As what I have seen the vehicle adds up to no more than 350 thousands RMB converted from the offical price tag indexing.

SUV has gained the outdoor exploration hooked-on fans' popularity for its tough-condition conquest ability, high stability and extensive storage capablity.

Here's the brief introduction selected to alleviate the pain for going through too many unnecessary design-details:

This is a commercial-based vehicle that "soon will inherit the Evade’s minor styling updates".Check it's outlook and the summary derived from my perspective, enjoy anyway:

 

 

The Toronto-based company is calling its more-vulnerable new model the Evade.

Typically, consumer-grade armored cars hide their armor and blend in, but not the Dartz-like Knight XV—and so it goes for the Evade, minus the armor, of course. Conquest Vehicles colorfully describes the Evade’s new body panels as “massive,” but apparently they’re “significantly” less so than the 13,000-pound Knight XV’s beefed-up fare. The panels are rendered using an aluminum/mild-steel blend, but this dose of superleggera engineering is offset by the truck’s steering wheel, hinges, and running boards, all of which are machined from solid blocks of stainless steel.

 

The interior is set up with a 2+2 rear-seating configuration with two pairs of chairs facing each other, limousine-style, and buyers can add retractable flat-screen monitors, a partition between the rear quarters and the front cabin, and power rear seats. Like the XV, the Evade can be had with one of two Ford engines, one gas and one diesel.

We understand that not every buyer in the market for a commercial-truck-based land crusher needs armor or blast-resistant tires, but lose the armor and the Knight XV–derived appeal seems lost. Then there is the Evade’s price tag, which at $579,000 falls just $50,000 shy of the Knight XV’s base price. That’s big money for something that lacks a winged B or a flying lady hood ornament, let alone one that also doesn’t save your bacon when the heat is on. We’d splurge for the armored XV, which soon will inherit the Evade’s minor styling updates, so that we may indulge in its paramilitary looks and the assurance that it packs paramilitary chops, as well.
