I don't understand all the negative comments on this car. It's stunningly designed and looks fantastic - especially is the grey. Small, classy 4x4 convertible with four full size seats is great idea - and it deserves to be a success for Land Rover. My prediction is that all luxury brands will follow suit over the coming years.
I agree. A lot of people seem to hate it, but I would definitely buy this if I live somewhere tropical such as Florida. It's basically a Porsche but without worrying about scratching it when you hit a pothole :)
There are actually a fair amount of SUVs with, well not exactly convertibles, but with removable rooves. Defender, wrangler, and the hummer have all come in this configuration, so it's not like it's that strange a layout, but the top typically isn't that simple to remove or replace. The Evoke remains an odd ball in many ways to me. That trunk opening still looks rather unfortunate, so to speak. Not really related, but it's hot enough where I live that in the summer, cloth seats aren't cool enough on their own and the seat venting really becomes very desirable.
I said before and I say it again. This car will sell shed loads and be very popular. It is very unique and will be sought after. A very good review as usual.
Tolller Review! Hat uns überzeugt 👍! Wir haben den Evoque Cabrio in der Ausführung HSE mit dem Benziner bestellt (Farbe Aruba ) . Bekommen ihn zu Weihnachten und müssen uns nun einen kleineren Wohnwagen kaufen, da er nur 1500 kg zieht 😒. Macht aber nichts! 😊👍👍 Danke für den Review Thomas
Looking in the history books an old Land Cruiser, Willy's or Wrangler, DC100 and also Geländewagen, the Evogue convertible isn't a controversial concept. All of them ham a 3-door version with roll bars and fabric roof so this one had to come.
Nice review as always. Im not sure I know anyone who would buy/use a car like this, not because its bad, it sure has some nice features but it's just a bit over the top for common people... btw Beautiful house @12:11 in the background.
fantastic review, very in depth and precise, I'm not sure yet about the car it always looks a lot better when you see it in the flesh, so I will have to have a look in the showroom.very brave concept tho.
Love it. )) I'm getting a black one in January.)). Can't wait!!!! Been saving for it for a couple of years now... I'm finally almost there. £45.000 here in Britain. And I think it's worth every penny!!! But, it's like he said.... This car you either love it or hate it... And I Love It!!! :)
A really special car in my opinion. I would not buy it, because its just not my taste, but for some people this might be the perfect car. I would rather go for a 'real' SUV, ex. the normal evoque or the Ranger Rover sport in combination with something like a Porsche Boxster/Audi TT cabrio/Mazda MX5/ BMW Z4/ Mercedes SLC. A SUV for the real work and a cabrio for the fun stuff :) And I really enjoyed the video Thomas.
+Cuong Doan modern fabric tops are highly durable, remain nice, weigh less and take less space - thats why mercedes will even go back to softtop with the sl
Hi Thomas, big fan! I had to reply to you about the reason why cloth seats are not practical for a convertible. I have owned 4 convertibles including a BMW E30, Audi S4 and Triumph Spitfire ('79) If you ever get caught in the rain even for a few seconds, water soaks in less into leather than cloth. You can easily wipe off water on leather, especially if you have a good layer of conditioner on it! It doesn't saturate are fast or as much compared to cloth. I know because it took weeks for my cloth seats to dry in my Triumph after getting caught in a rain storm. Leather is also more durable and easier to keep clean over cloth. Beside, a Range Rover with cloth seats? What would the Queen say? :-)
Faux leather could be a solution then. I know what you mean. But I would never tell a cow "Sorry I need your skin in case of rain in my convertible" :) As for the queen, if you investigate that thoroughly, in the past royal sedans, only the driver seat had leather (for more durability), but all passenger seats always had cloth for better royal comfort! True story.
I love this type of "weird" cars... Its something new and kind of risk for car manufactures ... but i really hate wide screen mounted horizontaly. in navigation you can clearly see everything by side but not what is on the front. It seems reasonable to mount display vertically for me
I wonder how much fun you would have when you go somewhere like African wilderness where lions and other wild animals are around, with your roof down? I think those animals loves Convertible Evoque because it brings them food.
Thomas, how bad was the scuttle shake? The stance of the car is so mean; it's crying for a bigger engine. Alcantara everything, blue, and the engine from the Rangie SVR.
Ha. I see I didn't know you were an animal activist. I respect that. However I love cows for their leather and meat. Sorry just a carnivore and being honest. FYI. Faux leather would be just as bad as vinyl. Hot and sticky. Perforated leather or cloth is more comfortable in the hot sun. I live in California so it's sunny here 95% of the time. Thanks for the reply.
gutes Video gefällt mir echt werde jetzt öfters bei dir vorbeischauen achja bin durch Zufall auf dich gestoßen mach weiter so wenn du magst kannst ja mal mein Video auch bewerten( nur wenn du magst) Danke:)

I don't like this car. Who will buy a convertible "SUV" Which is very expensive, heavy (bad performance) and not very practical... For me it doesn't make sens :)

Small, classy 4x4 convertible with four full size seats is great idea - and it deserves to be a success for Land Rover. My prediction is that all luxury brands will follow suit over the coming years.
This vehicle will easily turn heads...it's a beautifully designed Convertible and would be utilized a lot here in Florida. (Sunshine State)
I agree. A lot of people seem to hate it, but I would definitely buy this if I live somewhere tropical such as Florida. It's basically a Porsche but without worrying about scratching it when you hit a pothole :)
Beautiful. But remember that an SUV cabriolet it's an old idea since Land Rover Defender and Jeep Willys. Always a pleasure to watch your reviews!
thanks! Indeed first LR was open top :)
This is the best auto review video I have ever watched.
Very detailed and great test - would be great to see how it looks in real life.
Bold move of Range Rover to make a car in a new segment.
thx we really appreciate that!
Can't wait to park this next to my 2011 Nissan Cross Cab! Me and my boyfriend are going to be loving it!

Thomas was silly today! I love it!!
silly? :D
+Autogefühl a lot of jokes!!!
haha ok =)
Amazing review I really enjoyed watching it, your flow is just perfect Thomas
appreciated !
I said before and I say it again. This car will sell shed loads and be very popular. It is very unique and will be sought after. A very good review as usual.
+mikeymarmalade thx. We are looking forward to the first official sale numbers too
i like that car! we ordered it for towing our new travel trailer. A perfect couple.
Thank you Thomas for presenting this car.
cheers, keep supporting us!
Love the How I met your mother reference! Hahaha. Your reviews are the best on UA-cam, keep up the great work!
haha =)

+Gert Guhl gerne! Tolles weihnachtsgeschenk :)
Great Review! Thinking of purchasing one now, thanks Thomas!
thanks Anthoy! Too bad RR is not offering those without animal skin seats
Autogefühl I agree! I live in California, and the leather seats will get too hot.
this would be the perfect car for me if it was hardtop, how is the temperature in the winter with convertibles?
Great review, Does the Petrol comes with the old 2.0L Ecoboost motor or the 2.0 Ingenium petrol ?

indeed the first Land Rover was a convertible :)
Like this model! Nice review Thomas!
thanks !! help us by sharing :)

thanks for the fedback !
feedback ;)
I'm in love with this car 😍
love the orange version it very elegant range remainds me fantstic Freelander best car to drive in Europe and Africa
fantastic review, very in depth and precise, I'm not sure yet about the car it always looks a lot better when you see it in the flesh, so I will have to have a look in the showroom.very brave concept tho.
thanks bro !
sehr gute Kritiken thomas ! Liebe Ihr Englisch Akzent !!
thx!
You can only have 2 cameras simultaneously on the screen, that's why you couldn't select the second side view at 18:10 .
ah interesting point! thx!
Range Rover Evoque Convertible😍😘🥰💖💘💗🔥👍👏🏻😊🤗💪🤤😋😘🔥😎👍😊👏🏻👏, Nice Car, Good Job Car, Nice Convertible Car, Good Job Convertible Car.
cuz in normal Evoque the windows are just small part of the body, so its looks better without hard roof
pretty much a WAAAAAAAAAAY better Nissan Murano Crosscabriolet?
correct.
The rear looks great.
absolutes Traumauto! schade, dass der so teuer ist. Hoffentlich bringt VW sein Konzept auf den Markt.
The car you should buy you look really good in it
Love it. )) I'm getting a black one in January.)). Can't wait!!!!
Been saving for it for a couple of years now... I'm finally almost there.
£45.000 here in Britain. And I think it's worth every penny!!!
But, it's like he said.... This car you either love it or hate it... And I Love It!!! :)
enjoy! I love the concept of SUV convertible. Sadly no animal skin alternative available yet, otherwise I would maybe go for it myself
+chello70 ...Thanks)). I will enjoy it))
A really special car in my opinion. I would not buy it, because its just not my taste, but for some people this might be the perfect car.

wish they have it in hardtop convertible, I would definitely buy it. Very unique Suv
+Cuong Doan that hardtop roof would have been too big! What u have against soft top?
Open up and down several times I thought the fabric roof will not be durable
+Cuong Doan modern fabric tops are highly durable, remain nice, weigh less and take less space - thats why mercedes will even go back to softtop with the sl
+Autogefühl will have to check it out soon as they're avaliable in USA
I think this will be a car that sells well, but Land Rover will not make a new version when it becomes out dated.
They will,cuz they are owned by TATA group and they have money..they funded all new range rovers,f type etc

good aspect
I think it's unpractical but it's a start for the Cabrio generation for SUVs
Love your reviews Thomas. Good that you now say wind-deflector ;) the car itself looks like a big rolling bathtub. Just horrible!
thanks =)
I wonder how much fun you would have when you go somewhere like African wilderness where lions and other wild animals are around, with your roof down? I think those animals loves Convertible Evoque because it brings them food.
=)
this car is my dreams
any one to tell me few words about reability and resell value. I am currently looking for a used one around the 50k km.
Hi Thomas, excellent work as usual. What action camcorder is attached to the mount on your left (POV, over your left shoulder) in this video? Thanks
Hi! We use Sony FDR
Autogefühl thank you!
I like it, but I prefer a standard SUV because of the space.
By the other hand as a second car would work to me.
This car will more than likely join the Nissan Murano in obscurity!
How can I order this car I'm in Nigeria?
loose convertible create noises in an uneven road suppose to be in hard top. ( however best car)
can I ask - what is your height?
What's next.. a convertible pickup truck?
Thomas, how bad was the scuttle shake? The stance of the car is so mean; it's crying for a bigger engine. Alcantara everything, blue, and the engine from the Rangie SVR.
sounds like a nice setup :-)
Sorry, scuttle shake ?
+Autogefühl en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuttle_shake
Why so much front overhang?
Why does it has the exact same Infotainment as the Jag F-Pace?
Is it like all the american cars which use "uconnect"?
Jaguar Land Rover = one corporation, and it's UK
I don't think cloth seats would stand against the elements I know it's been done before but not in this premium way
Or high grade leatherette with cooling
Excellent review as always, as for the car, ugly as hell. i will take a ds3 convertible anytime.
Yup that's an ugly car thomas
thats not a real convertible....
not at all. But is cheaper...thats why.
what is HSE SI4 stand for?
2 tonnes of a Range Rover , , So much heavier than the standard Evoque
This is soft top convertible: However incredible the best car in this world if you add the hard top convertible. (UNBEATABLE)
It’s a big Mini Cooper
Que tremendos coches!!
That rear trunk really is weird..
it is =)
It looks pretty much like VW Golf mark 1 cabrio
Yeah it does a bit lol
The roof does yes haha
where is the rest of the car
Ha. I see I didn't know you were an animal activist. I respect that. However I love cows for their leather and meat. Sorry just a carnivore and being honest. FYI. Faux leather would be just as bad as vinyl. Hot and sticky. Perforated leather or cloth is more comfortable in the hot sun. I live in California so it's sunny here 95% of the time.

+m5zealot cloth and alcantara is best for warm and cold indeed. Humans are not carnovores, use google :)
My imposible dream
Em março compro a minha
hei thomas are u germany?
+Steven Kievmozniak Yep I'm German
gutes Video gefällt mir echt werde jetzt öfters bei dir vorbeischauen achja bin durch Zufall auf dich gestoßen mach weiter so wenn du magst kannst ja mal mein Video auch bewerten( nur wenn du magst)
Danke:)
Nice
Why is a two meters guy talking ergonomics..?
You should just do these videos in German, easier for you. Just have people make subtitles for you
we have an international community, so ...
Muito linda 😍😍
What a ridiculous car..
That car isn't ridiculous
I'd hate to see something that bloated roll on it's head off road with an amateur driving it.
like i always say... BLASPHEMY IN MOTORING INDUSTRY!!! 😊
This car is a monstrosity, it's like cubism has made it to car designing. What an aberration.

potato box.
looks like a baithing tub rly disgusting looking.
thats a big NO
Lo que les faltable descapotables. I'm sorry my imposible Dreams..
Hatchback cars make for hideous convertibles!
Why they dont make it hard top convertible... Even Peugeot can make it... Why cant they? I dont understand this... For me they ruined it...
+AviAtoRoCKoN hardtop is heavier and needs more space
Well it looks really cheap like this...
I still hate you for uploading the leather seats are evil video..
Why? Because someone has the balls to speak out on cruelty?
Vielen Dank für die Unterstützung! :)
Thomas are you single? Asking for a friend 😁
Thank you ;-) and best greetings!
vay beee
desaster

This car is absolutely crap, should not exist at all
man, that's ugly!
Great review, but ugly car 👎
Nice review as always Thomas. But: the car is ugly.
+Saibot Troper thanks!
