The first open Range Rover in history received a fabric top that hides in the trunk in 20 seconds (at speeds up to 50 km/h). Compared to the closed version, the luggage compartment of the convertible is almost two and a half times smaller and amounts to 250 liters. Moreover, regardless of the roof position. By the way, some may think that there is nothing easier than cutting off the roof and installing a folding top. In fact, the process of "convertibilization" is quite complex and labor-intensive, since the manufacturer needs to achieve good body rigidity and high safety standards without significantly increasing the weight of the car.
Among the distinctive features of the open Range, it is also worth noting the passenger protection system in case of rollover. The power structure has special beams that extend outward in 90 milliseconds when there is a threat of the car flipping over.
For the open version of the Evoque, Land Rover offers two 2-liter turbo engines – a gasoline engine with 240 horsepower and a diesel with 180 horsepower. Both units are available with a nine-speed automatic transmission ZF. Sales of the new model start in spring 2016.
