2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque MSRP: $43,145 - $44,145

The interior, which is strictly four-seat, is lavishly furnished. Optional spec even runs to soft stitched leather to gift-wrap the dash and door casings. The visible metallic surfaces are actual metal, and the ambient lighting keeps up with the class leaders on perceived quality. The flavor of the LRX's cabin has come through, though the design is more practical. It is ever thus with concepts heading for production: The interior is always the part that's watered down the most.

The electrical architecture is shared with Jaguar Land Rover's top-end models, which brings the option of the 8-inch dualview center screen. It uses polarization to allow the driver to see one image - trip computer or navigation -- while the passenger sees another, such as a DVD movie. A 1200-watt, 17-speaker stereo system also is on the options list. Driver aids include self-parking (enabled by the electric PAS) and surround cameras.

 

2012 Land Range Rover evoque Interior and Detail Exterior

MSRP: $43,145 - $44,145

MPG Range: N/A

Body Style: SUV
Range Rover has traditionally been the luxo SUV brand with the highest commitment to off-roadability. That makes the Evoque crossover-coupe all the more of a departure. Its design is definitely style first, utility second, and its dynamic emphasis leans very much toward on-road dynamics. That just shows how the world is changing. But the luxury angle is very much intact.

The Evoque will be a third model for Range Rover, fitting below the stately, eponymous RR and the Range Rover Sport. It goes on sale mid-2011 at prices running about $40,000-$50,000. A five-door with the same wedge silhouette will follow half a year after.

The Evoque is a dead ringer for the Land Rover LRX concept from the Detroit Show in 2008. The sheetmetal surfacing has been rounded a little, but other 'concepty' aspects-proportions, stance, 20-inch wheels, even most of the external jewelry -- have survived pretty much intact.

Overall mass is pegged to about 3750 pounds for a 4x4. In Europe, super-economy versions will be available with a 2.2-liter 150-hp turbodiesel, manual trans, idle-stop and (shock!) front-drive.

At 171.3 inches long, 63.1 inches high, the Evoque is 17 inches shorter than the Range Rover Sport V8, 7.1 inches lower, and a staggering 1700 pounds lighter.

Range Rover remains serious about off-roading, despite the positioning of the Evoque, and claims it will be class-leading -- though this presumably means the crossover class rather than SUV. The AWD system deploys an electronically controlled Haldex center diff to split the torque front-rear as appropriate. The vehicle has Terrain Response to recalibrate parameters such as traction control, throttle and gearchange maps, and steering weight. There is also a Dynamic road setting, which puts the optional Magnaride dampers into a sterner program and changes the color of the instruments and ambient cabin illumination.

Best Jaguar, Land Rover Finally Turn Profit

If you were among the few Jaguar/Land Rover fans that wondered why Ford would sell off two brands they’d just invested millions in, congratulations, you can now tell your friend’s “I told you so.”

Having bled cash for a while prior to the sale, both companies were given new facilities and new models right before their disownment, and it would appear that investment from Ford has finally paid off as Tata has recently announced that both companies have turned a profit. Yes, you read that right, a profit. Thanks to an increase of 23% in total sales over the last quarter, Jaguar/Land Rover posted a profit of almost $5 million.

While nothing to write home about (that’ll only buy you around 50 XK’s), the profit demonstrates exactly how far the two firms have come from their darker days. Now producing vehicles that are easily the equal of competitors once thought out of reach, it’s good to finally see the buying public expressing their confidence in the two historic firms.
