Jaguar Land Rover, the British subsidiary of the Indian auto giant Tata Motors, has launched its all new luxury sports utility vehicle – Range Rover Evoque – in the Indian market on Friday. The new Range Rover SUV carries a starting price tag of Rs 44.75 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai) and is available in four variants including one petrol and three diesel versions.
While speaking to the reporters in Mumbai on the occasion of the launch, Tata Motors managing director PM Telang said, "The Range Rover Evoque is a very important addition to the Land Rover and Range Rover portfolio. This car has excited audiences across the world and we expect the same from the discerning customers here."
