The revolutionary design of the Range Rover Evoque lends itself to an elegant conversion and the new model becomes the top of the range of the Evoque family as the most exclusive and capable convertible in the world.

The fifth member of the Range Rover family - and the first convertible in the range to be launched as standard - this new model combines traditional Range Rover luxury with four seats and flexible storage.

The Range Rover Evoque Cabriolet has been designed to meet the most rigorous Land Rover standards thanks to its exceptional structural rigidity ensuring the refinement which is its hallmark, a remarkable level of safety and unparalleled skills.

Gerry McGovern, Design Director and Chief Creative Officer of Land Rover, explained: “The Range Rover Evoque Cabriolet is a vehicle for all seasons. Its distinctive design and top-notch design add a new dimension to the Range Rover family and enhance its desirability and attractiveness. "

The overall SUV market is expected to grow by 20% over the next five years * and Land Rover is launching a whole new segment for SUVs with this Evoque Cabriolet.

The exterior design of the Evoque Cabriolet continues to attract attention thanks to its sophisticated hood which preserves the profile of the original design. Its Z closing mechanism is aligned with the bodywork for an elegant and pure appearance when the hood is open.

The fully automatic flexible roof opens in 18 seconds and can close in 21 seconds up to a speed of 48km / h. Once closed, the soundproofing provides interior comfort of the same level as the five-door Evoque. In addition, the position of the roof does not affect the capacity of the trunk which offers 251 liters, generous volume for a convertible.

Inside is a new 10,2 '' high-definition touchscreen with the latest generation of the Jaguar Land Rover InControl Touch Pro infotainment system that debuts on a Land Rover. Offering the highest level of connectivity, InControl Touch Pro enables optimized connection to smartphones, door-to-door navigation, Wifi - 3G connection and a premium audio system.

Security has not been forgotten. Aluminum roll bars are integrated into the bodywork and deploy in 90 milliseconds to protect the occupants in the event of a rollover.
The Evoque receives the engines, four-cylinder petrol and Diesel (ingenium), including the powerful and refined Si4 petrol of 240hp.

The Diesel engines are the 2,0L Ingénium from Land Rover (150 or 180 hp), efficient and refined and which reduce consumption to 5,1 l / 100km and CO2 emissions to 149g / km.

The Evoque Cabriolet offers the exceptional crossing capabilities of Land Rover and is based on the same advanced technologies as the Evoque five-door or Coupé. All-wheel drive combined with the 9-speed automatic transmission, Terrain Response® and ford systems and off-road progress control make the Evoque a convertible for all seasons.

The new Range Rover Evoque Cabriolet will be produced at the Land Rover plant in Halewood, England, alongside the five-door and Coupé versions. It will be available for sale in more than 170 markets from spring 2016.
