Range Rover Evoque Ember marks sales milestone
Limited-edition model commemorating half a million Evoque sales set to land in Oz before year's endAustralia is among a select few markets around the world that will see the limited edition Range Rover Evoque Ember land during the final quarter of 2016.
Priced at $93,499, the Evoque Ember celebrates 520,000 sales of the stylish offroader around the world. Distinguished from other Evoque variants by its Firenze Red roof and Santorini Black body colour, the Evoque Ember is based on the mechanical package of the Evoque TD4 180 HSE Dynamic.
Other features that set the Evoque Ember apart from standard Evoque variants include tailgate badging (the Evoque legend) in black with a silver surround, and Narvik Black 'Range Rover' lettering on the bonnet. Complementing the theme are 'Black Pack' items such as 20-inch alloy wheels finished in Satin Black, Dynamic black exhaust finishers, Dynamic Narvik Black grille and tinted headlights/ tail lights. The headlights feature adaptive LEDs and self-levelling. Static cornering lights are also fitted.
Inside, the Evoque Ember features Ebony Black seat upholstery with Pimento Red stitching, Oxford leather on the dash, gloss-black trim and coordinating black and red premium carpet mats. Land Rover will open the order books in Australia for the Evoque Ember from June, but there's just a three month period to get in for the limited-edition model, which will be built at the company's Halewood plant.
“We wanted to give the Range Rover Evoque Ember Limited Edition a sporty feel; contrasting the intensity of the Firenze Red with Santorini Black really shows off the Evoque’s stand-out proportions,” said Phil Simmons, Land Rover’s Studio Director for Exterior Design Realisation
The Evoque Ember joins the range at the same time as InControl Touch Pro, featuring a 10.2-inch tablet-style touch screen with a pinch facility to zoom in or out. According to Land Rover, the touch screen – available from launch in the Evoque Convertible – operates on principles similar to a smartphone, with users able to swipe, pan and pinch the 21:9 display in 1280x542-pixel resolution. This represents an 80 per cent increase in display area over the eight-inch touch screen fitted as standard.
