For those after a compact 4x4 with the stature and sophistication of something far grander, the Range Rover Evoque D200 Autobiography presents a convincing case. And when finished in Carpathian Grey with Ebony extended Windsor leather and the optional privacy glass upgrade, it makes that case emphatically. Carpathian Grey is one of those colours that quietly does the heavy lifting – dark and brooding in low light, rich and metallic in full sun. Paired with the Evoque’s taut, coupe-like proportions, it gives the car a purposeful, near-concept-like aesthetic. The upgraded privacy glass sharpens the silhouette further, delivering an added touch of discretion and class. Under the bonnet sits Land Rover’s 2.0-litre Ingenium mild-hybrid diesel, offering 201bhp and a broad spread of torque through a nine-speed automatic gearbox. It’s smooth, refined, and well-matched to the Evoque’s laid-back but assured character – with four-wheel drive standard, naturally. Inside, the Autobiography trim leaves little to want. The Ebony interior, finished in extended Windsor leather, brings a sense of quiet luxury – soft-touch materials, clean lines, and a properly premium feel. It’s clear Land Rover hasn’t skimped on tactility here. Everything you interact with has a weight and precision that speaks to the Evoque’s upmarket billing. Standard kit is generous: Pivi Pro infotainment, digital driver display, heated and ventilated seats, and a suite of driver assistance tech all come as part of the package. But more than just a box-ticking exercise, this is a compact 4x4 that feels genuinely special to sit in and to drive. The D200 Autobiography doesn’t shout. It doesn’t need to. It’s confident, composed, and effortlessly stylish – a Range Rover through and through, just scaled to suit the city.
