The 2012 Range Rover Evoque has Been Named the SUV of the Year

Esquire magazine recently bestowed the honor on the Land Rover luxury SUV.

/EINPresswire.com/ Land Rover Hoffman Estates has long been at the top of the heap among Chicagoland auto dealerships, offering drivers Land Rover's full lineup of luxury SUVs alongside an extensive inventory of pre-owned models from a number of automakers. They know that their vehicles represent the top tier of the SUV segment, and it should come as no surprise, given Land Rover's pedigree of quality, luxury, and style, that the 2012 Range Rover Evoque has been named the SUV of the Year by Esquire Magazine.

The 2012 Esquire Car Awards subject numerous vehicles to drives along roadways all over the country in an attempt to identify the best of the best. This year's conclusions were announced in the September 18, 2012 print edition of Esquire, and it should come as no surprise to anyone who's spent some time behind the wheel of one that the 2012 Range Rover Evoque was at the top of the list in the SUV category.

The magazine's writeup of the award notes that "The Evoque is proof that SUVs can be stylish, forward, and elegant…. and make you feel like a king."

While the new Range Rover Evoque stays true to the qualities that have kept Land Rover at the top in terms of SUV manufacturers — namely, luxury, stout off-road capability, and strong performance — it's also the lightest, most fuel-efficient Range Rover ever to hit the market. It's capable of achieving an EPA-estimated 18 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway — proof that comfort and capability needn't be sacrificed for the sake of great fuel economy.

The Evoque is available in two body styles: a coupe (starting at $44,995) and a five-door model (starting at $43,995). Each one features all-wheel drive, along with a 240-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine that comes paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Land Rover Hoffman Estates is pleased that the new Range Rover Evoque has garnered the recognition that it deserves. Interested drivers should visit their dealership and take a test drive to see firsthand what this, and the rest of Land Rover's stellar lineup of luxury SUVs, has to offer.
