Malcolm Flynn road tests and reviews the Range Rover Evoque Convertible with specs, fuel consumption and verdict at its international launch in France. • Read Malcolm's full review here: http://carsgui.de/1WTFVao • Check out our Range Rover Evoque hub for more: http://carsgui.de/1SVLRRO • - - - - - - - - - • Is an SUV still an SUV when you remove the roof and turn it into a convertible? Either way, Land Rover has done exactly that with the new convertible version of the gorgeous Range Rover Evoque. • The Evoque Convertible won't arrive in Australian showrooms until October, but is based on the two door Evoque Coupe that's been one of the most stunning cars on the road since 2011. • Land Rover has gone to great lengths to ensure the Convertible is as easy to live with as the Coupe, with a five-layer electric folding roof that's been designed to deal with all sorts of weather extremes, and lowers with the flick of a switch in 18 seconds, at speeds of up to 50 kilometres an hour. • The compact folding soft top has helped retain the same amount of legroom as the Coupe, and when the roof's up, there's as much headroom as the five door model. • The total boot space has been cut in half though, but the usable space is almost the same, with enough room for a weekend's luggage for two. • You may think of the Evoque Convertible as yet another smallish convertible to compete with the likes of BMW and Audi, but the Range Rover's big trump card is its ability to go off-road. • Not many people will put it to the test, but the Evoque is just as capable off the beaten path as it is on it, which makes for a pretty unique experience when trundling around with the roof down, in complete Range Rover luxury. • The Evoque Convertible is coming to Australia with a choice of high-spec diesel and turbo petrol engines, which do a good job of dealing with the Convertible's extra 280 kilos of weight. • They're not as spritely as the Coupe, but still offer good performance. • Our pick would probably be the diesel, as it's the new high-tech Ingenium unit is quieter than the petrol, most of the time, uses less fuel, and delivers its performance with less fuss than the older petrol engine. • The Evoque Convertible is still a lovely thing to drive, with retuned suspension to cope with its extra weight making sure it still corners well and rides like a proper luxury product. • The Evoque Convertible won't be cheap when it hits Australia, carrying a price premium of more than $10,000 over the equivalent Coupes. • This is likely to matter little though if you want a convertible, and it's not hard to be enchanted by the Range Rover's still stunning looks. • The Evoque Convertible isn't really an SUV anymore. It's more like a convertible based on an SUV, but its combination of top-down joy and off-road ability make it a unique and compelling option in a segment ruled by desirability.
