 Range Rover Evoque

  

 The All-New Range Rover Evoque - the smallest, lightest, most fuel-effecient Range Rover ever produced.

Sustainability.  Offering CO2 emmissions sub 150g/km, the Evoque demonstrates the marque's commitment to environmental sustainability. The  Range Rover Evoque will appeal to a new group of customers who may not have considered a Range Rover before. Lightweight construction ensure optimum efficiency is achieved with a new range of state-of-the-art petrol and diesel engines come with direct injection and stop-start.

Design. The Evoque's dramatic exterior is based directly on the LRX concept car. With its dramatic rising beltline, muscular shoulder running the length of the car, and a distinctive taper to the floating roofline, the Evoque adopts a very dynamic profile with a powerful and athletic stance.

 

Interior Quality. The cabin is lavishly appointed with premium quality materials and an elegance benefitting of a Range Rover interior.  It also features soft, premium and beautifully tailored, twin-needle stitching providing a luxurious finish to almost every surface of the instrument panel, doors and seats.  A lower driving position offers a more sporting feel but retains the important Command Driving Positon and despite the low-profile coupé roofline, headroom is generous compared with traditional sporting saloons.

Dynamics. On the open road the Evoque offers a polished driving experience combining dynamic and sporty handling.  The sporting character has not been achieved at the expense of comfort and refinement. Adaptive Dynamics uses advanced MagneRide™ dampers to provide a supple, controlled ride.

Capable off-road. In addition to extremely generous ground clearance, the car has significantly better breakover, approach and departure angles than other compact SUV's. The Evoques offering of full-time four -wheel drive system and formidable all-terrain potential is enhanced by the latest version of the company's signature Terrain Response™  system.

Powertrains. Customers can chose between a comprehensively updated 2.2-litre turbo-diesel derivative with 140kW or a new 177kW, 2.0-litre Si4 petrol engine which combines direct fuel injection, turbocharging and twin variable valve timing.

Innovation. An intuitive control system and touch-screen display combines a stylish, uncluttered layout, state-of-the-art functionality with class leading ease of use.  Other features also include Park Aid with rear camera; Full dual zone automatic climate control;  Hard drive navigation system; FM/AM/tuners with single slot CD player/MP3 disc and file compatibility; Rear seat entertainment package with 8-inch video screens, digital wireless headphones and touch screen remote control; keyless entry and powered tailgate; adaptive headlamps.

Two design themes. Namely:
 'Prestige' - is the ultimate in Range Rover luxury, combining bespoke exterior that includes unique 19-inch wheels and sparkling metallic details with an interior that is almost entirely leather-wrapped.
'Dynamic' - brings a bolder exterior with 20-inch wheels and unique bumpers, sills, grille and tailpipes for more assertive confident stance.  Contrasting roof and spoiler colours are available, while the premium sports interior offers sports seats with splashes of bright contrast colour.
