The Range Rover Evoque Convertible unveiled a few years ago was unusual compared to other massive SUVs from Land Rover. But in 2016, this convertible will finally go on sale.
You can see a convertible not so often on the roads, but an SUV without a roof, which is a rarity. The premiere of such a convertible SUV Range Rover Evoque from Land Rover took place in early 2015, and only recently at the Geneva Motor Show, Land Rover announced the official start of selling the convertible in the second half of 2016.
But as in any new product that enters the sales market, there are both positive things and criticism regarding the disadvantages. According to preliminary data, the new Range Rover Evoque convertible has changed its weight by at least 270 kg, as a folding roof and mechanisms for it have been added.
In the new body, the SUV weighs 1936 kg. Regarding the trunk, only 251 liters will fit into it, which is 299 liters. less than a regular Evoque.

Despite such an impressive set, the convertible will accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 7.8 seconds. The SUV has a top speed of 180 km / h and is essentially as slow as a regular Evoque. As the pre-order statistics show, most Europeans will take a complete set with a turbocharged diesel engine.
The reported consumption of the Evoque Convertible consumes 5.1 liters. for 100 km. Compared to SUVs from other manufacturers, the convertible is not very fast, and for such a price it could have been made faster.

The cost of the Evoque Convertible will be $ 50,475, and at home in Britain £ 47,500, which is £ 5200. more than the usual model. For the most part, this convertible is designed for a youth audience, or people who love outdoor activities.
