2012 Range Rover Evoque Five-Door: First Look
- Competes with: Infiniti FX, BMW X6
- Looks like: A bigger version of the three-door Evoque
- Drivetrain: 240-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, six-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive
- Hits dealerships: Fall 2011
We’ve checked out the three-door version of the Evoque in Paris and found the interior wild enough to match the exterior looks. Now, Land Rover is revealing more information and photos of the five-door version of the car. It will go on sale in the U.S. next fall for around $45,000.
What do you get for that money? It seems the styling will be the main selling point, along with a turbocharged four-cylinder good for 240 horsepower, but no torque figures were given. The company says it will get to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds.
The strange thing about this Evoque is that it has the same length and width of the three-door version, but it gains a whopping 1.18 inches in height. That gives rear passengers slightly more shoulder and headroom.
The Evoque five-door will come in three trim levels: Pure, Prestige and Dynamic.
Pure models start things off with LED headlights and taillights as well as interior ambient lighting and a panoramic roof. From what we’ve read, it doesn’t seem like the roof opens. Prestige models get standard 19-inch wheels, two-tone upgraded leather interior with stitching, and wood and metal finishes. Dynamic models add 20-inch wheels and unique bumpers, grilles and exhausts as well as a spoiler. The leather interior is more sports-oriented than the other models and it doesn’t appear it has the panoramic roof.
More images are below. We’ll have more from the floor of the Los Angeles Auto Show next week.
