Land Rover LRX Concept

Motor Trend lists as 2wd only.

Multiple sources (Autoweek, MSN Autos, Car and Driver, Automobile Magazine, Inside Line, etc.) all say the US will get both a 2WD and 4WD/AWD version.

Here's one: LandRover's Press Release (Dated 22 Sep 10)

"The Evoque will be the first Range Rover to offer customers a choice between a full-time four-wheel-drive system, which delivers outstanding performance and traction on all surfaces, and an even lower carbon, front-wheel-drive option for further enhanced fuel economy."

Sorry there VT; but 100% of all Range Rover - EVOQUE vehicles exported to the USA will only be AWD/4WD, as the 2WD version will NOT be available for sale in the USA. Instead of a traditional transfer case shift lever, there is Push-Button "Terrain Type" functions (i.e. Normal Mode push-button; Gravel/Snow push-button; Mud/Ruts push-button; Sand push-button).

Hat's off to Range Rover for making a cool lookin' 2-Door Coupe (and available 4-door) in the new EVOQUE. Although the price of admission is very expensive!!!

Nice work Riff, you criticized a post that was made 9 months before the Evoque was actually available to "Build" on Land Rover's website. Those sources were all that was available at the time, and they all pointed to a 2WD US model. But I guess you're right.

Kind of has an Axiom and Ford Edge flavor, only much better....me REALLY likey!!
Too bad Land Rover's reliability is so notoriously terrible...I'm afraid of getting stuck out in the boonies ....ya know, where I LIVE, and closest dealer 100 miles away . We sold our D90 just when stuff was going South.

Now that it's made by Tata motors, I'm sure reliability is going to be better. Plus, that has so much in common with these racks you are famous for Kat.
