The new Range Rover Evoque hits Paris in style

Range Rover Evoque - Side View

It’s pretty hard to see the differences between the production version of the Range Rover Evoque to the LRX concept car – a significant evolution from the traditional design cues of the past.

The most bold element of this design is the dramatic rise of its beltline, running the length of the car, originating from a unique fender vent that appears connected with the front lamps, ‘behind’ the front wheel arch. As a result the overall feeling from this cross-coupe brings about a directional forceful stance, contrasting the more classical ‘upright’ functional appearance.
