Land Rover has confirmed the often spied Range Rover Evoque Convertible will be built and will go on-sale in 2016.

LAND ROVER HAS released a video of a camouflaged 2016 Range Rover Evoque Convertible undergoing ‘testing’ 40 metres below the streets of London, UK. Land Rover was given access to the 26-mile (42km) network of London’s Crossrail tunnels “for a development test with a difference”.

Murray Dietsch, Director of Land Rover Programmes (and an Aussie who cut his teeth at Ford) said: “The tunnels are still under construction, so we had a unique opportunity to explore the vehicle’s all-terrain ability in unchartered territory.”

Land Rover says it will release more details about the Evoque Convertible later this year.
