Range Rover Evoque on the streets of KL – Nov launch!

Range Rover Evoque on the streets of KL – Nov launch!

Looks like things are winding towards the Range Rover Evoque’s launch in Malaysia; the SUV has been spotted parked in some locations, and now on the road – reader Ken snapped this photo of the vehicle, which he says is a 2.2 diesel example, near Universiti Malaya.

The car – which was teased here in two wireframe installation displays in May – will be getting its official launch early next month, we hear. Three variants will be available, a 240 hp and 340 Nm 2.0 litre petrol three-door Coupe and five-door examples in both 2.0 litre petrol and 2.2 litre diesel guise. The diesel will be the 190 PS and 420 Nm version.

There’s a choice of four external colours – Fuji White, Sumatra Black, Orkney Grey and Indus Silver – to pick from, and the five-door gets four interior colour choices while the Coupe gets two. We also hear that the first batch of vehicles have already been snapped up!

    I hope the price would be around RM300k to RM400k. That would be great.

      • The Evoque is a competitor to the X3. It’s much smaller than the X5… ;)

    Is this 2.2 Diesel the same (or related) as the to be launched Ford Ranger 2.2 Diesel engine?

    • No, it’s the same SD4 engine that powers the Freelander 2. It’s a Peugeot sourced engine.

    a great car costing under 28,000 pounds in the UK, with current exchange rate, it would just cost abt 150k here…. but dream on fellow motorists here. Gomen here will tax left n right, tax also the number of alphabets to spell this great car, tax the number of times u signal right versus left…. which will end up costing this car well into the 300k plus range. logic? justifiable? make sense? just make a lot of cow sense to car enthusiasts

    Looking forward to this. Probably the sexiest looking SUV around. BTW Range Rover has no relation to Ford whatsoever. One British, the other American though most Ford cars are designed and engineered in Germany. But not the same engine. They so happen to have the same Malaysian distributor and that is the only similarity as far as I know.

      Its a FORD/PEUGEOT developed engine. Land ROver got the engine when Ford bought the company, now Tata own it.

      Same engine in upcoming Ranger, Freelander, Ford Transit, MAzda 2, 3 and various other Peugeot, Citroen.

    I believed these all will come with at least 6 airbags if not 12. And with the strong body, with help protect the driver and all passengers.

  • Hmm the customization options is not as diverse as you get from other countries. We can only choose from such little colors, cannot choose contrasting roof colors, and cannot choose the designs on the center console.
