2012 Range Rover Evoque

Land Rover has issued the full spec on the new Range Rover Evoque five-door. Land Rover calls the three-door Evoque a coupe aimed at singletons or young couples; the five-door is pitched at young families with one or two children.

How exactly is the five-door Range Rover Evoque different?

The five-door comes with three rear seats, as opposed to the coupe’s 2+2 seating layout.

The SUV will be offered in 3 or 5 door variants. The 5 door variant adds 30 mm of height and 50 mm of shoulder space for rear passengers.

The 3 and 5 door models come standard with front wheel drive, but all wheel drive is optional.

Like the coupe, the five-door Range Rover Evoque remains faithful to the spirit of the groundbreaking Land Rover LRX concept car, offering an innovative new interpretation of the original coupe design.

The five-door Range Rover Evoque also stays true to the core values of the Range Rover brand, providing premium levels of craftsmanship, luxury, performance and renowned Land Rover multi-terrain capability, but in a more compact package.

Coupe style and five-door versatility

The five-door "Range Rover Evoque" offers an exciting new interpretation of the LRX concept car design, combining the dramatic stance and dynamic appeal of the original cross-coupe with the enhanced functionality offered by a five-door format.

The Range Rover Evoque allows customers to specify a lavishly appointed cabin with soft, premium leather providing a luxurious finish to almost every surface of the instrument panel, doors and seats, with beautifully tailored twin-needle stitching.
