I’m trying to put together all the official launch videos for the Evoque, up to 11 in the playlist embedded below. You can click on the Playlist button just to the right of the Play button to see them all listed. If anyone knows of others, please let me know.
A reader named Mario tipped me off to this – Land Rover has gone live with a “Choose” option on the Evoque section of landrover.com – It’s currently visible in both the UK & USA, and I’m sure other countries too. It’s mostly there to show you colors; not really specific options. But we do finally see what a Dynamic interior will be.
I’ll put up all the various colors and interiors later, just wanted to get this out there.
Quick interesting items – the US site is missing the Prestige model. And all the interior shots they show are missing the Dynamic program from their Terrain Response controls, this was present in the pictures they put out last week as well as the vehicles they were showing in Paris. Maybe it will be an option?
More later…
Land Rover still hasn’t given us all the specifics but they have talked about the choice of three themes for the upcoming Evoque. These cover both exterior & interior design, with colors, materials, wheels & more. I’m really interested to see the pricing differences, with what I guess we can call trim levels.
So here are the three themes and some of the few pictures available:
• Pure – combining the stunning concept-car exterior with a stylish, clean interior in neutral colours to highlight the pure, simple forms of the cabin architecture. Soft-touch, wrapped materials on the major surfaces contrast with the real-metal brushed aluminium trim.
• Prestige – ultimate Range Rover luxury, combining a bespoke exterior that includes unique, 19-inch wheels and sparkling metallic details with an indulgent interior that is almost entirely leather-wrapped. Luxurious duo-tone colour schemes are embellished by premium leather, twin-needle stitching and real wood and metal finishes.
• Dynamic – bold exterior with 20-inch wheels and unique bumpers, sills, grille and tailpipes for a more assertive, confident stance. Contrasting roof and spoiler colour is a no-cost option, while the premium sports interior offers a darker environment with splashes of bright contrast colour, together with perforated leather seats and unique sports detailing.
Other then that, the only real clues we have is this image from the official Evoque page at landroverusa.com, which shows various materials & patterns:

So Land Rover just officially revealed the 2-door Range Rover Evoque at the Paris Auto Show. It was short and sweet and didn’t reveal too much new info. But there were two interesting things.
First, they did not show the 5-door model and said it wouldn’t be shown until later this year. For those who can’t wait, here’s a video of it showing off on the Nürburgring:
And a picture of a dealer preview via Autoblog:
Second & actually more surprising, the vehicle they showed actually did have a Land Rover badge on the right-hand side of the rear tailgate. So maybe they aren’t going to forget the brand. I would have put up a screenshot but they still haven’t put up the replay of the video. Here’s a shot posted by Stuart Schorr, Vice President, Communications & Public Affairs, Jaguar Land Rover North America:
Funny thing is, not even a real Range Rover has a rear badge anymore…

And Phil Popham did say it would start at £35,000 – I can’t remember if that was new info or not?
