And one more thing is, when it is about cars, we Indians love the SUVs. Now coming to our topic today the luxury SUVs in India has taken a toll recently.

Land Rover started their unique promotional campaign for the upcoming Range Rover Evoque convertible already. The British auto manufacturer has placed full sized ‘wireframe’ sculptures of their upcoming car Evoque Convertible at some of the iconic streets of London.

The Bespoke structures were placed before some of the iconic London locations which includes Harrods department store on Brompton Road, Knightsbridge and in notable Mayfair addresses. These particular wiresframe sculptures were designed by Land Rover’s very own Design team using advanced computer modeling to actually accurately create the shape of their upcoming Evoque convertible.

Land Rover created a total of six wire frames structures which were then positioned at different places which will give people a chance to actually see and get an idea of how this car will look in its natural environment. These 1:1 structures also have 3D wheels and even front and rear seats. These wireframes will also begin global tour to attract attention of people until Land Rover introduced the Evoque Convertible in November.

Gerry McGovern, Land Rover Design Director and Chief Creative Officer, said: "The Range Rover Evoque Convertible is perfectly suited to the urban surroundings of a city like London and it’s the perfect place to showcase the world’s first luxury compact SUV convertible. The locations chosen reflect the refined and luxurious lifestyle of an Evoque Convertible customer - two attributes this vehicle delivers in abundance."

Ever since, the government of India brought in the import policy reforms, international car makers have had a tough time of selling their products at reasonable prices. The high import taxes meant, the government wanted to promote local production. However, setting up a standalone factory to mass produce luxury cars isn’t as simple as it sounds.

It takes years, before a stage is reached where the rising demand and competition dictates the price of the products. Jaguar-Land Rover has now reached a phase where the demand for their products has skyrocketed. To keep up with the competition, mostly the Germans who already have a stable base here in India, JLR began assembling select models locally.

Next up for local production will be the Jaguar XJ limousine, as mentioned by Dr. Ralph Speth, CEO Jaguar-Land Rover. But, before we get a "made-in-India" XJ, the Range Rover Evoque will be brought in as CKD which will help JLR revise the price of the popular SUV.

Jaguar Land Rover has made huge investments to setup more volumes here in India. Their commitment towards the Indian market has paid off as the brand grew by 21 percent, making it the fastest growing luxury brand in the country. Having said that, there is still a long way to go for the British marques as it still lacks the sheer volumes of the German brands.

With the launch of the updated Range Rover Evoque, it is clear that the boffins at Land Rover couldn’t update any aspect of the design. Why? Simply because it’s perfect. Though the car was launched way back in 2011, even today the design takes our breath away. So, they thought that it was best to stick to a design that has garnered more attention than any Range Rover has.

The launch of the Evoque in the Indian market was a very warm one with people being astounded as to how its design decimated the dreary cars that people commonly see on any road. Whenever it passed by, it was indeed quite the head turner. And since some people like to look appealing, why not do it in style with an Evoque.

Okay, we should stop talking about the design now because while some people were blown off by it, there are many others who did find some aspects of the previous Evoque quite a bit disappointing.

A new entry to the Dakar Rally this year would be the Desert Warrior 3 which is a Range Rover Evoque based rally raid car. Prepared by British company RaBe Race Cars, this special Evoque would take part in the iconic Dakar rally in South America. There would be 3 Evoques which would be entered in the off road rally and would be driven by Martin Rowe, John Hardy and Andrew Coley. The all British Rally team would be entered by Excite Rallye Raid and the team was recently testing the SUV in Holland. In a statement by driver John Hardy, “The vehicle has a real presence. It’s very well put-together, it’s strong and rugged.” “The thought and attention to detail is mind-blowing; all the dials are at eye level, all the switches are where they need to be and the space in the cockpit will be critical as we’ll be spending hours strapped in.”

When the Land Rover LRX was showcased at the North American International Auto Show, most thought that this was only to catch the attention of the show goers. Purely a figment of the designer’s imagination, many thought. Land Rover however had other ideas in mind and when theEvoque made it into production it signalled a direction change for the manufacturer. The Evoque is a new car, for a new customer from a manufacturer which is trying to reinvent itself. The Evoque as the name suggests aims to deliver all the desirability of a Range Rover with more style. With prices starting from Rs45,54,953 to Rs53,07,456 for the diesel and Rs58,06,887 for the petrol ex-showroom New Delhi, will the Evoque be able to make an impression in the Indian market?

Land Rover is cashing in on the success of the Evoque and the company is planning a bigger version of the SUV to continue the brand’s growth. The new model is likely to be positioned between the Evoque and the Range Rover and will use the LR-MS architecture which is the same used on the current Evoque and also on the Freelander.

The increase is size should improve the interior and boot space and Land Rover might add a slightly different look and character to the new model. The ‘Grand Evoque’ would compete with the BMW X and Audi Q models. The current Evoque has only two rows of seats and the new model could well add another row. Reports suggest the Evoque will be ready for a launch in 2015. The Evoque on sale in India uses a 2-litre petrol and a 2.2-litre diesel engine and prices start from Rs45,54,953 to Rs 58,06,887.

The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has been named the Car Of The Year for 2011 by Top Gear magazine in the SUV category. Launched in July 2011, the Range Rover Evoque departs from the classic body on frame design used by Land Rover for it’s off road vehicles and this SUV fought off competition from the likes of the Ferrari FF, McLaren MP4-12C, BMW 1Series M Coupe amongst other.

Numbers notwithstanding, the Range Rover Evoque which is now launched in India is sure to create the same excitement as it did when it was launched globally. The coupe variant gets a petrol engine while the 5 door variant gets a diesel unit. The Range Rover Evoque (5 door) is available in three trim levels and the Coupe is available only in the Dynamic version.

The standard features of the Range Rover Evoque is include a 8’ inch high resolution touch screen, Bluetooth connectivity with audio streaming, 11 speaker Meridian Audio Sound system, cruise control, terrain response, interior mood lighting, paddle shifters on the steering wheel and full-size panoramic glass sunroof.

The 2-litre petrol turbo engine produces 237 Hp and the 2.2 common rail engine develops 187 hp. The engines are mated to a six speed automatic transmission that sends the power to the four wheel drive system.

At the launch ceremony, Mr. P.M.Telang, Managing Director - India Operations, Tata Motors said, "The Range Rover Evoque is a very important addition to the Land Rover and Range Rover product portfolio and I am delighted to be present at such a significant launch. This car has excited audiences across the world and we expect the same from the discerning Indian customers."
