The heavy camouflage is still there, but we can’t help but notice that black soft-top as we’re looking at the latest spyshots of the new Range Rover Evoque Cabrio, just in from our carparazzi.
This time, the open-top luxury crossover was spotted at Nurburgring and our spy photographers managed to take some close-up pictures as the test mule was returning to the Jaguar Land Rover test facility.
Compared to the regular 3-door Evoque, the cabriolet received a bigger and more prominent front spoiler, similar to the one showcased by the Evoque facelift. If you watch closely the prototype’s rear end, you’ll notice a Audi TT Roadster-like spoiler that was placed there to ensure there’s no lift at high speed.
In addition, JLR officials promised that the soft top will need only 20 seconds or so to go down or up, depending on the situation while NVH isolation will be top notch. Expect the British cabrio SUV toe be about 100 kg (220 lbs) heavier than the standard Evoque, since the missing roof means the floor and the boot will need some beefing-up.
No word on engines but the Evoque cabrio could receive JLR’s latest Ingenium tech. As a memo, earlier this month, we saw the first prototype of the Evoque Convertible being granted access to the 26-mile (42 km) network of Crossrail tunnels beneath the city of London, where it shot a promo video by obviously showing-off some 131 feet below street level.
Not exactly our idea of fancy, but we’re pretty sure the drop-top SUV will get plenty of attention once it hits the market, especially in the United States. Until then, we’ll let time and sales tell us if we were wrong or not.
