The L538 Range Rover Evoque convertible will go on sale from spring 2016 with a choice of three engines, and two trim levels.
It might look quite good for a convertible SUV, but is there really a niche for Evoque convertible? Considering that it’s the only off-road-style convertible on sale right now, thanks to the demise of the Murano CrossCabriolet, Range Rover claims that it is the “most capable all-terrain convertible in the world.”
Anyway, it does have electric fabric roof that goes from up to down in 18 seconds, and down to up in 21 seconds, and works at speeds up to 30mph (48km/h).
There’s a choice of three engines (two diesel, one gas), two trim lines (SE Dynamic and HSE Dynamic). Based on the two-door Evoque, the convertible has a reinforced body and a missing fixed roof.
The trunk lifts upwards and is able to store up to 8.9 cubic feet (251L).
No pricing yet, but the convertible will go on sale from spring 2016 in 170 markets worldwide.
