Placed in the exclusive Kensington and Chelsea suburbs of the British capital, the three 1.1 scale wire art forms, finished in copper, blue and red, falls in-line with the series of spy images seen over the last few months, with the figurines being described as the “embodiment of Range Rover’s modernist design approach” by Land Rover Chief Design Officer, Gerry McGovern.

To this end, the Evoque will take after the Velar aesthetically, but retain the Ford sourced D8 platform unlike the next generation Discovery Sport. The interior will however mirror that of its bigger sibling and feature the retractable Touch Pro Duo infotainment system, the digital display panel mounted underneath, a digital instrument cluster, the same steering wheel and perhaps most surprisingly, retention of the gear lever as opposed to the rotary selector dial.

Expected to be offered as a five-door only with the three-door having been dropped and the future of the controversial convertible uncertain, the Evoque will come powered by Jaguar Land Rover’s range Ingenium turbo-petrol and turbodiesel engines, the former including a brand-new 1.5-litre three-cylinder combined with an electric motor for a plug-in hybrid setup.

Confirmed for South African introduction in early 2019, chances are that more details will emerge leading up to its unveiling.
