London witnessed the launch of a much awaited car recently when Land Rover’s new Evoque a.k.a. LRX concept bowed down to the public. The LRX has been in the news and spying shots for quite a long time now since it’s much loved surprising show up at an Auto show some time ago.
The car is currently showed off as a two door coupe filling the gap and the need for a cool 2 door Rangie that was nimble and an easy city run about too. It is being called the Evoque and production is to be up at the company’s Halewood facility. A four door model is also likely to be a part of the company’s plans for the car.
The car is quite unsurprisingly, the lightest, smallest and the most fuel efficient vehicle in the line up of LR just to keep the greens happy. So finally LR does have a car which does not carry the tag of killer of Polar Bears as Jeremy Clarkson of BBC TopGear fame puts it. The design of the car sticks true to the evocative LRX concept and hence might be the name! Company sources suggest a small four cylinder turbo charged engine to keep decent power figures and appreciable fuel economy figures. Expect a two wheel drive version as an option powering the front wheels while the regular Range Rover spec four wheel drive trains will be standard.
