Range Rover Evoque

About :

The Range Rover Evoque is a Compact SUV from Land Rover, available in both three- and five-door versions, which went into production in July 2011. The Evoque is designed to appeal to urban buyers and meet requirements for lower CO₂ emissions and fuel economy. The production vehicle is very similar to the Land Rover LRX concept, which was unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in January 2008. The Evoque has been received positively by the automotive press for retaining the features, luxurious amenities, and off-road capabilities of a traditional Range Rover in a smaller, more city-friendly package. Land Rover sold nearly 88,000 units of the Evoque in its first year of production.

On 11 March 2009, the UK government announced a £27 million grant to Land Rover to produce an all-new model, subject to the conditions that the Evoque would be manufactured at its Halewood Body & Assembly facility in Liverpool. Phil Popham, Managing Director of Land Rover, announced the production of the Evoque by stating:

"Our engineering feasibility study has shown that we can very successfully deliver Range Rover levels of quality, drivability and breadth of performance in a more compact, more sustainable, package. Feedback from the most extensive customer research we have ever undertaken also fully supports our belief that a production version of the LRX Concept would further raise the desirability of our brand and absolutely meet all those expectations".
