MANILA, Philippines – The smallest version of the Range Rover has arrived in the Philippines.

Land Rover Philippines on Wednesday unveiled the Evoque which, the company said, is "the smallest, lightest and most fuel-efficient Range Rover ever produced."

At 5'5" (height), 6'5" (width) and 14'3" (length), the Evoque boasts of a spacious interior and a sleek, stylish design.

It is available in two versions: a coupe model and a five-door.

“There are many attributes to the car,” said Land Rover Philippines President and Chairman Wellington Soong. “One, it's a very stylish and fashionable car, it has [an] appeal to all genders and to a very, very interesting age spectrum, from 20’s to 60’s.”

The Evoque is equipped with a 240-horsepower, Si4 turbo-charged direct injected four-cylinder engine, and promises to offer additional power and fuel economy.

Together with its 6-speed automatic transmission, Evoque's new engine is said to be able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 20%. It also has a multi-terrain capability, an eight-inch touch screen display and a 360-degree surround camera system.

Soong said their newest special utility vehicle has attracted several of their clients who already own full-size Range Rovers.

“They have expressed that the car is so attractive that they must also own one. It makes a statement by itself in the streets of Manila and I think it’s a very, very encouraging indicator,” he said.

The Evoque was first launched in September last year and has garnered a number of awards, such as 4x4 of the Year by Britain's 4x4 Magazine.
