EVOQUE is NA Truck of the Year

Friday, February 17, 2012

THE new 2012 Range Rover Evoque has been named the 2012 North American Truck of the Year. The announcement was made on January 9th, 2012 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The 2012 Range Rover Evoque was selected over two other finalists, the BMW X3 and the Honda CR-V, based on the following categories: value for the dollar, innovation, handling, performance, safety and driver satisfaction.

"We are honoured that the all-new Range Rover Evoque has been named the 2012 North American Truck of the Year, one of the most celebrated automotive awards in our industry," said Andy Goss, president, Jaguar Land Rover North America. "This recognition is in keeping with the overwhelmingly positive global response from consumers who are selecting the vehicle for its ideal combination of luxury and capability, within a sustainable package."

The Range Rover Evoque was reviewed by a coalition of 50 automotive journalists, from the United States and Canada, representing all media platforms. Every year, the jurors of the North American Truck of the Year convene to determine worthy vehicle contenders and limit the eligible vehicles to approximately 10 cars and 10 trucks. Based on a points system, the jurors rate the vehicles and send their ballots to Deloitte & Touche's office in Detroit where the selection process is narrowed down to three cars and three trucks with the most points. Once the three finalists are announced, the jurors vote again on the finalists.

The 2012 Range Rover Evoque is the lightest and most fuel efficient Range Rover ever produced. The vehicle stays true to the core values of Range Rover, providing premium levels of craftsmanship, luxury, performance and Land Rover multi-terrain capability, while embodied in a more compact package. The Range Rover Evoque also sends a message that the company is serious about sustainability and determined to deliver vehicles that are both relevant and highly desirable.

The North American Truck of the Year honor is the latest U.S. accolade that the Range Rover Evoque has received since its launch.

Additionally, the car has been named Motor Trend's 2012 Sport/Utility of the Year, Autoweek's "Best of Best" Truck, Road & Travel's International Truck of the Year, Decisive Magazine's Urban Truck of the Year, Automobile Magazine's 2012 All-Star Award and Best Luxury Compact Vehicle from Automotive Lease Guide (ALG) and Bloomberg News' Crossover Car of the Year.

Internationally the Range Rover Evoque has received over 50 awards so far across Europe and Asia, including UK 4x4 Magazine`s 4x4 Of the Year, and BBC TopGear Magazine`s Car of the Year.

The Range Rover Evoque is available in Jamaica exclusively from ATL Britannia, a division of ATL Automotive. ATL Britannia is located in Kingston at 3 Oxford Road and at Bogue City Centre, in Montego Bay.
