More details of Evoque revealed

Land Rover has issued its first pictures of the interior of the new Range Rover Evoque, which will debut at Paris.

The car was first shown to an invited audience at Kensington Palace, London, last month, but only the exterior was visible.

The compact crossover will have CO2 emissions as low as 130g/km and is expected to win a new profile of customer to the Range Rover brand.

The Evoque will be the first Range Rover to offer customers a choice between a full-time four-wheel-drive system and a lower carbon, front-wheel-drive option.

A 150hp diesel will be among the powertrain options. In AWD form it offers emissions of 145g/km.

A brand new 2.0 petrol engine will have a power output of 240hp and a 0-100 km/h capability of 7.1 seconds.

Available for sale from summer of 2011, prices in the UK will start from £30,000. Irish prices and delivery are not yet available.
