Range Rover Evoque five-door revealed

Back in September Range Rover showed us the three-door version of the Evoque, now they’re pushing the five-door upon us. The car will be on show at the LA Auto Show next week and you’ll have to wait until mid 2011 to see one at your local showroom. Actually, you might have to wait a few months longer for them to see one Australia.

Initially we were a bit critical of the Evoque, simply because, surely, the world doesn’t need another soft-roader. However, after getting a close look at the three-door at the recent motor show in Sydney we had to admit the Evoque really does look quite good.

If the Evoque tickles your fancy too, then there’s plenty of detail for you after the break.

Range Rover Evoque gets early showing

Well-to-do urban hipsters of the world are smiling today following the release of new information from Range Rover about the company’s “smallest, lightest, most fuel-efficient Range Rover ever.”

You and I will call it the Evoque, but the hipsters will probably stick with SLMFERRE. The Evoque will have its first public showing in Paris at the end of the month.

Does the world really need a new two-door urban assault vehicle, or do Range Rover simply need to lower the emissions output of their fleet? You be the judge.

Secretly, though, it does look pretty cool, don’t you think? But don’t tell anyone. And if you do want to save some shred of credibility, don’t, under any circumstances, get the front-wheel drive version.

Full details after the break.
