With combined fuel consumption of 30.1mpg, this made it one of the most powerful and economical diesels in the world at its introduction in 2011.

Range Rover Evoque Live
RANGE ROVER EVOQUE LIVE: GROUNDBREAKING VEHICLE SHOWCASE ELECTRIFIES LONDON AUDIENCES
25 May 2011 - The most exciting vehicle of the year - the Range Rover Evoque - took centre stage in London over the weekend as the star of a spectacular series of live performances that combined state-of the–art motion graphics with high fashion.
Earl’s Court was the venue for the three-day event, which began on Friday (20 May) and saw celebrities and customers alike entertained by Evoque Live’s 360 degree, 25 minute sensory experience.
The high octane events represent an industry first - combining visionary art, contemporary design and haute couture with an exclusive opportunity to get up close and personal with Land Rover’s smallest, lightest and most fuel-efficient model ever before it goes on sale in September.
Evoque Live was brought to life by Lee Lapthorne and Doll Productions (the company behind award winning shows including Clothes Show Live and Britain’s Next Top Model) using a fusion of creative talent including fashion stylist Harriet Jagger, designers Jasper Conran, Amanda Wakeley and choreography by Ashley Wallen.
Commenting on the fashions responsible for setting pulses racing, all of which were inspired by different aspects of the vehicle, award-winning designer Amanda Wakeley said: “The Evoque is a truly iconic British car, so it feels appropriate that Land Rover has chosen to showcase British fashion in this way - as both are world renowned for their creativity and craftsmanship."
With a stylish range of personalisation options both the coupé and 5-Door versions of the Range Rover Evoque give customers the opportunity to tailor their vehicle to suit their lifestyle. It is also available with a choice of powertrains, petrol and diesel, as well as six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. Plus, for the first time in a Range Rover, the option of 2WD (front wheel drive) as well as 4WD.
Producer Lee Lapthorne added: “I am proud to be behind such a groundbreaking show. It is a genuine first in terms of vehicle launches and delivers a unique audience experience.”
The spectacular show now moves to Birmingham (opening at the NEC on 27 May) and Manchester (opening at Manchester Central Convention Complex on 3 June) where it will deliver the Evoque Live experience to over 10,000 people. However, tickets for these events are limited (only 150 per show), with many shows already sold out.

Evoque New York Debut
RANGE ROVER EVOQUE MAKES NEW YORK CITY DEBUT AT EXCLUSIVE EVENT CELEBRATING LUXURY AND DESIGN
NEW YORK, N.Y., April 20, 2011 -- Timed to the 2011 New York Auto Show, Range Rover debuted its all-new 2012 Range Rover Evoque in New York City last night at a star-studded, exclusive night of luxury, technology and design. Tennis great Serena Williams joined Range Rover to help celebrate the vehicle’s introduction to the city. Range Rover’s New York “City Shapers,” a group of leading influencers from fashion, design, music and film, including Georgina Chapman, Darrelle Revis, Josh Rubin, Piers Fawkes and Bevy Smith, were also in attendance and shared details of the Range Rover Evoque models they have personalized and will drive starting this fall.
Guests at the event, held at the Highline Stages in New York’s Meatpacking District, were the first in New York to interact with the Range Rover Evoque, which was on display and is available to consumers this fall.
The Range Rover Evoque is the smallest, lightest, most fuel efficient Range Rover ever produced and will be on display at the 2011 New York International Auto Show. The Range Rover Evoque, which will retail in the U.S. beginning in the fall, stays true to the core values of Range Rover while being embodied in a more compact package. As a smaller, lighter and more efficient Range Rover, the Range Rover Evoque addresses the growing consumer need for more environmentally friendly vehicles.
“We’re thrilled to introduce the new Range Rover Evoque in New York, the biggest Range Rover market in the world,” said Kim McCullough, Brand Vice President, Land Rover North America. “The Range Rover Evoque provides all the luxury of a Range Rover, and, in a friendly footprint.”
The Range Rover Evoque will be available in two versions: a coupe and a five-door. The two versions are identical in overall length and width; however, the five-door has a 1.18 inch higher roofline. Every Range Rover Evoque destined for the United States will be equipped with all-wheel-drive and will feature a 240-horsepower, turbocharged, direct fuel injected, four-cylinder engine coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission.
The Range Rover Evoque will be manufactured at Land Rover's multi-award winning Halewood plant in the United Kingdom. It will go on sale in over 160 markets worldwide, with North American deliveries currently scheduled to begin in fall 2011.
