Range Rover Evoque first details

Here’s the video of the presentation of the actual new car itself, the Range Rover Evoque. It looks like the company celebrated its 40 years in style, and the Evoque is a smooth, sexy effort from the company that probably hasn’t had any input so far by the former Miss Posh Spice.

Getting away from Range Rover cashing in on a celebrity splash (something it should have avoided perhaps - it won’t have done itself any favours among Range Rover fans or serious car purchasers), the Evoque is a compact SUV which is the production version of the LRX Concept. It [...]

Arden Range Rover AR7 Highlander
