Land Rover Malaysia has officially launched the Range Rover Evoque – the car arrives in three variant forms, these being a 2.0 litre petrol three-door Coupe as well as two five-door examples, a 2.0 litre petrol version and a 2.2 litre diesel.
The 2.0L Petrol Coupe – specified with a Dynamic Plus package – and the 2.0L Petrol 5-Door Prestige are powered by the 240 PS and 340 Nm Si4 turbocharged engine, with twin variable valve timing. As for the 2.2L Diesel 5-Door, which is also configured in Prestige trim, it wears the 190 PS and 420 Nm version of the SD4 turbodiesel, the same mill as found in the Land Rover Freelander 2.
Both the petrol and diesel engines are matched to the latest generation AW F-21 six-speed automatic transmission with a Rotary Auto Shifter. Performance figures are a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 7.6 seconds for the petrol versions and 8.5 seconds for the diesel, while maximum speed is 217 km/h for the petrol duo and 195 km/h for the diesel job.
Features available across the range include adaptive Xenon headlamps, push-button start, an 8-inch touchscreen with HDD and corresponding 380-watt 11-speaker Meridian audio system, 5-inch driver information full colour display, powered tailgate, rear climate control vents, paddle shifters, cruise control and electronic parking brake, among others.
A full suite of three-letter acronym traction and stability systems are also to be found, and these include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Roll Stability Control (RSC), Traction Control System (TCS), Trailer Stability Assist (TSA), Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control (HDC), Enhanced Understeer Control (EUC), Gradient Release Control (GRC) and Engine Drag torque Control (EDC).
The Coupe has some stuff that’s not to be found on the five-door versions – these are Adaptive Dynamics, a fixed panoramic roof with solar attenuating glass, textured aluminium trim in the interior as well as metal-finish foot pedals.
All three versions come wearing 20-inch alloys, though the Coupe gets what is called Style 7 and the two five-door variants, Style 6 – essentially, they are both the same V-spoke designs, but in different finishes, silver sparkle for the former and shadow chrome for the latter.
The Coupe comes in three exterior shades – Fuji White, Firenze Red and Sumatra Black, with an Agility theme in the White example and a Velocity theme to be found for the latter two colours. The five-door expands the exterior colour palette by two – Orkney Grey and Indus Silver join the trio above. Each is partnered to a matching interior theme, these being called Sprint, Vibe and Element.
Pricing-wise, the CBU Evoque rolls in at RM393,888 for the 2.0L Petrol Coupe Dynamic Plus, while the 2.0L Petrol 5-Door Prestige goes for RM363,888 and the 2.2L Diesel 5-Door Prestige is priced at RM353,888, all on-the-road excluding insurance. It’s apparently going great guns for the SUV – more than 250 bookings were secured for it even before the launch, so if you want one now, be prepared to wait.

Tats what i called a car for real men
nice car
or Posh Beckham
guess some didn’t know this RR represent Victoria Beckham…
Mana boleh panggil hansome and and car for real man…. LOL
Lu ni tau apa tth kete? pakei basikal lah
i test drove the petrol version yesterday – it feels like driving a golf gti! it’s top class – the pedals are so responsive and the power is immediate. when you switch to sports mode – it’s a screamer ( a quieter scream than gti but still a scream). i heard it’s most for people who have to upgrade from a luxury sedan car or hot hatches because they have more people to carry later in life. but i don’t agree with your comment – real men would drive the full size range rover – the 5.0 supercharged one (real asian men would drive the landcruiser – not the prado but the original landcruiser) . the evoque has great 4×4 ability and fancy electronics to control it – just watch the vids. but personally i think the evoque is for fancy people who lives in damansara and pretends they go offroad on their weekends. it’s direct competitors is the Q5 and X3 – and I would choose the Evoque any day.
Which showroom to head to for the petrol version test drive?
Anyways, Evoque’s best compared to Q5 and X3.
a car without a real shifter for a real man?ppfftt!! even a car without a clutch pedal is not for a real man…
Cool car with good price…this will kill the VW and Volvo SUVS :O
RangeRover Evoque: I am sexy and I know it~~~!
Wiggle…. Wiggle… Wiggle…. Yeah!!!!
I only can look at these pictures. So sad. So sad. So sad I couldn’t afford this handsome, gorgeous, nice car!
Life’s a bitch.
i love this~!!!!!
kind a weird design at the back side…it seem the tailgate lamp not very suit to the macho appearance….
I like… Rear needs getting use to.
wow.. really happy with this news! Gonna visit the showroom and book one..
a thumbs down for u bcoz im jealous! haha
Honestly did not expect such prices from Range Rover. I expected at least twice the price. This will sell really well.
this is competitor to sort like BMW X1, what do u think the price? u want it priced like X5 or Cayanne? do some homework pls…
I think the price is not that bad.
‘not that bad’ — hmmm………. it is still bad, is that what you mean?
now, isnt that economical?
does either model come with that optional magnetic dampers which is available as an option in other regions?
The Coupe features Adaptive Dynamics, and the package, I believe, incorporates the BWI MagneRide dampers. Since the 5-Doors don’t have AD, I guess the answer is no for them.
pity it doesn’t come with it. should be an option heard it really helps improve the driving dynamics. also disappointed that the 5-door doesn’t come with the panaromic glass roof.
Nice but too expensive.
Actually it was quite cheap for range rover
Ugly like my dick.
you suck!
haters gonna hate
Pity u hate ur dick. Should try Viagra to lift that saggy skin…
This is one of the best looking Rang Rover yet, even tea time ah pek also like it. Thou I believe purist will hate it. Just like when posh 1st came out a SUV, all posh fan cry foul. And the price is nicely done. We will see a lot more of R.Rove on the road, soon.
Awesome.The price is nicely placed.But it kinda looks small compared to other SUV in the price range like the RX350,Murano and the latest Infiniti.
Although the displacement is very small,but the power (240ps) it gives can really rivals that of RX350 (3.5V6.275bhp) and Murano (3.5V6 265bhp).But the Infiniti comes with a 3.7V6 unit producing 320bhp.But then,it’s 1700cc more than the Evoque.
Safe on roadtax,while still providing nice figures.I think this might be one hell of a contender for the others.
But the exclusivity, I bet Range Rovers turn more heads than X5s. All the more it being the Evoque. The body so flashy (not fleshy). I’d take the Evoque in a heartbeat.
On another note, Mommy!!! why do I only get the Hot Wheels version? ;)
Oi, lu sudah gila ka apa compare ini kereta dengan Murano???
This thing is the size of an X1.
If you are a family with children, not the car for you. If you love your children’s life and use children car seats, then sorry if you are trying to ferry more than 2 kids.
Boot is tiny, will not fit a stroller.
Gorgeous car for the young single and available.
okay my next car will be this.
i think its priced ok…with audi Q5 in mind…and i think it will sell pretty well…finally land rover has a car to appeal to malaysians in mass
drove the diesel Freelander 2 before. wickedly fast. this is no exception since it shares same engine
This SUV is fast overtaking the Q5 as the most desirable baby luxury SUV seeing how the waiting list worldwide is piling up…
Nice to see some AD that has the heart to launch quality cars in our country unlike some who consistantly give us things that we do not really want.
Not-so-rich people will buy Lexus, hoping to drive it for 10 years and then get a good resale value. Really rich people buy vehicles that they love, like this cantiq Evoque.
Damn Straight!
worth the value
Such a great car to see on the road of Malaysia.
Nice. I like.
Korean fanboys, any comments?
For ‘poor man’ SUV below RM200K, Sportage probably is still the best looking (the upcoming CRV may not be better, judging from photo).
For rich man SUV, there are many good looking ones. We really have difficulty in pursuading the really rich men to buy Lexus SUVs in Malaysia.
Sorry, I am not Korean fanperson.
wow, this is wonderful, the pricing is just right. bye bye murano, bye bye RX Harriers and CX5,, haha., especially murano.
Wow! They seriously launch this car in Malaysia. Unbelievable, but I am wondering if CKD lagi murah, even more buyers!
The person who wait for CKD Evoque: this Evoque is not for you. You have not reach that stage yet. Save RM50k for a CKD, are you serious?
I am serious, why u think i am kidding. Let look at BMW 3series, Mercedes C-class EVEN their S-class is CKD!!!!, if it were not for CKD do you think the car price will be cheaper.
If is not for me then how about Mercedes Benz S500 CKD, so u mean those so called “semi-Rich” is not for them?
I mean if there are enough demand why not CKD it? why pay unnecessary tax. Jimmy i seriously doubt your reply, anyone mind “correcting me if I am wrong.
wow,too expensive for poor people like me,but there is 250 rich people already booked.
with so many booking, and limited number of Service Centre…. good luck
the 250 rich people are too busy to taking care their business , so don’t have time reading blog everyday~~
Sexy and voluptuousness. ;)
Another overpriced car for Malaysian Public :(
It’s finally here! And boy, it looks oh-so-sexy!
Cantiq, outstanding, just like an X6.
Price is reasonable.
At least 6 airbags, true?
The local spec list reads “driver and passenger front and rear.” It should well be front dual, side curtains front and rear, and driver’s knee bag, methinks.
RM350k?
i expect more than 500k for range rover
the Freelander 2 is a nice car… but the pricing is too high… at RM271K.. if selling RM230K…will be a hit
It has Kia Forte’s front lights!
This car is 100% reskin Volvo XC60. Compare closely it has the same profile as well. Same engine as well. It is a volvo/ford engine.
OMFG!!! Kereta Anak Jantan…..translate to “A Real Man’s Car”…..
Goodness…. the car is so much more sexier than the two fugly models standing next to it.
Wait, is that purposefully done to make the car looks more outstanding?
That the look of classy ladies.. For classy cars..
If they are selling cheap cars they will use skimpy girls..
Is this an all wheel drive or front wheel?
4WD across the board.
“Si4” and “Sd4” 4 denotes 4 wheel drive
250 booking ? They only have a few service centres.. Can cope ? D issues r long term maintainance, servicing, spare parts, resale value… But nowadays looks like those issues not main criteria for malaysian car buyers anymore .. Just look at d number of audi, bentley, jaguar, lexus, etc…
If you don’t mind about being ‘upper class’, at very much less the price you can get a ‘similar’ good looking and ‘quite generous’ spec of KIA Sportage…but this Rover is definitely a top notch!
..yeah the smart handsome side window look almost similar to Sportage
A really expensive mini countryman
Nice but too expensive..cannot make it RM300K?
It is definitely over price in this segment. The price shall be more attractive than Q5. This car has no 2nd hand value and the service is so so expensive….
What a let down by our local distributor….
not bad, smaller engine compare to the others(murano, harrier &etc.) but the performance figure is nice….
2.0l for 240ps and 340nm…..
save on roadtax…..
u dont buy a 350k car just 2 save on roadtax dumb
xkesh la, lg bgus klu dpt kurgkn kos kn…..
x kire la kete harga 500k ke 1m ke…..
This is a sexy car ! The best out of Range Rover by far … when is the new Ford Escape launching similar design with this car might be lower price.
Does all the Land rover showroom got this car to display?
how to change gears? paddle shift? rotate knob?
knob is for switch between park, R, drive, etc. Gear changes by paddle shift. Can check out the video on Driven Car Reviews, thou he test drove the coupe only.
only stupid people will be thumb down my comment and noob person will be not thumb up, and only awesome people will be like this comment. tq
mahalnya
Probably need some getting used to the rear blindspots, other than that this thing looks awesome!
Worth of money to buy this car then buyin msia PRO-TIN cArSSs….
Doest matter you rich or poor.. everyone have the dream to own a nice luxury car.
If everyone car fly like air asia .. why not same goes to luxury car.. only thing is need to save money to get it.. :)… so start save sumting $$$$ …
Can the 5 doors seat 7?
No.

http://www.landrover.com/us/en/rr/range-rover-evoque/
This is a moving house
just saw this car. loveeeeeeeeeeee it
book mine yesterday.Indeed very happy with range rover evoque. Sadly need to wait about 6 month tho…counting down days…
saw one last week….really a nice suv…..sporty looking, nampak garang……
So sad they didn’t even throw in the reverse camera for that kind of price.
i bought the coupe 1 very nice,but only 1 same problem-the gearbox is a trouble to this car the gear sometimes would not change
she’s hot… but RM390k++.. this car too slow compare to X6, Kah Yen & Q7….
Do the 5 cameras included for the local version?
love this car so much..gonna get it soon! weeehoooo….very sexy and chantik!
find it weird those grey importer are selling evoque:
1) more expensive that authorized dealer
2) one year old car (mostly year 2011)
3) “secretly known” to have tempered mileage
greedy or just pressing luck?
Never go and test drive and i book dy!!! OMG!!! LOL
I love this car it looks beautiful and sexy
From RM 393,888.00 to 409,888.00 for dynamic plus… Good job
This car are sooooooo gorgeous! This is my dream car. I am a girl but i really love this car. I will study hard and become a rich ppl then i will buy this car
