Evoque [Renders] 2017 Range Rover Grand Evoque

[tristatez28lt1]

Autobild is reporting that RR is working on a 7 seat version of the Evoque to close the niche to the Range Rover Sport.

Honestly... That makes zero sense. The whole point of the evoque was to be the mini Range Rover for those who couldn't afford a sport or full-size Range Rover. To make a bigger evoque is virtually akin to making another Range Rover. What is the price going to be? If it's going to a few thousands more than a base sport, you might as well buy the sport. What is the point of the lr4 then? Just the big ugly stepsister that no ones wants to date but only use? If the only reason they're making it is for the seven seats, I hope it's going to big and not ugly, and the seats comfortable.

I think you'll find this actually made sense and we can see what a fantastic looking vehicle JLR designed to fill the gap in the range, the Velar is this car made real.

A larger Evoque would be welcomed by many who find the Evoque to be too small and the spacious Land Rovers not cool enough. One can argue that the F-Pace is a good alternative but Range Rover is such a strong brand that to some, there are few alternatives.

Did you miss the Velar Centurion, it's basically the Grand Evogue but on a much better platform.

True. It is and it's starting price will be within reach for customers of heavily specced Evoques. with that being said, a large evoque will indeed be redundant.

Hmm. I think the two Discovery models fulfils the need for a seven seat capability. With the Grand Evoque eventually morphing into the Velar. Which was not bad a thing when you think about it?
I wonder what they will do next... A Range Rover Sedan? Or Coupe?
Do you think a Range Rover SAC would work?

It seems to be a "Velar-size"...

There is no such thing as a Grand Evoque.

There is no such thing as a Grand Evoque.

GrandEvoque is the Velar.

GrandEvoque is the Velar.

GrandEvoque is the Discovery sport - same transverse drivetrain and a 7 seat option

I know to someone that is working in project "Grand Evoque" and isn't Velar.
