Once released the vehicle will be available in 160 countries and is due to officially be unveiled on September 30th at the Paris Motor Show.
As a signs of evolving to meet the new demands of the market, Land Rover has shrunk the overall size of the model in every conceivable way including a fuel consumption of just under 130g per kilometre and both two and four wheel drive versions.

The new design for the Evoque is based on the Rover LRX concept which made its appearance in 2008 as a sportier alternative to the larger Range Rover vehicles and likely will compete for consumers that enjoy the sleek small appearance of Jeep Cherokees.
The interior of the car will be designed exclusively by Victoria Beckham.
