Land Rover is celebrating one year of Range Rover Evoque production, with employees at JLR’s Halewood manufacturing site, where the crossover is brought to life, being proud of their work.
The carmaker had already received 18,000 advance orders for the Evoque when the first unit rolled off the production line, with the interest for the vehicle continuing to grow - the Evoque has managed to sell almost 80,000 units in just nine months. 75 percent of the Evoque’s production is exported to over 170 global markets.
We drove the Evoque last year - here’s a quote from our test drive: “Remember all those times when you spent so much time contemplating the lines of a concept car and wondered why automakers never strap a set of number plates to it and bring it on the road instead of diluting its spirit in the process? The Range Rover Evoque is the painkiller for all that suffering - there are roughly no visual differences between the car we drove and the LRX concept it is based on, with the later itself being a member of the bold design society.”
