For 2016, the luxury British SUV gets slim-line LED fog-lamps and a wider tow-eye cover which is aimed to enhance the new front bumper design. The enlarged air intakes are designed to allude to the new Evoque’s sporting character and create a more planted stance and further emphasize the SUV’s assertive road presence.
Two new grille designs are available in a range of premium finishes. Evoque’s standard grille is distinguished by two bold horizontal bars and a new fine-mesh grille pattern. Dynamic derivative features a hexagonal design, and its more prominent mesh area lends a suitably performance-oriented character to this sporting derivative. The LED Day-time Running Lights (DRLs) have a new shape creating a distinctive signature which also serves as the directional indicator.

It allows customers to automatically open and close the tailgate by waving a foot beneath the rear bumper.
