Land Rover, the renowned premium SUVs maker has finally released the official details and images of the production 2012 Range Rover Evoque. Scheduled for public debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show on 30th September 2010, the newly styled compact SUV represents a completely new design approach among the British brand's present rides, fitting together all their best qualities - craftsmanship, luxury, performance and all-terrain capability - into a smaller and more efficient package.
On the outside, the 2012 Range Rover Evoque showcases an extremely staggering contemporary styling fully based upon the LRX concept car.
Land Rover design director, Gerry McGovern, shares: "The Evoque marks a bold evolution of Range Rover design. With its dramatic rising beltline, a muscular shoulder running the length of the car, and a distinctive taper to the floating roofline, the Range Rover Evoque adopts a very dynamic profile with a powerful and athletic stance."
Inside the cabin, the new era compact SUV is a real seducer. Benefiting from top-end materials, the ride can provide its passengers with the most luxurious leather finish to almost every surface of the instrument panel, doors and seats. The cabin also highlights a lower driving position, emphasizing Evoque's sporty nature.
