“The Range Rover Evoque will appeal to a new group of customers who may not have considered a Range Rover before,” said Land Rover”s Managing Director Phil Popham.
Power for the Range Rover Evoque comes from a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged Ford EcoBoost (only it’s not called EcoBoost) making 240-hp mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. In Europe, the Range Rover Evoque will be available with a 2.2L turbodiesel with output ranging from 148-hp to 187-hp. The Evoque will also get Adaptive Dynamics featuring MagneRide, which delivers an all-new chassis specification for agile handling along with all-weather, all-surface capability with Land Rover Terrain Response.
The Range Rover Evoque will be sold in 160 countries worldwide, with deliveries to start from fall 2011. Prices in Europe will start £30,000 ($39,893 USD) / 35,000 ($46,542 USD). U.S. pricing will be announced closer to launch.
