John Winchester, vehicle engineering manager, Jaguar Land Rover MENA, confirmed to Arab News that the Range Rover Evoque has been extensively tested in the region and has been subjected to exactly the same punishing test and development regime as all other Range Rover models.

Winchester said that the Range Rover Evoque :is clearly a new kind of Range Rover that still delivers class leading off road performance, levels of comfort and refinement that you would expect from a Range Rover product.”
