TO prove the new Range Rover Evoque Convertible is happy to break a few false fingernails off road, it has survived Land Rover’s punishing development and testing programme with flying colours.

Evoque Convertible highlights

  • New Range Rover Evoque Convertible proves off-roadworthy;
  • Exclusive film captures final stage of testing at Land Rover’s challenging all-terrain proving ground;
  • Full suite of advanced on- and off-road technologies showcased;
  • The Convertible for all Seasons will be revealed in November and on sale Spring 2016.

Due to be launched in November, the Coventry factory has released a film showcasing the drop-top Evoque’s true all-terrain credentials climbing muddy inclines and wading grill deep in country ponds.

The footage – see the link below – shows the world’s first luxury compact SUV convertible completing the final phase of testing at Land Rover’s legendary Eastnor Castle estate, in Herefordshire, Land Rover says the film demonstrates how Land Rover’s engineers have rigorously tested the four-wheel drive Convertible to ensure it delivers customary all-terrain capability.

Mike Cross, Land Rover chief engineer, vehicle integrity, said: “Land Rover prides itself on being a class leader when it comes to all-terrain capability and the Evoque Convertible is no different. Thanks to a combination of innovative engineering and the application of advanced technologies, Evoque Convertible will deliver a dynamic and assured SUV experience that has been tested around the world. We call it ‘The Convertible for all Seasons’.”

The bold addition to the Range Rover range has just completed its extensive development programme and continues Land Rover’s tradition for creating and leading new market segments.

Launching in November, Evoque Convertible will be on sale in the UK from spring 2016.
