LAND ROVER EVOQUE

British carmaker Land Rover has pulled the wraps off the latest SUV Rover Range Rover Evoque today. Launched just after Diwali, this SUV might not attract many buyers. However, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque priced at Rs 44.75 lakh is so costly that it will cater only to a niche audience who would not wait for suitable timing and just jump on to buy the extremely luxurious Evoque with their open-ended budgets. Such is the hysteria about this sheer luxury SUV in global market that the Range Rover Evoque’s production is sold out for a full one year. This SUV is a robust and powerful avatar by Land Rover unlike its previous cars that did not attract many takers. Evoque is also the lightest, smallest and most efficient Range Rover product in India. Range Rover Evoque will be pitted against the Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Volvo XC90. Land Rover Evoque is launched in coupe and five door SUV body styles. Land Rover Range Rover Evoque will be the only luxury SUV in India to be available in three door guise, thus carving out a distinctive and monopoly market for itself. Evoque will be powered by a 2179 cc diesel engine mated to a six speed automatic gearbox. A more powerful 1999 cc petrol powered Evoque has also seen its dawn. A caboodle of latest safety, security and comfort features are loaded on the Evoque. The Evoque SUV is available in three variants each, Pure, Prestige and Dynamic, for the petrol and diesel engines. The CKD assembly of the Evoque is scheduled to happen in India, in the nearly 12 months.
