Range Rover Evoque

Jonnycoupe · 2 Jul 2010 at 07:27

So they have decided on a name from its LRX concept name and it was launched last night with its new names and Victoria Beckham.

Still its nice to see it launched now and most responses seem suprised its still so similar to the concept. It doesnt look quite so fresh and new to me now as I saw it 2.5 years ago, but still looks a rather impressive car.

I think its looks fantastic. Any idea of price range? Where does the model sit in the range?

danza · 2 Jul 2010 at 07:35

Where are the rest of the doors?

/edit

Oh, it appears to be a baby Range Rover, amirite?

Its the baby Range Rover, so sits around a simliar area as the Disco.

There is a 5 door version aswell, projections are based on 1:10 ratio between the 3 door 'coupe' and 5 door.

Pricing around £35k but the spec lists are pretty comprehensive as standard. Just a shame it was decided not to keep with the 3.2 Inline 6 as used in Freelander, launch engines are 2.2 Diesel and 2.0 Petrol turbo.

I really like it!

Would be good to see a 3.0 V6 Twin Turbo in there! (Petrol!)

Can't say Im a fan of the looks tbh.

Dont know if its just the image, but the lines look a bit skewed. Looks like an MC Escher drawing.

like it, but not sure i'd be willing be to pay likely 35-45k for something smaller than a freelander.

Sadly my wife likes the look of those

I am excited by this, I wanted to get a RR sport in the future but for a single person that is probably too big, maybe this fits the bill. It did look really quite small on the video though.

Looks great and It goes quite well to!

Participant · 2 Jul 2010 at 10:00

Not at all a fan of the enormous wheel arch surrounding. Rest looks great though.

Is it me or does it look a bit like the Q7 ?

is it really smaller than a freelander? if so, that would make it of no interest to me too

Jonnycoupe · 2 Jul 2010 at 10:27

It looks NOTHING like the Q7.

Yep, smaller rear end, along with much less rear visibility

You have to kind of look at this car as the Land Rover version of the Aston Cygnet.

It's you.

Inertia is designed by Victoria Beckham isn't it?

Interior?

No.

She will be helping on a special edition, which will be pretty much fabric choice and colour selection, proper pencil fairy stuff which I guess I'd like to see any recognition of her 'design' input ending.
