Geneva 2013: Land Rover unwraps hot new Fuji White Black Design Pack for Evoque

Land Rover Black Design PackJust when you thought the blacked-out look on a vehicle might have run its course, Land Rover sets out to convince us otherwise with this latest edition to the Black Design Pack.

The new Fuji White Range Rover Evoque, showcased at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, completely flips the script on the concept of customization with a look that’ll rival a lot of  the Evoques that have rolled out of tuner shops.  And there have been some hot ones.

After all, the toughest part of pulling off a good custom piece is starting with a nice design so it’s hard to go wrong with the award-winning Evoque. Well, as long as the new styling elements adhere to the true essence of the SUV.

Land Rover’s most recent take on the SUV also features darkened front headlights and fog lamps and Santorini Black painted ‘Range Rover’ lettering across the both the bonnet and tailgate and a black rear spoiler

The Black Design Pack also includes special 20-inch wheels offered in a nine spoke design and painted in gloss black.

Available as either a coupe or 5-door, the special trim edition made its debut earlier this year on the Sicilian Yellow Special Edition Evoque.  The Sicilian Yellow edition comes in either a Sicilian Yellow exterior with a contrasting Santorini Black roof, or Santorini Black exterior with a contrasting Sicilian Yellow roof and door mirrors.  But the Fuji White edition has more classic appeal. 

The Black Design Pack trim will be available in April. No official word yet on pricing.

There's a lot of talk about the idea that the growth in electric car sales has kind of slowed a little. It's not all that surprising -- EVs are still expensive, early adopters all have one by now, and they're still new enough to where there aren't too many ultra-affordable used EVs available. But plenty of people still want a greener vehicle, and that has given rise to an explosion in hybrid vehicle sales.

That's especially true of plug-in hybrid vehicles, which can be charged like an EV and driven in all-electric mode for short distances, and have a gas engine as a backup for longer distances or to be used in combination with electric mode for more efficient driving.
