Land Rover has officially revealed the Evoque convertible and has also announced that the premium model will go on sale in 2016. The brand has even released a short underground testing film, showing the Evoque convertible forty metres[FV1] below the streets of London.
The Evoque convertible was first shown as a concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It featured a powered soft-top roof with a glass rear screen tucked under a plastic cover located behind the rear seats. We expect the same arrangement to be carried over to the production model. The soft-top arrangement means that the Evoque convertible will be heavier than the three-door vehicle.
Land Rover will announce further details about the Evoque convertible later this year. It will be built alongside the five-door and three-door Evoque at Land Rover’s Halewood plant in the UK and will be on sale in 2016.
