THE ALL‑NEW RANGE ROVER EVOQUE IS THE SMALLEST, LIGHTEST, MOST
FUEL EFFICIENT RANGE ROVER EVER PRODUCED
MONTREAL, January 13, 2011 ‑ The all‑new Range Rover Evoque makes
its first Canadian appearance along with Land Rover's full 2011
model year line‑up at the 2011 Montreal International Auto Show.
The all new Range Rover Evoque, and 2011 Range Rover, Range Rover
Sport, Land Rover LR4, and Land Rover LR2 will be on display for
press review on January 13 and available during the public show
days from January 14‑23.
All‑new Range Rover Evoque
The Range Rover Evoque brings the acclaimed Land Rover's LRX
concept car into production reality, faithfully capturing the
original design of this landmark coupe concept.
In keeping with the ethos of Range Rover, the Range Rover Evoque
delivers premium levels of craftsmanship, luxury, performance and
renowned Land Rover multi‑terrain capability into a more compact
package.
The Range Rover Evoque is the lightest, most fuel‑efficient Range
Rover ever. It is a strong demonstration of the marque's commitment
to environmental sustainability.
"This is a highly relevant and contemporary vehicle that
will suit the modern needs of our customers," said Jaguar Land
Rover Canada President, Lindsay Duffield. "And because Quebec is a
market that traditionally favours compact, fuel‑efficient engines,
we really think the Range Rover Evoque will be a hit here."
Lightweight construction techniques ensure optimum efficiency is
achieved. A new state‑of‑the‑art engine comes with turbocharging
and direct injection. The Range Rover Evoque also adopts low CO2
systems such as Electric Power‑Assisted Steering (EPAS) and is
built to maximize end of life recyclability.
The new vehicle's dramatic exterior is based directly on the LRX
concept car, which drew worldwide acclaim for its fresh
interpretation of classic Range Rover design cues.
Smart design and meticulous engineering has allowed the LRX
concept to be turned into reality without compromising the core
Range Rover values of luxury, refined performance and multi‑terrain
capability.
On the open road, the Range Rover Evoque offers a polished driving
experience that combines dynamic and sporty handling with
responsive, effortless performance and refinement.
The Range Rover Evoque offers customers a permanent
all‑wheel‑drive system, which delivers outstanding performance and
traction on multiple surfaces, such as snow, gravel and varied
off‑road surfaces.
The turbocharged powertrain of the Range Rover Evoque offers
smooth and responsive performance, blending four‑cylinder
efficiency with six‑cylinder refinement and power.
A new 240bhp, 2.0‑litre Si4 engine combines direct fuel injection,
turbocharging and twin variable valve timing for exceptional
drivability and fuel efficiency.
The Range Rover Evoque offers customers more choice with three
main vehicle design themes, each with its own distinctive
character, exterior treatment and carefully coordinated interior
package.
'Pure' combines the stunning concept‑car exterior with a stylish,
clean interior in neutral colors.
Soft‑touch wrapped materials on the major surfaces contrast with
the metal brushed aluminum trim.
'Prestige' is the ultimate in Range Rover luxury, combining a
bespoke exterior that includes unique, 19‑inch wheels and sparkling
metallic details, an optional 20‑inch wheel, with an interior that
is almost entirely leather‑wrapped.
'Dynamic' brings a bolder exterior with 19‑or 20‑inch wheels and
unique bumpers, sills, grille and tailpipes for a more assertive,
confident stance. Contrasting roof and spoiler colors are
available, while the premium sports interior offers sports seats
with splashes of bright contrast color.
The Range Rover Evoque will be manufactured at Land Rover's multi
award‑winning Halewood plant in Merseyside, UK. The car will go on
sale in more than 160 markets worldwide from Fall 2011.
2011 Range Rover
Class‑leading V8 engines, a multi‑talented 6‑speed transmission,
Terrain Response® upgrades and external styling enhancements all
combine to ensure the 2011 Range Rover retains its crown as king of
the luxury SUV segment.
The range‑topping, 5.0‑liter, 510hp supercharged and 375hp
naturally‑aspirated V8s deliver supreme performance. Their
uncompromising, world‑class performance is not accompanied by an
increase in fuel consumption and emissions compared to their
predecessors. These lightweight, direct injection engines combine
benchmark efficiency with outstanding power and torque.
Acceleration in the naturally aspirated car to 100 km/h is reached
in just 7.5 seconds, while for those who want the utmost in
performance, the supercharged V8 will rush to 100 km/h in a mere
6.2 seconds.
The 2011 model year Range Rover is further enhanced by
improvements to the Terrain Response® system in the form of Hill
Start Assist and Gradient Acceleration Control. Dynamically, the
Range Rover is equipped with the last word in suspension systems by
offering Adaptive Dynamics technology offering firm control of body
motions through turns while providing the calm, composed ride Range
Rovers are famous for.
