The New Edition to the Range Rover family is the smallest, lightest and most fuel efficient Range Rover ever produced. This model has been positioned as a more sporting and more expensive car that will slot under the Range Rover Sport. This spectacular Evoque model will be available not only as a four- door but as a two- door. The interior design will also take some inspiration from previous models, with typical Range Rover cues of strong ‘structural’ lines in the dash, intersected by straight lines of the centre stack. With 20- inch wheels and styling that eschews typical SUV tough- guy’s cues such as faux skidplates.

Land Rover has announced that for Europe at least, there will be a front- drive version of the vehicle making it the first two-wheel-drive Land Rover in history. The diesel version, which is expected to employ a stop- start feature, will reportedly achieve Fuel Economy similar to a base Mini Cooper.

This vehicle will reach speeds of 0-60mph in 10.6 seconds, having built there lightest diesel engine ever. The 2.2 litre 150hp eD4 has been engineered to deliver quieter, more refined performance. It also contributes to Range Rover’s best fuel economy figures and CO2 emissions of sub 130g/km for the 2WD coupe. Thanks to the extensive use of lightweight materials, the five- door version of the Evoque tips the scales at just 3,890 pounds. But the Evoque is aluminium and Boron- each vehicle is also fitted with 35 pounds of recycled plastics. As in the three-door, the five’s powertrain will be a 2.0-liter turbocharged direct-injection four-cylinder making about 240 hp paired with full-time all-wheel drive. Dimensionally, the Evoque twins are the same except that the five-door is about one inch taller and rear-seat passengers get about two more inches of shoulder room in the more-spacious back seat.

This high performance Evoque has a starting price from £27,995. WOW!
