The Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet wasn’t exactly a hot-selling droptop SUV, but that isn’t stopping Land Rover from adapting that formula with a new Range Rover Evoque model.
It’s a puzzling move, but Land Rover officially confirmed that a Range Rover Evoque Convertible is on the way. Details on the ragtop Evoque’s are sparse, but it’s safe to expect the same powertrain options as the fixed-roof two- and four-door variants.
That means Jaguar Land Rover’s new 2.0-litre Ingenium turbodiesel engine will be optional, but for now, us North Americans will have to make do with the current 2.0-litre, 240-horsepower turbo-four.
Amazingly, the automaker managed to keep the Evoque Convertible a secret until now by testing it in a 42-kilometre series of tunnels being constructed for London’s Crossrail network.
