April 18, 2011 - PRLog -- After what feels like forever, the Land Rover LRX Concept has finally come out of it's shell and evolved into something magnificent, and they're calling it the Range Rover Evoque.

The three door and five door models share their platform with the Land Rover LR2, and will be available in three trim levels: the neutral Pure, the luxurious Prestige and the more brightly colored Dynamic.

Phil Popham said, “The launch of the Range Rover Evoque is a significant step forward for the Range Rover brand. This groundbreaking car brings new excitement and broader relevance to the brand, but remains true to the values of premium luxury and performance which have made Range Rover such an enduring success story over the past 40 years.”

Pure-
"A striking design combined with a beautiful, contemporary interior showcases the pure lines of the cabin architecture. A soft-touch wrapped finish throughout contrasts with the real-metal brushed aluminum trim."

Prestige-
"The ultimate in Range Rover luxury, combining an enhanced exterior with unique 19 inch wheels and dramatic bright finish details. The sumptuous interior is almost entirely swathed in twin-needle stitched leather. Hand-polished real wood and metal finishes are crafted to complement the wide choice of unique colors."

Dynamic-
"A bold sports exterior with 19 inch wheels, unique bumpers, sills, grille and tailpipes immediately creates a more assertive, athletic stance. Inside unique sports detailing provides a dynamic, premium environment."

Both the three and five door models will come with a six-speed automatic transmission, and it's power will come from a 240-horsepower, 2L four-cylinder turbocharged engine, which will get our new Rover from zero to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds, while greatly improving fuel economy over any other Rover. It also offers electric power-assisted steering, adaptive dynamics with MagneRide dampers and the company's off-roading Terrain Response system. Murray Dietsch, Director of Land Rover Programs was noted saying: “The five-door Range Rover Evoque has the same sporting character as the Coupe. We have focused on ensuring that the car is agile and fun to drive, so that customers have a rewarding experience, even in day-to-day urban driving. Advanced technologies such as MagneRide mean we can ensure that this dynamic prowess does not come at the cost of top-quality refinement or comfort.” The Evoque can be built with the option for a sophisticated Adaptive Dynamics system, which uses those advanced MagneRide™ dampers to provide you with an enhanced balance of confident, nimble handling with a supple, controlled ride. This kind of suspension delivers even tighter body control with flatter handling and sharper responses than ever. Drivers who take their Range Rover Evoque off-road will be reassured to know that, in addition to generous ground clearance, the car has aggressive breakover and departure angles.

It will come with a full-size panoramic glass roof, providing plenty of light and airy ambiance inside the cabin. And it should help make it feel bigger too - which may seem important to some enthusiasts for a vehicle that's a full 17 inches shorter than the Range Rover Sport. The interior is available with beautiful twin-needle-stitched premium leather to dress the instrument panel, doors and seats. There's also an 8 inch touchscreen display, audio streaming and Bluetooth connectivity. The audio system is going to be a 17-speaker Meridian setup that puts out 825 watts of power. That's right, we said Meridian. Range Rover's new partnership with such a well renowned sound specialist has consumers jumping for joy, as this will be the first Meridian-designed setup in any Range Rover. Other options include a hard-drive based navigation system, 360-degree view Surround Camera System and a rear-seat entertainment package with twin 8 inch screens.

The driver adopts a lower seating position than in one of the larger Range Rover models, offering a more sporting feel but retaining the important Command Driving Position, while the rear seats, with seat belts and head restraints for three passengers, have 60/40 folding rear seats and are equipped with LATCH child seat mounts.

The five door extends the appeal of the crossover-style Range Rover Evoque by offering more flexibility and interior space than the three door coupe. However, it still sits on the same platform, without any increase in overall width or length, but only a small height increase, making it 1.8 inches taller. The driver adopts a lower seating position than in one of the larger Range Rover models, offering a more sporting feel but still retaining the important Command Driving Position. The rear seating, with seat belts and head restraints for three passengers, has 60/40 folding seats and they are equipped with LATCH child seat mounts. Rear seat passengers also benefit from over 1.97 inches more shoulder room, along with generous headroom - which compares very favorably to traditional sporting sedans. When required, luggage capacity can be expanded to hold a substantial 51 cubic feet.

The Range Rover Evoque seamlessly delivers all of the core Range Rover values of luxury, prestige, refined performance and multi-terrain capability while still remaining true to it's maker's dream of the LRX Concept design. The 2012 Range Rover Evoque will be the smallest, lightest and most fuel-efficient Rover ever produced. The new vehicle’s sustainability credentials stem from a comprehensive approach to reducing its environmental impact throughout the product life-cycle, from development and manufacturing, all the way through to customer use and end-of-life recycling. International versions will offer several engine/transmission combinations, as well as a choice between front and all-wheel drive.
