The Range Rover Evoque drew heavily on style as a selling point, but also possesses the substance to back it up

“What makes the Evoque so special is its relevance,” said Gerry McGovern, Land Rover’s chief design officer. “The design remains modern and fresh. The Evoque is widely acknowledged to have brought a whole new youthful generation of buyers into the Range Rover brand, including more women.

“Its success was clear from the start and gave us the confidence to break new ground, which you can see with vehicles like the Land Rover Evoque Convertible. This Landmark Special Edition is a celebration of six years of success so far.”

The current Evoque first went on sale in 2011. The next-generation model is expected to arrive by 2019 with a larger platform to offer more interior space.

Congrats to JLR & Tata

Why is it British success stories like the Evoque & JLR always get slagged off on this site?????
The German companies never get bad comments. Why???
Is it because they do everything better????
NO THEY DON'T.
We (The British) always talk down our own achievements!!!!

Everything gets slagged off

Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes, BMW, VW, Vauxhall, ford, Renault etc etc on this site. It's called a wide readership, who have strong opinions about what they like and don't like.

A bit like your good self. It's great you have such strong views, but I don't think it is limited to just JLR.

BTW! I am on my second discovery, which I love, however I still am not keen on the evoke.

Congrats and is the convertiblr selling?

Most of the negative comments follow mine about the convertible version. Yes each to their own but in this case you can't tell me that version is a success and you like it??

I think Graham Norton's plumber has just taken delivery of his.

Such hillarous comments...

All the usual negative comments - why? Perhaps it's jealousy.

I don't particularly like the Evoque but there's no doubting it's been a massive success story for JLR and for British jobs. And one look at the residual values is enough of an indicator how much of a demand it is on the used market.

Those who continually mock cars that appear in these articles - what car do you drive?

That's a bit of a strange comment.

Certainly not one of these.

Because someone wants to poke a bit of fun at something does not reveal their income.

Come to think of it, neither does what car they drive.

Why do I mock faux SUVs like this and the Bentayga? Because they are poncey ghey AF poser-mobiles. They suck balls and arse, but mostly balls. And it is fun to take the pi$$ out of them and their poncey ghey AF poser drivers. I drive a 2002 Mitsubishi Magna, mostly stock except for some engine mods, suspension, and a good stereo, since you asked - cost me all of $900. Actually, $950 because I gave the owner an extra $50 for a taxi home (he was nice enough to drive it round to my place to test drive!). It's low, black, dirty, and loud. The stereo has 210,000 customisable display colours, and the seller assured me it looks awesome if you are driving at night while stoned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I laughed at Evoque jealousy.

I laughed at the evoque jealousy thing, isn't that like wishing you had a tumour on your todger, so it looks thicker when flaccid?

I am still driving my trusty old (2008) 997 C2S, I also have a quite tidy Clio Williams and a Cube reaction GTC bicycle.
I just sold my Ducati Monster bike a few months back. The Wife drives a new 320 Msport Xdrive and actually fancies an Evoque, especially as she now has a dodgy hip.
Hope that helps.

Plagarism?

..is the name pinched from the Chinese copy of Evoque called Landwind?
Do you think the Chinese will sue? hehe.
