The latest addition to the Range Rover family has been unveiled at an exclusive preview in London for guests attending a 40th birthday celebration of Range Rover.
Named the Range Rover Evoque, this all-new coupé stays true to the stunning LRX Concept Car of 2008 and will be the smallest, lightest and most fuel efficient Range Rover ever produced. The compact 4WD Range Rover Evoque is engineered to meet North American customer and regulatory demands for increased fuel efficiency in highly capable luxury SUVs. In fact, the Evoque boasts sub 130g/km of CO 2 emissions and showcases the brand's continuing commitment to environmental sustainability.
"The all-new Range Rover Evoque will be built at our multi-award winning plant in Halewood, creating 1,000 new jobs in the Merseyside area, a fantastic boost to the UK economy. The Halewood plant has a reputation for excellence and quality and is recognized throughout the industry as a leader in Lean Manufacturing." said Phil Popham, managing director of Land Rover.
Range Rover has remained true to the spirit of the original LRX Concept car first revealed in Detroit in 2008. Gerry McGovern, Land Rover design director, said:
"It marks a bold evolution of Range Rover design, providing customers with a desirable, premium and coupé like SUV. In 2008 we introduced the LRX concept car: after a positive reception worldwide, the natural step for the business was to turn the concept into reality."
The Range Rover Evoque will make its official public debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show on 30 September and is scheduled to go on sale - in North America - in the third quarter of 2011.
