-Ion battery and a synchronous claw pole rotor, and assists in the reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. It uses an engine-mounted belt-integrated starter-generator that prevents loss of energy during deceleration, recovers it and stores it in an under-floor battery.
The Range Rover Evoque and New Discovery Sport are available in feature-rich S and sportier R-Dynamic SE variants.
Commenting on the launch of the SUVs, Rohit Suri, President & Managing Director, Jaguar Land Rover India Ltd (JLRIL), said that the Evoque and Discovery Sport have been tremendously successful in India and with the new BS-VI petrol powertrain, the company is happy to provide its customers with enhanced choice.
The new Range Rover Evoque and Discovery Sport come equipped with the latest technologies. These include Cabin Air Ionisation that works with the climate control system to remove pollutants and other harmful particles; ClearSight Rear-view Mirror that displays a camera feed of rear of the vehicle; InControl Touch Pro with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support and Touch Pro Duo system that combines an adjustable upper touchscreen with a lower touchscreen; Terrain Response 2 that offers enhanced off-road capabilities by automatically detecting the surface and adjusting the torque delivery.
