Evoque Ride & Drive at Westfield London

On Friday I saw two transporters fully of Evoques pass the dealership, and must admit that I assumed that they were our launch cars and first customer orders which had slipped through the gates of Land Rover a couple of weeks early! It then dawned on me that it was the weekend of the Evoque ride and drive at Westfield Shopping Centre in West London. Embarrassed

Sadly I didn't get a chance to visit Westfield this weekend, however there seemed to be a constant stream of Evoques going past the dealership this weekend.

I wondered if anyone managed to get down there and how they go on? Would be nice to see some snaps too.

There you go

Doesn't sound like the best one so far. Did you see them all coming past you to Northolt and back?

Any exciting news from you James?

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for the link. I can't believe I missed a four-page thread! I've replied to your PM. No news other than the fact that I drove an Si4, SD4 Auto and TD4 Manual a couple of weeks back and am blown away at how good the vehicle is (trying not to sound like a typical salesman Embarrassed ). All of the team have had their first phase of product training and our launch/showroom cars are on schedule.

I've got an inkling to put as many accessories as possible on one of our showroom vehicles, therefore if anyone wants to lend me a Kayak for a couple of weeks then it would be great (odd request I know)!!

We're just looking forward to the first cars and getting some delivered to their new owners.

Thanks again for the tip off. Cool

Black wheels and a set of black roof rails on an Indus silver Evoque seems to be what has done it for most on here! Sounds a bit last last year's LE Defender...............

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

James, I too went to the Westfield Event - haven't had a chance to write up on it yet. Just wandering, how do dealers interact with LR in regards to customer feedback on vehicle specs? Or do they amend future specs based on options ordered?

Now now, just because there is more than one tosser on the forum it doesn't mean they are all LRX

RE: Evoque Ride & Drive at Westfield London

DDX - That is a very good question. It is realy a case of three parts, where much of the specification is put together based on (as you say) what has previously been ordered, which is when you start to see 'packs' such as Tech, Lux and Plus. The other is by dealers feeding back to LR's product managers via our intranet as to what we believe customers would like to see. Lastly, Land Rover do hold regular focus groups for existing customer and drivers of conquest vehicles with a view to establishing exactly what they would like to see on future models. With Evoque it is a slightly different as it is yet to be formally launched, therefore most of the specification will have been put together based on customer focus groups and what other markets are doing.

Charlie - Land Rover are suspending deliveries of all other models in the run-up to launch so that dealers receive their demonstrators and showroom vehicles (plus first customer cars) at the same time, and as close to launch so as not to dilute the excitement of 8th September. Having been with the brand for many years, in my experience we may get the cars the day before (or a couple of days before), however we will be spending the time between them preparing and accessorising them ready for the launch, therefore in essence it is unlikely that we will be able to offer any preview's. As you will appreciate Land Rover have asked that we maintain the excitement until launch day!!
