Ever since Motor Trend magazine named the 2012 Range Rover Evoque its SUV of the year, I’ve been eager to slide behind the wheel of this British import.
Actually, the Evoque is something of a citizen of the world. Assembled in Halewood, England, it includes an engine made in Spain and a transmission manufactured in Japan.
After test-driving a Fuji White Evoque from Land Rover Chattanooga, I now know what all the fuss was about.
The Evoque is simply one of most luxurious, fun-to-drive small SUVs on the road.
