• New interior finish with yellow contrast stitching and unique yellow horizontal finisher
• Debut of the new Black Design Pack for Range Rover Evoque Dynamic derivatives

Whitley, UK, January 10, 2013 ‑ The Range Rover Evoque is gearing up for spring with the Sicilian Yellow Special Edition model which makes its debut at the Brussels Motor Show on 10 January. Based on the 2013 Evoque Dynamic derivative, the Special Edition sports a number of unique features giving it a truly striking appearance. Orders are being taken now with deliveries beginning in May.

The Range Rover Evoque has asserted itself as Land Rover's most desirable model, selling in excess of 100,000 vehicles in its first full year with sales continuing to show rapid growth worldwide. The new Sicilian Yellow Special Edition offers customers highly desirable styling features which will build on the Evoque's success and reinforce its global appeal.

Available in coupé and 5‑door, customers can choose from two exterior colour schemes, each one unique to the Special Edition model and based on a new Black Design Pack. Choices include a Sicilian Yellow exterior body finish with a Santorini Black contrast roof, or a Santorini Black exterior body finish with a Sicilian Yellow contrast roof and door mirrors. Unique interior finishes include yellow contrast stitching on seats, central storage area, door trims and fascia mid‑section, plus an anodised yellow horizontal finisher.

This special edition model debuts the Black Design Pack which will be available independently of the Special Edition from April 2013. The Black Design Pack will be available exclusively on Dynamic models and includes rear sport spoiler, darkened front headlights and fog lamps, black Range Rover lettering, clear rear lamps, 20‑inch Gloss Black forged wheels, Santorini Black painted bumper sections and dark exhaust finishers.

"The Sicilian Yellow Special Edition is the perfect opportunity to introduce the Range Rover Evoque into 2013 and build on what is already a tremendous success story. Such a striking colour combination attributes itself to the already unique styling of the Evoque. This, combined with the release of the Black Design Pack in April, will provide customers with yet more appealing and unique choices," said John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director.

In the UK the Range Rover Evoque is powered by three different powertrain options. Land Rover's powerful, efficient and lightweight 2.2 litre diesel engine, in SD4 190PS guise, combined with either a 6‑speed manual or 6‑speed automatic gearbox and four‑wheel drive. The two‑wheel drive eD4 is powered by the 150PS TD4 version of the engine combined with a six‑speed manual gearbox and produces just 129g/km CO₂. The lightweight Land Rover Si4 petrol engine delivers 240PS and is combined with a 6‑speed automatic transmission and four‑wheel drive.
