The Luxurious model, boasting bold exteriors and a focus on sustainability, debuted at the Paris Motor Show.

The
Range Rover Evoque brings the acclaimed Land Rover’s LRX concept car into
production reality, faithfully capturing the original design of this landmark
cross-coupé concept.

In keeping with the ethos of Range Rover, the Evoque delivers premium
levels of craftsmanship, luxury, performance and renowned Land Rover
all-terrain capability into a shrink-wrapped more compact package.
“These are exciting times for our business,” said CEO Dr Ralf
Speth. “Not only will the Range Rover Evoque increase our worldwide market
share, it helps to define a new segment for premium compact SUVs that are more
sporting and stylish.”
Offering CO2 emissions sub 130g/km* and fuel economy of 58mpg* combined,
the Evoque is the lightest, most fuel-efficient Range Rover ever. It is a
strong demonstration of the marque’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
Lightweight construction techniques and the addition of a front-wheel
drive variant ensure optimum efficiency is achieved. A new range of
state-of-the-art petrol and diesel engines comes with direct injection and
stop-start. The Range Rover Evoque also adopts low CO2 systems such as Electric
Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) and is built to maximise end of life
recyclability.
The Range Rover Evoque’s dramatic exterior is based directly on the LRX
concept car, which drew worldwide acclaim for its fresh interpretation of
classic Range Rover design cues.
Smart design and meticulous engineering has allowed the LRX concept to
be turned into reality without compromising the core Range Rover values of
luxury, refined performance and all-terrain capability.
“The Evoque marks a bold evolution of Range Rover design.
With its dramatic rising beltline, a muscular shoulder running the length of
the car, and a distinctive taper to the floating roofline, the Range Rover
Evoque adopts a very dynamic profile with a powerful and athletic stance.”
said Land Rover Design Director, Gerry McGovern.

Drivers who take their Range Rover Evoque off-road will be reassured to
know that, in addition to extremely generous ground clearance, the car has
significantly better breakover, approach and departure angles than other
compact SUVs.
The Evoque will be the first Range Rover to offer customers a choice
between a full-time four-wheel-drive system, which delivers outstanding
performance and traction on all surfaces, and a low carbon, front-wheel-drive
option for further enhanced fuel economy.
