Land Rover Malaysia Launches New 2014 Range Rover Evoque

Kuala Lumpur, 11 April 2014 - Land Rover (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd has launched the new 2014 Range Rover Evoque with enhanced features - all set to lure and entice Land Rover lovers and customers in the premium sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment.

Range Rover Evoque, which made its debut in 2011, has been a worldwide success chalking up global sales of 124,292 and 105,648 units in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Since the introduction of the Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Malaysia has also charted impressive growth with 1,003 units registered in 2013, the best ever sales achieved since 1997. In 1997, Land Rover Malaysia's sales figures were boosted by the legendary Defender, which was the "staple" four wheel vehicle used by the armed forces and the police.

The record-breaking figures have been achieved due to the Range Rover Evoque's sophisticated and distinctive styling, excellent performance and handling on all terrains as well as its fuel efficiency. The Range Rover Evoque Diesel can travel 100km with a mere 5.7 litres of fuel and was awarded with the Asian Auto Fuel Efficiency Award for 2011/2012.    

With its distinctive styling and extraordinary performance, the Range Rover Evoque has opened up a whole new market for Land Rover. This model pairs the premium branding of  the Range Rover with unparalleled all road performance. 

The features of the new 2014 Range Rover Evoque include  the 9-Speed automatic transmission, perpendicular parking among other features, which  are very much relevant in the premium luxury segment. 

The new 2014 Range Rover Evoque's 9-Speed automatic transmission is a significant upgrade from its predecessor. The new 9-Speed auto transmission ensures smoother driving, better fuel economy and enhanced all-round performance. The smoother ride is definitely a plus especially in the premium segment while the keyless entry feature provides users with a greater ease and efficiency. All these features are above and beyond the features of the current Range Rover Evoque. With the enhanced package, customers will get to experience another level or refinement, performance and luxury.

The vehicle retains all features that have endeared the Range Rover Evoque to its customers. The new 2014 Range Rover  Evoque features Perpendicular Parking, Exit Parking and Parallel Parking giving drivers' confidence in any and every situation. This is a feature that will be appreciated, especially in an urban setting. This feature would enable the driver to park easily as it identifies if the parking space is sufficient for the vehicle and the maneuvering of the vehicle is automated. However, the driver has full control of the vehicle movement with the brake and acccelaration.  When this feature is coupled with the Surround Camera, it ensures the greatest level of safety and maneuverability

Mr. Syed Mudzhar Syed Ali, the Managing Director of LRM, is optimistic that the enhanced version of the Range Rover Evoque will be well received by the market. 

"The Range Rover Evoque has been a game changer for the Land Rover brand in Malaysia. With this enhanced new 2014 Range Rover Evoque, we are confident that we will continue to win a significant market share in the premium SUV segment," Syed Mudzhar said.
