In a world like the automotive industry, in which the body diversification is the order of the day, we have seen in recent times has tried to boost the segment of the SUV convertible without the moment has been very successful. The model put at stake this niche was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet , only for sale in USA , and has shown that sales are not as high as the Japanese firm planned. However, there are still some brands such as Land Rover who still think that one SUV convertible still makes sense .
Just a few hours confirmábamos that the Ranger Rover Evoque Convertible has a green light for production , confirmed several months after the brand presented a prototype foreboding. But before that happens we will see another convertible model made . This is the Range Rover renovated last year, thanks to the U.S. emprea Newport Convertible Engineering, will have a version semiofficial called Range Rover Convertible.
The fact that it's semi-official say is that Newport has confirmed that this variant will be offered directly in some official Land Rover dealers spread across the world, but give no details. So far have done a complete unit ready to be marketed, based on the Range Rover Vogue . In the coming months Stroll around this same unit for numerous exhibitions and fairs to try to find interested buyers.
However, the manufacture of the first units will start this same August, ie, in just a few days, so you probably already have units sold. No details were given of what modifications have been made, but we can imagine that have made major structural reinforcements to compensate for the great loss of stiffness that removes all traces of the steel roof and replace it with a huge piece of fabric reinforced, which is folded in trunk area in open-topped circular case
Nor do we know anything about the price but considering that they want to make only a small run and is a fad car, probably the price to rise at an alarming rate over the original Range Rover. With proposals like these, we see that the SUV convertibles have some output in the market , although it seems hard to imagine that a firm wants to return to venture to launch an SUV to large scale production.
