The groundbreaking, all-new Land Rover Range Rover Evoque made its global public debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has turned the much-acclaimed LRX concept car into reality, faithfully capturing the spirit of its landmark cross-coupé design.
Phil Popham, managing director of Land Rover, said: "The groundbreaking, all-new Range Rover Evoque takes the brand into exciting new territory.
The all-new Land Rover Range Rover Evoque takes its inspiration directly from the LRX concept car, which drew worldwide acclaim for its exciting new interpretation of classic Range Rover design cues.
Gerry McGovern, Land Rover design director, said: "The Range Rover Evoque marks a bold evolution of Range Rover design by adopting new interpretations of classic Range Rover design cues and staying true to the core Range Rover values.
Land Rover engineers have developed the Range Rover Evoque to provide customers with a polished driving experience that combines dynamic and sporty handling with responsive, effortless performance and refinement.

Phil Popham said: "The launch of the Range Rover Evoque is a significant step forward for the Range Rover brand.
The all-new Range Rover Evoque has turned the LRX concept into reality, marking a bold evolution of Range Rover design, and providing customers with a compact, premium and highly desirable SUV.
The Evoque delivers Range Rover levels of quality and craftsmanship in every detail of the car. The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is completely faithful to the style of the stunning LRX Concept, capturing its design almost to the millimetre.
The all-new Range Rover Evoque has been designed and engineered to provide drivers with a finely judged balance of sporting driving dynamics, responsive performance and sophisticated refinement.
Achieving the desired dynamic character in the Evoque required an evolution of the Range Rover DNA. Starting with the driving dynamics of the Range Rover Sport, which has a similar DNA to a luxury sports saloon, Range Rover dynamics specialists set out to deliver a more agile and connected drive.
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has an all-turbocharged engine line-up with a choice of state-of-the-art petrol and diesel power units. Range Rover engineers have applied meticulous attention to detail to ensure that the Evoque displays a refined and harmonious sound quality under all driving conditions.
Weight saving was a primary objective in the development of the Range Rover Evoque, and engineers have applied a range of advanced lightweight materials to make this the lightest Range Rover ever, with weights starting at just 1600kg.
Weight-saving technologies can be found throughout the bodyshell and chassis of the Range Rover Evoque, including:
For the ultimate in weight saving, the two-wheel-drive Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is 75kg lighter than the four-wheel-drive version, and delivers superior fuel economy and CO2 emissions for customers who do not require four-wheel-drive all-terrain capability.
Range Rover engineers have rigorously eliminated parasitic losses from every area of the Evoque, to ensure that the car delivers the lowest possible fuel consumption.
The all-new Range Rover Evoque has been designed and engineered to provide customers with the same comprehensive range of premium technologies they expect from a true Range Rover, just shrink-wrapped into a more compact package.
The unrivalled array of premium Land Rover Range Rover equipment comprises the latest technologies for controls, connectivity, comfort and convenience, including some highly distinctive and original signature features plus stunning new high-end Meridian audio systems.
David Mitchell said: "The Evoque provides the complete Range Rover experience, but packaged into a smaller, more attainable car.
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque also supports Bluetooth audio streaming, so that customers can enjoy music stored on their phone, or other portable Bluetooth device, via the car's audio system.
The all-new Range Rover Evoque has been engineered, developed and tested to the same exacting standards as the larger models in the Range Rover line-up.
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque features an all-new structure and suspension system which have been developed to deliver outstanding dynamics both on- and off-road, while preserving the stunning sporting profile of the original LRX concept car.
The Range Rover Evoque features a powerful all-disc braking system for confident stopping in all conditions.

Active safety performance is further enhanced by a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art traction and stability systems, configured using Range Rover's expertise in all-terrain performance to maximise stability and safety in the widest range of driving conditions.
To complement the car's responsive on-road handling, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque features refinements to the Dynamic Stability Control and Roll Stability Control systems which further enhance cornering behaviour and stability.

Traction Control System (TCS)
Engine Drag torque Control (EDC)
