2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque - No Surprises
2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque - Four Seasons Update - June 2012 - Automobile Magazine
Our first few months with our Four Seasons Evoque have been less about shock and more about meeting our (mostly high) expectations.

The Range Rover Evoque is by definition a surprising vehicle: who could have expected such a sultry, sleek vehicle from rugged, no-nonsense Land Rover? That said, our first few months with our Four Seasons Evoque have been less about shock and more about meeting our (mostly high) expectations. "I spent a week with the Evoque and, surprise, surprise, I quite liked it," reports deputy editor Joe DeMatio after his first turn with the car. "The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is pretty much amazing, which is what I remember from driving an Evoque at high speeds last October during our Automobile of the Year testing, where Range Rover snagged an All-Star award."
