Five-door Range Rover Evoque caught testing at the Nurburgring for the first time

The five-door Range Rover Evoque has been caught testing at the Nurburgring for the first time.

The five-door Evoque will sit on the same platform as the three-door model unveiled last month.

It will have shortened front doors and narrow-aperture rear doors and sales are likely to start in 2012.

Few technical details on the three-door model have been revealed, but Land Rover has confirmed that the car will be available in front-wheel drive form as well as four-wheel drive, and that some models will emit less than 130g/km of CO2.

The Evoque is being described as a "global car"; Land Rover says it will be sold in more than 160 countries. It will be made at Halewood, creating up to 1000 new jobs at the Liverpool facility.
