The Range RoverEvoque caused a massive stir when it was released here in South Africa and was very well received by the South African public. To keep the interest going Range Rover have revealed the Evoque convertible concept which will debut at the Geneva Motor Show.
The Range Rover Evoque convertible concept maintains Land Rovers tradition of innovation in creating new market segments. The production was not straight forward though; as designers needed to retain the Evoque’s lines and shape while creating the unique convertible SUV.
The roof will be fully retractable and will come with a Roll Over Protection System. The hood is housed in a tapered finisher with the roof mechanism stowed below the belt-line. Land Rover wanted to ensure though that the convertible Evoque would still maintain the aspects that the brand has maintained over so many years and so many different models; a command driving position and all-terrain capability. The new convertible body style was attained with minimum changes to the weight of the vehicle as well as torsional rigidity.
There are no plans to produce the Evoque convertible just yet but Land Rover plan to gage the response to the vehicle at the Geneva Motor Show and take it from there.
