Range Rover Evoque Receives Top Honor

27 October 2011

Since the moment the all‑new Range Rover Evoque was first unveiled to the world on July 1, 2010 at Kensington Palace in London, the global reaction made clear that the newest Range Rover embodied that special something that drew people's attention and made them want to know more about it.  

 

Over the past year, consumers, media and enthusiasts were given the opportunity to see the Range Rover Evoque on display at auto shows and special events and gained more fans for its unique design and true luxury. Test drives began, and the reactions grew even more positive.

 

One group of the first media outlets in the U.S. to spend an extended period of time in the vehicle was the Motor Trend Magazine team.  And after their initial test drives, they tested it alongside all the other top new SUVs to come out this year.

 

 

On October 25, the all‑new Range Rover Evoque was awarded a top honor in the automotive industry, as Motor Trend named it the '2012 SUV of the Year' proving just how special the newest Range Rover truly is.

 

An award ceremony with employees took place on the rooftop of the Land Rover Manhattan dealership, where Editor‑in‑Chief of Motor Trend, Angus Mackenzie presented Andy Goss, President of Jaguar Land Rover North America with the coveted caliper award. With a backdrop of the Manhattan skyline (after all New York City is the largest metro Range Rover market in the world) employees from Land Rover's corporate office in New Jersey and from the dealership gathered to receive the award along with Andy and to celebrate this incredible honor for the brand.

 

 

From the production debut in London to the year long rollout to the Motor Trend celebration in New York, everything about the 2012 Range Rover Evoque has been memorable and unique. This new vehicle, and the excitement it creates, is something all of us in the Land Rover family around the world can be proud of. Congratulations Range Rover Evoque!
