Range Rover Evoque takes centre stage with Harvey Nichols and Guy Salmon Land Rover Bristol

The all-new Range Rover Evoque – one of this season’s must-have motoring style statements – was the star of a glamorous VIP fashion show held in partnership with Harvey Nichols on 13th September.

The event, hosted by the international luxury goods retailer and Guy Salmon Bristol, treated guests to a champagne reception and exclusive fashion show at M Shed featuring the hottest fashions about to hit the streets.

Following the event Colin Isaacs, Dealer Principal at Guy Salmon Bristol commented: “The arrival of the Range Rover Evoque has been hotly anticipated by design-conscious drivers, so it seemed fitting to mark the occasion with a special event that complemented its elegant looks.”

“Despite some stiff competition from the outfits and accessories being worn by both guests and the models on the catwalk, the Range Rover Evoque’s concept car looks and interior craftsmanship made it the undisputed star of the show.”

The all-new Range Rover Evoque, which went on sale on Friday, 9th September, is available in three core design themes - from the cool and contemporary ‘Pure’, to the bold and sporting ‘Dynamic’ and the luxurious ‘Prestige’ package - each of which define styling, interior comfort and equipment levels.

Customers have the opportunity to tailor the Range Rover Evoque to suit their lifestyle using an array of options. A wide range of colour and feature combinations are available, including contrasting roof colours, beautifully crafted designer interiors and sound systems, developed with audio specialist Meridian.

Colin Isaacs added: “The Range Rover Evoque is a cutting edge model that defines a new market segment for luxury, compact sports utility vehicles.  “From the reaction of our guests, I have no doubt that it will attract fashion-forward customers who demand a vehicle that is as breath-taking to look at as it is to drive.”

Range Rover Evoque drivers can choose from either 2WD or 4WD - both of which have been engineered to deliver agility and precise steering – as well as a range of engines including a 150ps 2.2 litre turbo diesel eD4 engine that delivers less than 129g/km CO2 (in front-wheel-drive coupé form) and a 190ps SD4 version which gets from 0-60mph in 8.0 seconds (when equipped with the automatic gearbox).

The Range Rover Evoque offers desirable sophistication and is priced from £27,955 for an eD4 ‘Pure’ 5-door model (equipped with 6 speed manual gearbox and two–wheel drive) to £44,320 for a top-of-the-range Si4 ‘Dynamic’ coupé (equipped with 6 speed automatic gearbox and LUX pack).

Range of fuel economy figures for the Range Rover Evoque in MPG (L/100KM): Urban 23.7 (11.9) - 47.9 (5.9), Extra Urban 40.9 (6.9) - 62.8 (4.5), Combined 32.5 (8.7) - 57.6 (4.9) and CO2 Emissions 129 - 199 G/KM.
