At the world premiere of the new Range Rover Evoque 3d (see here) at the Paris Motor Show today, Land Rover re-confirmed it will be producing a more practical, five-door version of its new compact SUV model and released the first official photo of the vehicle before its official reveal later this year.
The British automaker did not release any other details on the SUV but it is safe to assume that the 5-door variant will be offered with the same four-cylinder engines announced for the 3-door model, including a 2.2-liter turbo diesel with 150HP and 190HP derivatives, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline producing 240HP.
Both diesel and petrol engines are offered with an updated six-speed auto transmission, while the Evoque will be the first Range Rover model to be available in both four-wheel-drive and front-wheel-drive versions.
Sales of both the three- and five-door versions of the Evoque are expected to start next summer.
