First Official Photo of New Range Rover Evoque 5-Door

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.

Land Rover just released some new videos of its upcoming Evoque in motion, and it continues to convince. Interested? Hit the jump for the vids, or head over to our previous post for all the details.

Debuting at next week's Paris Auto Show as a 3-door model (the 5-door's on the way, don't fret), the new mini-Range will get turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel and gasoline engines; the 2.2-liter diesels will come in 150-horsepower and 190-horsepower flavors, while the 2.0-liter gasoline engine will put down a still-undisclosed output (where you at, Rover?).

Not only that, but the diesels post some impressive fuel economy numbers as well. How do you feel about 50 mpg Imperial / 41.6 mpg US from the low-output diesel with 4-wheel drive? Good, that's how.

It will be available in both 4-wheel driver and front-wheel drive (a Rover first), come in three trim levels, and provide owners with one very attractive interior. Live shots are on the way.
