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.

photosIn addition to the contrasting body color and roof, the Black Design Pack includes dark exhaust finishers painted in Santorini Black with a gloss black rear bumper and inner and outer sump guard, which is carried through on the front of the vehicle.

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.

A 2020 prototype of the so-called "Apple Car" was dubbed "the Bread Loaf" for its looks, according to a Bloomberg report on Wednesday.

In a deep dive into the costly project, which Apple canceled last month, the report described the vehicle as “a white minivan with rounded sides, an all-glass roof, sliding doors, and whitewall tires [that] was designed to comfortably seat four people and inspired by the classic flower-power Volkswagen microbus.”

The Rivian R2 SUV is up for preorder for only $45,000
Rivian R2

You can now get a Rivian without spending more than $70,000. After months of rumors and leaks, Rivian has finally taken the wraps off of the Rivian R2, its newest SUV, and the first to be built on the new Rivian R2 platform. The R2 is built to be Rivian's "Model 3 moment," or its attempt to build a car that's more accessible to the general public and thus could be sold at a much higher volume than the R1S or R1T ever were.

The R2 certainly cuts some corners to achieve the lower price point, but it actually still has a lot going for it -- especially as an electric SUV in this price range. It goes up against the likes of the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Mustang Mach-E, and Kia EV6, but it's much more of an SUV than a crossover-sized car and should appeal to those who want something larger and with Rivian's design sensibility.

The R3 is Rivian’s surprise electric crossover
Rivian R3

Rivian didn't just announce the R2 platform at its latest launch event -- in a surprise twist, it also announced the R3 crossover. The R3 is Rivian's smallest car yet, offering a size much closer to the likes of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 than the SUVs that came before it.

Of course, not only is the Rivian R3 smaller, but presumably, it's also cheaper. Rivian didn't reveal actual pricing for the car, but it did say that it would be less than the R2's $45,000 price. Also, it may be some time before we start seeing the R3 on the road -- the car will follow the R2, which isn't set to be available until the first half of 2026.
