KUALA LUMPUR: Land Rover (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd yesterday officially launched the exciting all-new Range Rover Evoque for the Malaysian market.

The smallest, lightest, most fuel efficient Range Rover ever produced, completely built-up (CBU) Evoque comes in three variants, namely the two-litre Petrol Coupe Dynamic Plus – RM393,888 (Peninsular Malaysia), RM397,388 (Sabah and Sarawak), 2.0L Petrol 5-Door Prestige – RM363,888(Peninsular Malaysia), RM367,388 (Sabah and Sarawak), 2.2L Diesel 5-Door Prestige – RM353,888 (Peninsular Malaysia), RM357,388(Sabah and Sarawak).

DISTINCTIVELY EVOQUE: Models posing with the Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Petrol Coupe Dynamic Plus during the official launch.

The 2.0L Petrol Coupe specified with the sporty Dynamic Plus design theme and the 2.0L Petrol five-door in luxurious Prestige theme are powered by a state-of-the-art new 240PS Si4 petrol engine that combines direct fuel injection, turbo-charging and twin variable valve timing for exceptional driveability and fuel efficiency.

Meanwhile, the 2.2L diesel five-door featuring the luxurious Prestige is powered by the proven 190Ps SD4 turbo diesel engine currently found in the Land Rover Freelander 2. Both the petrol and diesel engines are matched to the latest generation AW F-21 6-speed automatic transmission with a Rotary Auto Shifter.

Land Rover Malaysia managing director Mohd Hazem Abdul Rahman revealed that the Evoque was one of the most important and exciting vehicles in a generation from Land Rover.

“With its cutting edge lines and sporty, dynamic profile, the Evoque is a game-changer for the Range Rover brand. It defines a completely new segment in the SUV market and is set to change mindsets. In the Evoque, we have for the first time, a breakthrough product that should appeal to those who have never considered a Land Rover, Range Rover or SUV before,” he said.

Although the Evoque had successfully turned the acclaimed LRX concept into reality by making a quantum leap in Range Rover design, both the coupe and five-door models remained true to the brand’s core values of premium luxury and formidable all-terrain performance and combined them with dynamic and sporty handling.

“The Evoque really does give you the best of everything – stunning concept car looks combined with day-to-day comfort and practicality and unmatched 4X4 capabilities,” Hazem added.

All three Evoque models came with 20” alloy wheels and a host of comfort and convenience features befitting a Range Rover. These included a breathtaking 11-speaker 380W audio system by high-end audio specialist Meridian, an
eight inch touchscreen with navigation system, a five inch full-colour TFT Driver Information display between the two instrument dials, an advanced Park Assist automated parallel parking system and powered tailgate.

Tech-savvy customers got the connectivity they demanded with a comprehensive package that included Bluetooth hands-free mobile phone use and audio streaming, plus a range of USB and auxiliary inputs for iPods and other portable devices, he pointed out.

The Evoque’s wide and deep trunk was able to accommodate the full length of a golf bag with clubs. Carefully designed stowage areas under the load floor added extra capacity, while 60/40 folding rear seat squabs allowed the luggage capacity to be expanded quickly and easily.

For added convenience, the Range Rover Smart Key system enabled keyless entry to the vehicle. The rear tailgate was powered for ease of opening, and can also be opened remotely using the key fob, Hazem added.
