The launch of the Range Rover Evoque is just one of 40 product launches that Jaguar and Land Rover (including Range Rover) will carry out through the next five years.
The Evoque will be sold in 160 countries - including South Africa - from November 1, 2011. Interested South Africans can order their Evoques through their local dealers. Jaguar Land Rover SA would not say how many Evoque orders have so far been received from South Africa.
