The process of getting this to production took the better part of a decade. Precious few will make their way to New Zealand, so it’s appropriate ours are the top-of-the-line HSE variants, petrol only. The car debuted at the LA motor show, appropriate given that’s where most of the 10,000-odd produced each year will end up. So what exactly do you get for your outlay? Something unique for starters, at least down in our neck of the woods. They’ll more likely be hanging out at coffee haunts, or marinas, like us.Īnd did Aucklanders notice? You bet, several commenting favourably about the look, realising it was Evoque-based but not that it was available in this guise. There are various sundry workhorses like Wrangler and Defender soft tops, but nothing else much in the luxury area.Īs it happens, the EC features AWD so could go off-road complete with its Terrain Response System but we all know that the all-paw system is there more for safety on road few owners will go bush in this. Those aspects aside, a convertible SUV is a rarity, no? Nissan chopped the top off its Murano at some point but it was never available here. There’s plenty of head clearance but space only for two adults, and that’s provided those in front are short, or at least generous enough to move their pews forwards so those in the back can have some actual legroom.

The RR EC makes do with a 2.0 four-pot turbopetrol. For that money, you can buy an F-Pace S or a Macan, both with 3.0 V6 turbopetrols. This particular model featured a host of them, taking the ask to $130,450.

Speaking of which, you’ll need to free up $118k to purchase this, and that’s before even perusing the options list, which you will want to do. The Evoque, being a Range Rover, is even more expensive but the styling is much more on the money. What does this high-riding roofless machine remind you of? Not a whole lot really as it’s in a tiny market segment of its own, but it does rekindle memories of the Freelander three-door, so no surprise perhaps that the Evoque convertible emerges from a closely related firmīack then it was expensive, and sold in minuscule numbers.
