Land Rover has finally revealed the world's first automatic electronic convertible SUV. The topless Evoque isn't the most stunning Land Rover but its definitely got the fun factor. As Land Rover described "no compromise, all-season convertible" soft-top Evoque retains the drive-train and external dimensions of existing Evoque.
Even though they made a huge design change, Evoque's distinctive shape hasn't messed up. The convertible Evoque gets the same engine as of the normal Evoque, whch means, 2.0-liter TD4 Ingenium diesel (178bhp and 317lb ft) or 2.0-liter Si4 petrol (237bhp and 251lb ft) with a 9-speed automatic gearbox and optional Active Drive-line.
JLRs new IN Control Touch Pro appears for the first time in Land Rover. Its a 10.2 Inch screen, much larger than the current 8 Inch system.It is as close to a smart phone, with touch, swipe, pan, pinch and zoom controls. And also, all new navigation system with guaranteed navigation even in poor satellite coverage areas.

The convertible Evoque will go on sale by spring 2016. Land Rover has designed the longest and widest folding roof of any car currently on production. At the press of a button, the light-weight canvas will fold into a 'Z' shape and stows flush with the body. You can do this by even driving at a speed no more than 30mph. The roof closes in 21 seconds. There is also a 'Roll Over Protection Device' to protect the passengers in the event of vehicle flipping over. This system will automatically deploy two roll-over bars within 90 milliseconds, creating a survival space for the occupants.

Boot space inevitable suffers. It has a 251 liters boot space. And also there is a hatch between the fixed rear seats to squeeze in long items. But who cares?! If you want a log-lugging mud-plunger, get a Defender!
