First Range Rover Evoque Delivered

The much anticipated and talked about new Range Rover Evoque will be available at Land Rover dealerships from this week. Even before first deliveries have commenced the Range Rover Evoque is being hailed as a huge success, with over 20,000 pre orders already placed globally. Over 6,000 orders for the Evoque have been placed in the UK alone. 

Zara Phillips, a Land Rover Ambassador was the first person in the UK to receive her keys to her new Evoque. Zara was competing in the land Rover-sponsored Burghley Horse Trials, so it was fitting that her new car was handed over to her then. She drove the Evoque home from the show ground in Burghley.

Zara's Range Rover Evoque is a 5 seat model in Stornaway Grey, with the Land Rover 2.2 litre Diesel engine, 6 speed automatic transmission, panoramic sunroof and other features such as park assist, blind spot monitoring and a surround camera system. 

Land Rover UK Marketing Director, Laura Schwab said "Zara has been excited about the new Evoque ever since we revealed the first pictures over a year ago and indeed she was one of the very first people to order one. We have a huge presence at Burghley this year, with over 60 Land Rover vehicles in action at the event. It therefore seemed fitting that our first Evoque handover took place here."

Zara was ecstatic about being the first person to get an Evoque delivered, she said, "I've grown up around Land Rovers and have been an ambassador for the brand for several years – I am really looking forward to getting behind the wheel of my new Evoque. It looks absolutely fantastic and I am delighted to be the first person in the UK to take delivery of one."

Customers who have pre-ordered the Evoque will get their cars delivered from the 9^th of September onwards. Unfortunately I am not one of those lucky people! If I was I would be very excited and looking forward to driving such a revolutionary model in the Land Rover Range Rover line-up.
