The Range Rover Evoque has been named the 2012 North American Truck of the Year.
The announcement, made in Detroit, saw the Evoque triumph over tough competition from the BMW X3 and the Honda CR-V.
The judging panel of senior US automotive journalists chose the Evoque as the winner after reviewing it against its competitors
in six key categories: value, innovation, handling, performance, safety and driver satisfaction.
"We are honored that the all-new Range Rover Evoque has been named the 2012 North American Truck of the Year, one of the most celebrated
automotive awards in our industry,” said Andy Goss, President, Jaguar Land Rover North America.
“This recognition is in keeping with the overwhelmingly positive global response from consumers who are selecting the vehicle for its ideal combination of luxury and capability, within a sustainable package.”
The North American Truck of the Year honour is the latest global accolade that the Range Rover Evoque has received since its launch in September 2011. It is the first NAToTY title for Land Rover although the brand has been shortlisted three times. Additionally, in North America, the car has been named Motor Trend’s 2012 Sport/Utility of the Year, Autoweek's 'Best of Best' Truck, Road & Travel's International Truck of the Year, Decisive Magazine’s Urban Truck of the Year, Automobile Magazine’s 2012 All-Star Award and Best Luxury Compact Vehicle from Automotive Lease Guide (ALG) and Bloomberg News’ Crossover Car of the Year.
Frank Klaas, Global Head of Communications for Jaguar Land Rover, described the award as “fantastic news”. Meanwhile the European Car of the Year jury has announced that the Range Rover Evoque is one of seven cars shortlisted for the highly prestigious European award. The final announcement will be made at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
