Unlike luxury SUVs in same class, Range Rover Evoque is more avant-garde and stylish, especially wide body design, small windows and rear trim are not obsolete today. The Rover Evoque has retained them. In addition, new car also adds starburst design elements to front face, which is overall more three-dimensional and advanced. There is no other adjective but stunning.
