“Range Rover is the luxury, Land Rover is versatility and practicality. Evoque helped us to define our brand and establish how it is positioned. That says a lot about where the Range Rover can go in the future. In terms of historical, Land Rover is known for developing new market segments, or at least change the direction of Land Rover models. Think of the first Range Rover, the Range Rover Sport or Freelandar. We are optimistic that they will do the same thing with Evoque,” said Phil Propham, Land Rover boss.
Range Rover Evoque is offered with three exterior trims.These are called Pure,Prestige and Dynamic.The Pure version represents a minimalist approach of the design and uses mostly natural colors and shining metal ornaments.The Prestige version has a special interior and in the exterior gets 19 inch alloy wheels.The Dynamic is created for customers that want a redesigned body kit and 19 or 20 inch wheels coupled with a sporty interior.It appears that Victoria Beckham was involved in the design development.For Evoque's suspension Range Rover uses the Magnet Ride system,this car having the possibility to adjust its ride while cruising at considerable speed.The engine is a four cylinder 2.2 L that produces 150 or 190 HP.The front wheel traction version with a diesel 2.2 L engine gets 48 Mpg Range Rover claims and releases less that 130 grams of CO2 into the atmosphere.
