First pic of new Range Rover Evoque's interior

Baby Range Rover gets stylish interior.

Ahead of its global debut this week at the Paris Motor Show, Land Rover has released pictures of the Evoque's interior and a few more details on the car.

It's going to take quite some effort for Posh Spice to mess up the Evoque's cabin, for it's a lovely looking place, featuring loads of neutrally coloured leather bathed in natural light via the panoramic glass roof.

We already know quite a bit about the new baby Range Rover. In front-wheel drive form it will boast sub-130g/km emissions for Band B taxation and combined consumption of less than 6.0 litres/100km.

Power will come from new petrol and diesel engines with start-stop technology. The 2.2-litre diesel comes in 150- and 190hp outputs, the former achieving the sub-130g/km figure and the latter around 145g/km (Band C). There's a turbocharged 240hp petrol engine too with direct injection, capable of the 0-100km/h sprint in 7.1 seconds.

And because it's still a proper Range Rover, baby or not, it should be full of luxury features and technology. Highlights include a 17-speaker high-end stereo, a surround camera system, dual-zone climate control with a timer facility, dual-view touch screen satnav and DVD playback, rear seat entertainment and adaptive headlamps.

Three design themes will be available: Pure, Prestige and Dynamic. The interior you see in the picture is Prestige, which is the luxury package featuring an 'almost entirely leather-wrapped' interior and 19-inch wheels. Dynamic gets 20-inch rims and a sportier body kit, while Pure is effectively the base car.

Deliveries are expected to be from Summer 2011.
