The Range Rover Evoque wins its 101st Global Award
We’re delighted to announce that the Range Rover Evoque has been crowned World Design Car of the Year 2012, bringing the Range Rover Evoque’s awards tally to a grand total of 101 global accolades. This prestigious award is testament to the vehicle’s ground-breaking and unique design and recognises the fact that the dynamic new Range Rover has created a new segment of the market to world-wide acclaim.
The Range Rover Evoque was shortlisted from an original 46 nominations and beat off stiff competition from the two other finalists – the Citroen DS5 and the Volkswagen Up! A design panel of five highly respected world design experts decided on the shortlist, which was then voted on by each of the 66 World Car Jurors. The jurors are all highly respected, top-level automotive journalists and come from 25 separate countries.
One of the five panel expert was Silvia Baruffaldi, Managing Editor of Auto & Design magazine, who said: “True to the concept car it derives from, it is a contemporary automotive design masterpiece. Besides not having equals on the markets, it is able to deliver the Land Rover DNA in a more compact, sporty bodystyle. A premium product without the bad habit of showing off.”
The Range Rover Evoque’s award winning design is matched by its class-leading performance with dynamic and agile handling across all terrains plus innovative Range Rover technologies, including Terrain Response, dual-view touch screen, surround camera system and an array of personalisation options to suit customer needs.
