    The Range Rover Evoque has been named best production vehicle in the 2010 Car Design of the Year Awards.
    The Evoque, Range Rover's smallest ever vehicle, was picked as the best-designed vehicle of last year by Car Design News in a ceremony at the Geneva Motor Show March 1.
    It beat competition from the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and the Audi A7 which were also in the running for the prestigious annual award, judged by a panel of automotive designers and leading industry figures.

    The 2011 Discovery 4 ‘Landmark’ in its elusive black and white theme is also one to keep an eye out for. This one of a kind variant of the Discovery Series brings a fresh, and more contemporary sense of design and elegance to the Land Rover range of cars. The Discovery 4 'Landmark' is now on-sale in the UK priced from £ 46,945 on the road.

    But, the car which is bound to catch the maximum attention at the Land Rover stalls in Geneva is the all new electric plug in development vehicle by Land Rover. Going by the Electric ‘Range e’ name, is the perfect showcasing of Land Rovers diesel hybrid plug-in technology, and is capable of running on emissions as low as 89 g/km CO2.

    The 'Range e' is based on a Range Rover Sport and features a 3.0-litre TDV6 diesel with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission. Matched with a plug-in parallel diesel hybrid system it offers a premium SUV that can run as a pure electric vehicle. The 'Range e' is the first capable 4WD model from Land Rover to achieve 89g of CO2. It has an EV range of 20 miles, a top speed of around 120mph and a range of 690 miles.

    With the coming of the ‘Range e’ Land Rover is set for its entry into the ‘plug in Hybrid’ space, and will most likely give competition to the American Chevrolet Volt and the converted ‘plug in hybrid’ versions of the Toyota Prius.
