New Range Rover Evoque Evokes Innovation

Taking a cue from a concept SUV, the Range Rover Evoque gets center stage attention for the Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover as it introduces an entirely innovative Range Rover model.

 

Every year, automobile trade and design exhibits never fail to showcase concept cars from the leading and upstart car companies around the globe. It's a great time for car enthusiasts and consumers to start ogling and dropping jaws here and there. It often can take years for a concept car to go into production, some with less than the stellar performance promised during the car shows.

 

One can only remember the Jaguar XJ220 V-12 concept car back in the late 90s that disappointed advanced buyers when it finally got produced in a watered-down V-8.

 

In January 2008, Jaguar Land Rover showcased its concept Land Rover LRX which debuted at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. This concept SUV will never get into production as it has morphed into the new 2012 Range Rover Evoque slated to make its world debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show this coming September 30.

 

The Range Rover Evoque

 

After September, the new Range Rover Evoque should start appearing in your local showrooms by next year. It is essentially a Range Rover GT but carries the distinction of being the lightest and the most fuel-efficient Range Rover the company has ever produced. It comes with a lightweight body construction and a new state-of-the-art 2.0-litre turbocharged Si4 engine that delivers 240hp and is imbued with low CO2 systems for maximum efficiency and eco-friendliness.
