Range Rover Evoque wins in Scotland



The Range Rover Evoque was the overwhelming victor of the Scottish Car of the Year awards yesterday by the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers, writes Trish Whelan.

The Evoque also took the Best Compact SUV award.

Land Rover is no stranger to success in the Scottish Car of the Year awards as the Discovery 4 was voted top of the Scots in 2009.

Land Rover's sister brand, Jaguar, picked up the prize for Best Sports car for their XKR-S model, Best Diesel for the XF and Jaguar's iconic E-type was awarded Most Iconic Vehicle of the last 50 years.

The newly launched Hyundai i40 Tourer took Best Estate Car at the same awards, the all-new Ford Focus won Best Family Car, while the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet was crowned Open-top Car of the Year.

SEAT are celebrating on the double with the Ibiza E Ecomotive taking the Eco Award and its seven-seat Alhambra picking up the MPV of the Year title.
