Land Rover, Gaydon, Warwickshire, November 17, 2010 ‑ The exciting 5‑Door version of the all‑new Range Rover Evoque made its global public debut at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17, 2010.

With its stylish and sporting appearance, enhanced by extra versatility, the Range Rover Evoque 5‑Door joins the stunning coupé model to create a highly desirable line‑up that will transform the premium compact SUV segment.

"The addition of the 5‑Door to the Range Rover Evoque line‑up extends the appeal of our brand still further," said Land Rover's Managing Director Phil Popham. "While retaining everything that's great about the Range Rover Evoque coupé, this new 5‑Door bodystyle will offer customers even more choice, greater versatility and flexibility. The launch of the Evoque in 2011 will expand and revitalise the global appeal of the Range Rover marque."

The Range Rover Evoque 5‑Door reinforces Land Rover's commitment to environmental sustainability. The Evoque is positioned as the smallest, lightest, most fuel‑efficient Range Rover ever. It features lightweight construction techniques and provides customers with a choice of either all‑wheel‑drive or front‑wheel‑drive.

This 5‑Door version offers an exciting new interpretation of the LRX concept car design, combining the dramatic stance and dynamic appeal of the original cross‑coupé with the enhanced functionality offered by a 5‑Door format.

"The Range Rover Evoque 5‑Door has the same strong emotional appeal as the coupé, while offering superior versatility," said Land Rover Design Director, Gerry McGovern. "The key lines remain intact ‑ the dramatic rising beltline, muscular shoulder running the length of the car, and the distinctive taper to the floating roofline ‑ but with a slightly higher rear roof. The finished vehicle offers impressive levels of space and flexibility whilst retaining the overall essence, visual robustness and jewel‑like detailing of the coupé."

Measuring 30mm taller than the coupé model, the Range Rover Evoque 5‑Door adds further space and versatility to the luxurious cabin. Rear seat passengers benefit from over 50mm more shoulder room, along with generous headroom, which compares very favourably to traditional sporting saloons. When required, luggage capacity can be expanded to a substantial 1445 litres.

A full‑sized glass panoramic roof enhances the sensation of space and comfort by flooding the interior with natural light, and offers even greater headroom for all occupants.

On the open road, the Range Rover Evoque 5‑Door offers a polished driving experience that combines dynamic and sporty handling with responsive, effortless performance and refinement.

"The Range Rover Evoque 5‑Door has the same sporting character as the coupé," said Murray Dietsch, Director of Land Rover Programmes. "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 optional Adaptive Dynamics system with advanced MagneRide™ dampers provides an exceptional balance between a supple, controlled ride and sharper handling responses. Drivers who take their Range Rover Evoque off‑road will be reassured to know that, in addition to generous ground clearance, the car has better breakover and departure angles than other compact SUVs.

The Range Rover Evoque 5‑Door shares its turbocharged powertrain line‑up with the coupé model. The state‑of‑the‑art diesel and petrol engines offer smooth and responsive performance, blending four‑cylinder efficiency with six‑cylinder refinement and power.

Customers can choose between two comprehensively updated 2.2‑litre turbodiesel derivatives, with 190PS or 150PS. In the 5‑Door model, the front‑wheel‑drive Range Rover Evoque with the 150PS 2.2‑litre engine achieves sub 135g/km* CO2. A new 240PS, 2.0‑litre Si4 petrol engine combines direct fuel injection, turbocharging and twin variable valve timing for exceptional driveability and fuel efficiency, delivering 0‑60 mph in 7.1 seconds*.

The Evoque is the first Range Rover to offer breathtaking new sound systems developed in partnership with the high‑end audio specialist Meridian. The premium Meridian offering is an 825W, 17‑speaker system that delivers the ultimate in surround‑sound performance.

Other features available to Range Rover Evoque customers include:

  • Park Assist for automated parallel parking
  • Blind Spot Monitoring system
  • Surround Camera System with five digital cameras, including a reversing system
  • Full dual‑zone automatic climate control, featuring a Park Heater timer facility
  • Hard drive navigation system
  • DAB/FM/AM/Sirius tuners, with hard drive virtual 10xCD multiplayer

  • Rear seat entertainment package, with 8‑inch video screens, digital wireless headphones and touch screen remote control
  • Keyless entry system and powered tailgate
  • Adaptive headlamps with Automatic High Beam Assist
  • Heated windscreen, front seats and steering wheel

The Range Rover Evoque 5‑Door follows the coupé model by offering customers the choice of three main vehicle design themes, each with its own distinctive character, exterior treatment and carefully co‑ordinated interior package.

Both coupé and 5‑Door models of 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 summer 2011. Prices will start from £30,000/ 35,000E.
