Range Rover Evoque Cabrio concept debuts in Geneva [video]

Could be headed for production

Range Rover has introduced the Evoque Cabrio concept at the Geneva Motor Show.

Designed to gauge consumer interest, the concept is based on the three-door Evoque but adopts a fully retractable roof, a roll over protection system and exclusive 21-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the four-seat cabin is nicely equipped with leather seats, metallic trim and an infotainment system with an 8-inch display.

According to Land Rover Design Director Gerry McGovern, "We believe that the Evoque lends itself beautifully to the idea of a convertible. From a pure design perspective, we have used Evoque's dramatic shape to create a distinctive and highly desirable proposition."

Range Rover Evoque Convertible Concept Makes Its Global Debut

The Range Rover Evoque Convertible Concept has made its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show. One of the most talked about vehicles at the Show, the Evoque Convertible Concept is the world's first premium SUV convertible.

It is a bold design study that builds on the current model's success and reflects Land Rover's expertise at identifying and leading new market segments. The soft-top concept vehicle features a fully retractable premium roof with a Roll Over Protection System [ROPS]. The convertible cleverly combines capability and versatility with a drop down tailgate and a comfortable four-seat set up.

Whilst there are no current plans to put the Evoque convertible into production, Land Rover will be gauging reaction to the concept and listening carefully to feedback.

On unveiling the exciting new concept at the JLR press conference, Land Rover Design Director, Gerry McGovern, said: "We believe that the Evoque lends itself beautifully to the idea of a convertible. From a pure design perspective, we have used Evoque's dramatic shape to create a distinctive and highly desirable proposition."
