For many people hiring vehicles, the commonly rented models are hatchbacks and executive saloons, which take a large proportion of the market. However, it has been noted that a new vehicle has arrived on the top search list this January, with the Evoque becoming popular for Range Rover hire.
A relatively newcomer to the hire market, the Evoque was not expected to make as great an impression as it has done. However, with its panoramic roof, self-park feature and enormous comfort, the Evoque has been one of the highest searched for vehicles in the first month of 2012.
Beaten only by the C-Class and E-Class Mercedes, the Evoque’s presence in the top searched list for hire vehicles is impressive, especially considering that it is new to the market. Launched in September last year, the model quickly gained over 50 motoring awards, including Car of the Year from BBC Top Gear Magazine. It is Range Rover’s most fuel efficient, lightest and compact vehicle, and is available in both front-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive, depending on the driver’s preferences.
With the latest indications showing its high popularity, it is expected that there will be a surge in Range Rover hire in the next few months. With drivers wanting to experience the prestige that comes with driving an award winning vehicle, and the Evoque being ideal for comfort and fuel efficient travel, the rental market for the Evoque can expect a lucrative year during 2012.
