Range Rover Evoque Black Edition - For A Select Few

Range Rover Evoque Black Edition - For A Select Few

Date: 2013-10-04
With 129 awards and over 170 000 global sales, the Range Rover Evoque is an undisputed success story, and two years after its South African launch it remains the benchmark for style, now even more so.

Land Rover South Africa has introduced a special Black Edition of the svelte SUV, taking the stylish persona of the compact all-roader to a new level. If you aim to stand out from the crowd an Evoque is already a hard act to follow, but the Black Edition guarantees success in this regard. With distinctive exterior detailing and a choice of any colour you like (as long as it is from the timeless trio of black, metallic grey or white), the Black Edition redefines chic.

Just 30 of these distinctive cross-roaders are available, all built to the Dynamic 5-dr specification level with a choice of the beefy, 177kW Si4 2,0-litre petrol engine, or the hearty, SD4 2,2-litre turbodiesel rated at 140kW. Both are mated to a six-speed transmission.

Apart from the colour palette of Santorini Black, Orkney Grey or Fuji White, further stand-out features of the Black Edition are 20-inch glossy black forged (rather than merely cast) nine-spoke alloy wheels and the Santorini Black contrast roof. Upper strata street-cred gets ratcheted up still further thanks to darkened front headlamps and foglamps, while the rear lamps of the Black edition models are similarly unique, and have clear lenses.

At the time of its global launch, Land Rover Design Director Gerry McGovern said: "The unique design of the Evoque will attract a new generation of Range Rover customers who have never considered an SUV before, such as premium coup€ buyers who would like to make a bold new statement."

The last two years have proved him right.
