Conquest Evade Brings The Armoured Look, Without The Armour

Canadian specialist manufacturer Conquest Vehicles has taken the wraps off its newest model, the Evade luxury SUV.

Conquest’s press material forthrightly announces the fact that the Evade is ‘unarmoured’, though its styling very much suggests the contrary.

As an aesthetic twin of its armoured Knight XV stablemate, the Evade is priced some US$50,000 less, but at a still exclusivity-ensuring US$579,000 (AU$549,000).

This is nearly double the projected asking price of the titanium-framed Nagel Dakkar by Latvian-owned Dartz revealed last week.

Punching in the same way-over-the-top survivalist-truck category, the Evade comes with more prosaic underpinnings than the Dartz - a Ford F550 Super Duty Chassis, powered by a choice of (yet to be confirmed) diesel or petrol engines.
