MAHWAH, N.J. July 20, 2017 – Land Rover is pleased to announce that the Range Rover Evoque Five-Door has received the highest Total Quality score in the Near-Luxury Utility Segment, according to the 2017 Strategic Vision Total Quality Impact™ (TQI) report released today. This recognition for the luxury compact SUV illustrates the Land Rover brand’s dedication to providing buyers with an all-around rewarding customer experience.

The Range Rover Evoque was recognized for its thoughtful engineering, image, exterior workmanship, climate control system and interior styling, among other factors. Surveyed buyers, more than a quarter of which were millennials, noted that they love the feeling of owning a Land Rover and are proud to own the Range Rover Evoque.

The 23rd annual TQI study from Strategic Vision captures responses from over 42,000 new-vehicle buyers between the months of July and December 2016. Buyers are surveyed after the first 90 days of vehicle ownership and are asked to rate all aspects of their buying, owning and driving experience. This accounts for a wide variety of aspects, including customers' commitment to advocacy and vehicle loyalty. The score is a holistic measure that encompasses positive and negative product experiences including reliability, actual problems, driving excitement and other measures that are collectively energized by the emotional response associated with the aggregate of all those experiences - hence Total Quality.

“In a few short years, the Range Rover Evoque has become a highly regarded luxury vehicle, known for its dramatic design and luxury appointments,” said Joe Eberhardt, President & CEO, Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC. “To win the Total Quality award confirms that our customers also love it for its features, workmanship and the overall ownership experience.”

The award win follows strong business momentum as last month Land Rover sales hit 5,760 units, the best June sales month for the brand ever. Year to date, Jaguar Land Rover North America sales are up 19%.

The Range Rover Evoque model range includes the Range Rover Evoque Five-Door and Range Rover Evoque Convertible. The Convertible, Five-Door and Coupe models all offer bold, elegant design proportions and spacious interior volume along with the excellent all-terrain capability expected of all Land Rover vehicles. Starting with the 2017 model year, a number of new driver assistance features and in-car technologies are available across the Evoque model range, including All-Terrain Progress Control, All-Terrain Info Center, InControl Touch Pro™ and InControl Apps1. MSRP starts at $41,8002.
