We just received the first official photo of the all-new Range Rover Evoque, which is the production version of the LRX Concept. We're still gathering details so stay tuned on Carscoop for more.
[Update] This here is the all-new Range Rover Evoque, a compact SUV that we came to know as the Land Rover LRX, which was the concept version that previewed the production model. Land Rover unveiled its new 'baby' SUV at an exclusive event in London for guests attending a 40th birthday celebration of Range Rover held with VOGUE magazine.
The new Range Rover Evoque has remained remarkably true to the LRX show car as the only visible differences concern some minor details such as the exposed door handles and the larger (and apparently far more practical for everyday use) exterior mirrors.
"The all-new Range Rover Evoque is an important step for the future continued success and growth of the brand," said Phil Popham, managing director of Land Rover.
"Customers can be confident that the new car will be premium, luxurious and just as special as the other Range Rover models. Its sporting looks and unique qualities will open the brand to a new group of customers who may not have considered a Range Rover product before," Popham added.
Aside from the three-door model unveiled today, Land Rover will also add a five-door body style to the lineup. The company hasn't released many details on the SUV, but it has confirmed that it will be available in front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
According to Land Rover, the 2WD drive model will emit less than 130g/km of CO2 making it the 'greenest' and most fuel efficient Range Rover ever.
The Range Rover Evoque will make its global public debut at the Paris Motor Show at the end of September and will go on sale in Europe in the summer of 2011 and in North America and other markets in the fall of the same year.
The all-new Range Rover Evoque will be built at Land Rover's plant in Halewood, with the company stating that it will create 1,000 new jobs in the Merseyside area.

Land Rover should be applauded, the production car or 4x4 is almost identical to the concept. Yay Land Rover.
I wonder how many retarded fotballer are going to buy this car?
Pointless eye-candy trading on LR name - will be favoured by trendies looking to trade up from their minis. Yuk.
I'm not a retarded "fotballer" but I would probably buy it. Looks nice. Now, if only the reliability can be as nice...
The rims resemble those in the Citroën C6 and C5.
A refreshing bold design, however this is the reality of the RR Evoque brand values (some clear pics of the vehicle here too!):

The debate begins....
any shots of the interior?
wow true to the concept - thought it would end up looking nothing like it... Well done!! This will be a successful car.. I love the design..
wow!!....t's almost lyk d concept....kudos LR
im not a retarded fotballer and i dont watch fotball... but i like it!
Well, Range Rover has jumped the shark. This thing takes a lot of RR design cues and jacks them up in a wedgy shape. Basically prostituting what they had toward a no practicality (opposite of RR's original basic idea), all for some kind of pretentious show, kind of vehicle. It's a British VehiCROSS. Bleahh. A little edgy wedgy shape perched on giant wheels, not a serious, if luxurious, vehicle like other RR's.
IT'S GORGEOUS
I can't believe the pics shown are for the production model!
having said that would anyone actually dare take this thing offroading even if it were capable?
is LR too off its own mark???
--JORGE
Range Rover has delivered what it has initially promised... a trendy soft-roader named Evoque... a name to evoke the memories of past Range Rover SUVs fused with snazzy design...
It looks good... and I am not a fan to SUVs and such...
Its a beautiful design almost close to concept. But reliabilty??
It is the rubbish, trendy thing. Like VB (she is hollow person).
People, open your eyes, please! And do not give your money for nothing.
Also I'm sure the visibility out of those gun slits is just great.
One good thing about all previous RRs is looking out all the big picture windows, while sitting in clubby Britishness, in a vehicle that can go anywhere just in case you might need it to.
At least the little Aston Martin/Toyota is kinda amusing.
It is uncomfortable to have only 2 doors. Did it really become so small? As for the rest, the car looks cute! It would be great to improve technical characteristics, because I have to fix my RR all the time: FEDP - fix it every day product...
WOW!! i'm really impressed by the design i love it!! range rover was never close to my radar but i would buy this in a heart beat, as long as the specs and reliability are as amazing as the looks. very well done i'm surely looking forward for this one, its something different than same old design you see every day on the road very unique and that makes me want it more
A 2WD Range Rover the size of a toy car? Are you effing kidding me?
It is idiotic to hijack the Range Rover name for this, it should have been branded as something else.
Très très bien. J'adore
eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
i am sheerin
