Land Rover has showcased product portfolio on the first day of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. In addition to the brand's 2012 lineup, three special vehicles – the 1,000,000th Land Rover Discovery, the DC100 Defender Concept vehicle and for the first time in public, the Range Rover Evoque Convertible Concept.
The Evoque Convertible Concept is the world's first premium SUV convertible. It is a bold design study that builds on the current model’s success and reflects Land Rover’s expertise at identifying and leading new market segments. The soft-top concept vehicle features a fully retractable premium roof with a Roll Over Protection System [ROPS]. The convertible cleverly combines capability and versatility with a drop down tailgate and a comfortable four-seat set up.
Whilst there are no current plans to put the Evoque convertible into production, Land Rover will be gauging reaction to the concept and listening carefully to feedback.
On unveiling the exciting new concept at the JLR press conference, Land Rover Design Director, Gerry McGovern, said: "We believe that the Evoque lends itself beautifully to the idea of a convertible. From a pure design perspective, we have used Evoque's dramatic shape to create a distinctive and highly desirable proposition."
