Land Rover has unveiled the world’s first luxury compact SUV convertible.
The company said the Range Rover Evoque Convertible combines the bold design and refinement of Evoque with comprehensive specification and a sophisticated folding roof to create a no compromise, all-season convertible.
The fully-automated roof stows in 18 seconds, and can be raised in 21 seconds, at speeds up to 30mph. In addition, the position of the roof doesn’t affect loadspace, with a generous 251-litre boot offering unrivalled practicality for a convertible.
At the heart of the high-class cabin is an all-new, high-resolution 10.2in touchscreen with Jaguar Land Rover’s next-generation infotainment system, InControl Touch Pro, which debuts in a Land Rover.
Land Rover’s full suite of lightweight, all-aluminium four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines is available with the potent 237bhp Si4 petrol providing outstanding levels of performance and refinement.
Diesel power comes from Land Rover’s 2.0-litre Ingenium engines which provide highly efficient and refined performance with fuel economy up to 55mpg and CO2 emissions as low as 149g/km.
The new Range Rover Evoque Convertible goes on sale across from Spring 2016 in more than 170 markets worldwide. Pricing in the UK will start from £47,500 OTR based on
a TD4 HSE Dynamic derivative.
