Making its European debut at this week’s Essen Motor Show is the Startech tuning program for the new Range Rover Evoque. Startech, which is a sub-division of the Brabus brand, first revealed its take on the British crossover model at the Dubai International Motor Show earlier this month.
Rather than improve its off-road capabilities, the German tuning company says that all of the available upgrades for the three- and five-door variants of the Evoque were developed to make the crossover more capable on the road where it will spend if not all, most of its time.
The product lineup includes a new front apron, a roof wing and a rear apron that houses a diffuser and the reshaped quad tail pipes. The crossover model’s sportier stance is further enhanced with suspension kit that lowers the ride height by up to 30mm (1.2-inches) and custom-tailored alloy wheels offered in various color combos and 20- or 22-inch diameters.
There’s a lot going on inside as Startech’s comprehensive program comprises of a sport steering wheel, aluminum pedals, foot rest and shifter, leather upholstery for the seats and door panels, Alcantara trim for the headliner and wood or carbon-fiber trim sets.
Startech said that a performance kit for the 2.0-liter SI4 gasoline engine that normally produces 240-horses is in the final stages of development, while the tuner will introduce a power kit for the diesel engine as well.
