2012 Motor Trend SUV of the Year: Land Rover Range Rover Evoque
Form, Function, Finesse: A Brave New Land Rover Conquers a Greener Frontier
In the enthusiast's dream, all sports cars have manual transmissions and all SUVs are body-on-frame. But as so often is the case, reality does not intersect with our fantasies. Ferraris -- save for one -- no longer have manual transmissions, and car-based crossovers are rapidly pushing traditional SUVs to the brink of extinction. In a world that appears increasingly hostile to an all-SUV brand like Land Rover, adaptation is the only option. Some adaptations are failures. Others are Motor Trend Sport/Utility of the Year winners. The Range Rover Evoque is most certainly the latter.

But how? The Evoque is, after all, based on the Land Rover LR2, a vehicle many of you would be surprised to learn is still on sale today. Just as the LR2 was an impressive improvement on the Freelander, the Evoque is an evolutionary leap over the LR2. Though we can confirm that Land Rover did not consult us on the Evoque's development, you'd be forgiven for wondering if the R&D team used our six criteria as guidelines, as the vehicle satisfies each one so completely.

Looks good in that pic.

How can anyone with a straight face say "ya, that over priced Ford Edge looks great!" ?!

how?

The edge is so generic looking. This has more style and refinement. So what if it costs more. It's supposed to.

Looks great! there, I said it lol!

:::::facepalm::::

no wonder Lexus did so well! LOL

If they offered better engine options than it would be great

It does look great. I wish it had more engine options as well but hopefully they are coming.

Lexus may be boring but my husband has put 200K miles on his in 3.5 yrs. and had it in the shop once.

Try that with a Ford.

I didnt see this coming.
