2012 North American Truck of the Year: Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

January 9th, 2012 No comments

(L to R) Andy Goss, President, Jaguar Land Rover North America; Tony Swan, Editor-at-Large, Car and Driver; Kim McCullough, Brand Vice President, Land Rover North America and Frank Klaas, Global Head of Communications, Jaguar Land Rover, with the 'North American Truck of the Year' award for the 2012 Range Rover Evoque at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 9, 2012. This marks the first North American Truck of the Year win for Land Rover.

      Unlike with the Car of the Year “surprise” (we incorrectly predicted the Passat) the North American Truck of the Year award actually went to the vehicle your humble editors expected. The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque simply advances the entire luxury crossover segment to stylish new heights unmatched by the other finalists to be ignored by the judges. Awkwardly enough, Jaguar/Land Rover didn’t choose to participate in this year’s NAIAS so they won’t be able to brag about their new award to the 800,000 people expected to attend the upcoming public show. Oops.
