Whitley, UK, 22 November 2018 – Designed to expertly blend city living with country escapism, the new Range Rover Evoque builds on the original's enduring luxury appeal with a purposeful and precise evolution of its instantly recognisable silhouette.

A reductive design approach focused on simplicity, the most compact Range Rover is a vision of modernity and timeless design placing Evoque back at the top of the segment.

Gerry McGovern, Land Rover, Chief Design Officer, said: "When Range Rover Evoque made its debut back in 2010, it transformed the world of compact SUVs and the new model is set to continue that remarkable journey. This characterful vehicle combines refinement and fun to create that all important emotional reaction that will turn heads and make people smile."

Range Rover Evoque's enduring profile and coupé-like silhouette is typified by its distinctive fast roofline and rising waist.

Outstanding volume and proportions are amplified by its pronounced shoulders and powerful wheel arches that, alongside 21-inch wheels, combine to create a strong and dynamic attitude.

The introduction of super-slim Matrix LED headlamps provides a more sophisticated front and rear lamp graphic. Flush door handles add to the smooth, sculpted aesthetic, while sweeping directional indicators create a purposeful signature.

Stretching across the rear of the vehicle is a striking black accent that creates a sense of visual width, while the precise reduction of exterior panel gaps demonstrates the level of craftsmanship Land Rover's designers and engineers have worked to achieve.

Massimo Frascella, Exterior Design Director, Land Rover, said "Customers love the compact proportions of Evoque so we have kept the overall dimensions very similar to the original, but we have lengthened the wheelbase to make Evoque more practical. Our approach has optimised the proportions to elevate the new Evoque's unique personality. The new Evoque is a true Range Rover, highly sophisticated with a unique and striking presence."

Evoque introduces two striking new exterior colours. Seoul Pearl Silver is a luxurious, warm pearlescent silver named after the South Korean Capital, while Nolita Grey is a metallic finish with burnished copper accents in homage to the edgy, urban district of New York City.

The Range Rover Evoque introduces new levels of refinement and luxury to the cabin with a revolutionary approach to the interior. The unbroken horizontal architecture emphasises a feeling of width and space that, alongside a more steeply raked instrument panel, gives the interior a very sophisticated feel. With its unique blend of uncluttered surfaces and contemporary materials, this next-generation compact SUV pays homage to the Range Rover DNA.

There is more rear leg and knee room for occupants thanks to the 20mm longer wheelbase, while there is also now more foot space under each seat thanks to the new seat mounting points.

The luxury cabin has a greater focus on usability and intuitive technologies. The striking two screens and capacitive switches of the Touch Pro Duo infotainment system are the focal point of the interior environment. The beautiful clean design neatly integrates touchscreen technology with simple-to-use rotary dials.

Enhancing the convenience is a large centre console – able to hold carry bags, umbrellas and tablets – with twin sliding armrests, doors that can now hold large 1.5-litre water bottles, while the storage behind the lower touchscreen can discreetly hold small items.

Alan Sheppard, Interior Design Director, Land Rover, said: "The sheek interior of the new Evoque affords a greater sense of space, where refined finishes and the latest technology are seamlessly integrated into the design. Our goal was to maintain Evoque's enviable position at the leading edge of contemporary Design and we truly believe we have achieved this."

Evoque's sumptuous interior feel is enhanced with the introduction of two new colour combinations – Cloud and Deep Garnet.

These feature alongside technical material options, such as the Kvadrat wool blend and new Eucalyptus Melange textile in combination with Ultrafabric PU. Each seat is available with unique tailored details, such as cut diamond perforation and Arctic Petrol micro-piping.

Amy Frascella, Chief Designer Colour and Materials, Land Rover, said: "We placed a great deal of focus on the creation of refined, sumptuous interior and exterior colour and material details. New materials designed and developed to offer different technical attributes alongside a more modern look and feel combine to offer more contemporary options for one of our most progressive vehicles yet."
