It was rumored for a long time that Land Rover was mulling the development of an open-top version of its Range Rover Evoque crossover and now, the British automaker has lifted the wraps off a concept version ahead of its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
As it seems, Land Rover wants to measure reactions at a couple of international events that will very likely include the New York Auto Show in April before it gives the green light for the production model, which could follow as early as next year.
The Range Rover Evoque Convertible is of course based on the three-door variant and features a powered soft-top roof with a glass rear screen that tucks away neatly under a plastic cover located behind the rear seats.
"The Evoque Convertible Concept is a new twist to the Evoque story and explores the potential to further extend the nameplate's appeal by giving existing customers more choice, whilst at the same time reaching out to a completely new customer base," commented John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director.
"We are excited to see the response to this concept as we assess the potential for building on the Evoque's exceptional success so far," he added.
If Land Rover officials go ahead and produce the Convertible, it would be offered with the same four-cylinder diesel and gasoline engines as the hard-top model with the option of two or four-wheel drive.

Jeremy Clarkson was right!
I want one :)
I like this better than the Nissan Murano, but would never buy this type of vehicle.
Less ugly than the Murano, but let's just not do this segment, please.
Just because you can - don't. I LOVE this brand - let's keep its integrity intact. How about putting more effort into the Defender replacement to make sure its update is classic.
By god this is well um, ...
I want one of thse i like that, make mine black metallic red interior and the range rover supercharged's engine lol
Pointlessness has a new figurehead.
They should ask Nissan how many Murano Cross Cabriolets they have sold to date. My guess is that it's a paltry number, & a segment that is just not there. It's a non-niche of a niche.
looks like Kens gonna pick Barbie up in this to go to the beach :)
this car looks faboulus, i want one
please god no....
Pointless. I'd rather they make a bigger window version of the Evoque.
It's like a boat with four wheels! LOL
こ、これはかっこいいのではないか？ GTCよりは安いだろうし.... パッケージングが面白い！
オープンでスキーに行こう！（笑）

OMG.... I'm getting myself this R' sport.... White or red one thou.... Couldn't hold back my tears!!!
I love this idea! I drive a Porsche Boxster now and love, love, love having a convertible. But as soon as I have a baby I know I'll have to get more of a practical "mommy" car, i.e. SUV, and it makes me so sad to think of giving up my convertible!
I enjoyed reading it. I need to read more on this topic.
Surely are in agreement with that which you reported.
