The Evoque convertible which was first displayed at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, is now due to be launched in the Spring of 2016 at\uffe147,500. Not too much to swallow if you think of it as buying an automotive icon.<\/p>\n<p>And, that\u2019s the angle that the folks at Land Rover are pushing as they have marketed the Range Rover as the first luxury SUV convertible. While not entirely accurate when you consider that the Land Rover open top Defender has been around for several years and the Nissan Murano is available in a soft top option. However, Land Rover A.G insists that it\u2019s the first of its class in the luxury segment.<\/p>\n<p>Gerry McGovern, the design director and chief creative officer at Land Rover advises why it is that the <a href=\"https:\/\/europeluxurycars.com\/land-rover-rental\/rent-range-rover-vogue\">Evoque<\/a> was selected for the transition to a convertible. \u201cEvoque is a car that really resonates with people,\u201d he said, \u201cwhich is why over 450,000 have been sold so far\u201d Yet, while this convertible is a natural progression for Evoque, McGovern insists it wasn\u2019t easy to do.<\/p>\n<p>The journey from concept to production had its challenges, as Land Rover wanted to keep the trademark Evoque design, whilst being able to fit the extra packaging that comes with a convertible. McGovern says that the rising beltline of the Evoque made it the ideal candidate, as it effectively disguises the hood mechanism and allows a reasonable boot space, yet does so all within the confines of its distinctive looks. \u201cIt still keeps its stance, though \u2013 it looks like a tough so-and-so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At 4,370mm the Convertible is marginally longer than its hard-top predecessors and a little bit wider, too. Extra strengthening round the A-pillars along with under-body bracing has also been added to maintain the car\u2019s structural rigidity. This has meant a bit of a weight gain of 277kg for the diesel, making it a little bit slower and not as kind on the carbon emission, but still within very good parameters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While it\u2019s certainly not everyone\u2019s taste, there seems to be a fair few out there who just can\u2019t wait to get their hands on one of these open top buggies.
