2012 Range Rover Evoque
At the Paris Motor Show, Land Rover unveiled the 2012 Range Rover Evoque, which is intended for a new segment of the market. The Evoque is based on the LRX concept (that was displayed at the North American International Automobile Show in 2008). Powering the Evoque is a new 2.0l Si4 turbocharged engine with direct fuel injection and twin variable valve timing that produces 240 bhp.
The Evoque is quite different from the typical Range Rover but it does have many of the technologies that have propelled the brand to its current status. The vehicle utilizes a new Adaptive Dynamics technology that uses advanced MagneRide continuously variable dampers as it is capable of a wider operating range. This system allows for all-weather, all-surface capability, as it is boosted by the permanent all-wheel drive system with electronically-controlled Haldex center coupling.
Phil Popham, managing director of Land Rover, said: “The groundbreaking, all-new Range Rover Evoque takes the brand into exciting new territory. Highly relevant and contemporary, the Evoque will appeal to a whole new group of customers who may not have considered a Range Rover before." "For this highly distinctive product, we have chosen a distinctive name. The all-new Range Rover Evoque will be sold in over 160 countries worldwide and its name will be instantly recognisable across language and cultural boundaries throughout the world. Evoque implies exclusivity and arouses emotions, and has a sophisticated aura that matches the car’s urban elegance,” he added.
