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.
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.
Many of the LRX concept features now appear on the Evoque. These are mostly styling cues like a rising beltline, a muscled shoulder line taking the entire length of the SUV and sweeping tapered roofline to give the Evoque its distinctive 21st century power and elegance.
The Evoque ride is as smooth as that of any luxury SUV in the market, thanks to its lightweight chassis, electric power-assisted steering for precise and responsive steering even at low speeds, and Adaptive Dynamics aided by MagneRide™ dampers that deliver a comfortable but controlled ride.
RangeRover is known for producing vehicles that look pretty on the street with the ability to get rugged on all terrains. The Evoque offers the unique Terrain Response® system which helps on any surface from snow and gravel to other off-road surfaces.
Evoque customers can choose from among three distinctive design themes. There's the 'Pure' which carry the concept-car exterior with neutral interior colors; the 'Prestige' which is a more luxurious version using entirely leather interiors and the 'Dynamic' which takes a sportier and bolder exterior 19- or 20-inch alloy wheels, unique grille, bumpers and tailpipe.
Production of the Evoque will be done at the Halewood plant in Merseyside, UK. Starting in 2011, some 160 markets worldwide will get the Evoque at about $45,000 price tag.
