All engine options on the S can be had with the R-Dynamic sports body kit for $1680. There is an extensive options list to further customize your S from there.

Standard equipment on the S includes 18-inch alloy wheels, a 10-inch multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support as well as built-in sat nav, leather interior with 10-way electrically adjustable front seats, manually adjustable climate control, a six-speaker stereo, auto-dimming rear view mirror, LED headlights, a reversing camera as well as front and rear parking sensors.

The new Evoque range carries a maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating and has auto emergency braking (AEB), lane keep assist (LKAS) and traffic sign recognition as standard.

Other safety items can be optionally added, but for the most comprehensive suite the ‘Driver Assist Pack’ bundles blind-spot monitoring (BSM), rear cross traffic alert (RCTA), higher-speed auto emergency braking and adaptive cruise control together. The pack costs $2840 on the S.

All Evoques also have front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and ISOFIX child-seat mounting points on the outboard rear seats.
