Land Rover Mulling a Smaller Crossover than the Evoque

There’s no denying that the Evoque, the most compact model ever to wear the Range Rover badge, has been a smash hit for the company, having sold more than 90,000 units since its launch last year.

In fact, JATO Dymanics reports that European sales of the Evoque, which is available as a three- and five-door, were 27,685 vehicles in the first half of 2012; that’s almost as much of the rest of Land Rover’s range combined (29,891).
