ZARA PHILLIPS RECEIVES FIRST RANGE ROVER EVOQUE
Land Rover ambassador Zara Phillips is the first person to take
delivery of a new Range Rover Evoque. Ms Phillips drove away the
5-door Stornaway Grey Evoque from the Land Rover Burghley Horse
Trials, where she was competing this weekend.
Land Rover UK Marketing Director, Laura Schwab showed Zara around her
new car and said "Zara has been excited about the new Evoque
ever since we revealed the first pictures over a year ago and indeed
she was one of the very first people to order one."
We have a huge presence at Burghley this year, with over 60 Land Rover
vehicles in action at the event. It therefore seemed fitting that our
first Evoque handover took place here."
On receiving the keys to the new Evoque, Zara said: "I've grown
up around Land Rovers and have been an ambassador for the brand for
several years ￜ I am really looking forward to getting behind the
wheel of my new Evoque. It looks absolutely fantastic and I am
delighted to be the first person in the UK to take delivery of
one."
The Range Rover Evoque officially enters UK showrooms this week but is
already proving a hit with customers. Land Rover has received over
20,000 pre-orders worldwide with 6,000 of these in the UK. Special
Evoque launch events will be taking place at Land Rover dealerships
throughout the UK on Thursday 8 September with customers taking
delivery of their vehicles from Friday onwards.
Zara was handed the keys to a 5-Door Range Rover Evoque in Stornaway
Grey, with a 2.2 litre Diesel engine, 6-speed automatic transmission,
panoramic sunroof and features including park assist, blind spot
monitoring and a surround camera system.
Zara was competing at the Burghley Horse Trials, which is being
sponsored by Land Rover for the seventh year running. Over 60 Land
Rovers were used by Competition officials, fence judges and medical
teams. Zara is one of the UK's leading equestrian figures and has
been a Land Rover brand ambassador since 2006.
