The Range Rover Evoque has just been named the most eco small SUV by receiving the Green Organisation 2013 Green Apple award, judged by members of the Midland Group of Motoring Writers in Britain.
This is the second Green Apple award for the Evoque after the same accolade was bestowed in 2012. The 2013 award was presented to Land Rover at the Houses of Parliament.
For 2014, the Evoque gains a new nine-speed automatic gearbox which will help reduce the fuel consumption by up to 11.4 percent and CO2 emissions by up to 9.5 percent.
The Green Organisation is based in Northamptonshire, and is an independent non-political environment group dedicated promoting environmental practices. Its annual awards, launched in 1994, reflect environmental achievements and advances in all sectors, not just the auto world.
“Our members were asked for a third year to vote for their Green Apple Award winners, using the experience we have with the vehicles and the technology that lies behind them. However, we didn’t ask members simply to list the most fuel efficient cars as measured by official statistics. We wanted our nominations to reflect the real world that hard-pressed motorists must live in, and we wanted our winning cars to be good on the road, too," said Ian Donaldson, group chairman.
