It's the most hotly awaited new car of the year, and the new Range Rover Evoque has just begun production ahead of the first customer deliveries in September.
The production line at Land Rover's Halewood plant in Liverpool will be working flat out to meet the 18,000 advance orders for the new baby model.
Dr Ralf Speth, Jaguar Land Rover Chief Executive Officer, said: "The teams that have designed engineered and built the new Evoque, working together with our research and supplier partners, can be immensely proud of their achievement. Worldwide interest in our new car has been exceptional, with 18,000 customer orders received from customers eager to be among the first to own the new Range Rover."
