Evocation of the Evoque

Behind-​​the-​​scenes skinny on the new Range Rover

The New Range Rover looks like it will be reaching out to a new gener­ation of consumers who have a little envir­on­mental knowledge encoded into their love of the Land Rover brand. We hope that the company manages to stay true to their core whilst facing up to the envir­on­mental imper­atives facing us all.

The new Range certainly looks the part — it seems to have captured the stylish attitude (don’t mention the word bling) created so success­fully in the Range Rover Sport. But the company seems to be making much of its less Macho credentials.

As part of the Evoque launch, Land Rover has produced a series of films that give an in-​​depth look at the design and testing processes used during the Evoque’s devel­opment. Created to coincide with the Car Design News awards (at which the Evoque won Best Production Car), the series includes four individual pieces that focus on the innov­ative tests that the prototype vehicles are put through – including 3D virtual testing, camou­flaged runs and heat resistance in Dubai.

The first video in the series (below) gives a cinematic intro­duction to the Evoque paired with an interview with Land Rover design director Gerry McGovern. It also has some great behind-​​the-​​scenes footage of the designers and engineers at work.

Stay tuned for more inside track in the coming weeks.

    Stunner, to be sure, but I can’t help but notice it bears an uncanny resemb­lance to the Mini Cooper Countryman. Of course, I’m still bleary-​​eyed at the recent Mitsubishi news. ;)

    Brian. You know what? I think you’re right about the Evoque’s looking like the countryman. I’ve never noticed that before. I’ll tweet a compare and contrast pic…

    All it needs now is a Union Jack on the roof, or red side mirrors, right?

    Those Minis! They just keep getting bigger!
