Style makes driving the 2020 Range Rover Evoque like carrying a designer handbag, but even better.
Range Rover, the name itself, evokes (Evoque?) thoughts of luxury to everyone around them. Driving them, driving past them, seeing them in the mall parking lot, it’s like getting to be near or own a luxury handbag. The design of the Evoque is unlike any other compact SUV on the market, it is the introduction to the ultimate luxury SUV available. It’s for those who yearn for a Range Rover SV Autobiography ‘someday’ but aren’t ready for that $178,500 USD price tag that goes along with it.
What We Loved About the 2020 Range Rover Evoque

Not only is it functional and safe, but it also looks and feels like a million bucks. The Range Rover brand is historically luxurious and the body style speaks for itself.
