Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Convertible Spotted in India

One of the most interesting unveils from British SUV manufacturer Land Rover last year was the new Range Rover Evoque Convertible. While the SUV was welcomed with some mixed feelings, we would be lying if we said it did not intrigue us. Recently the Evoque Convertible was spotted in India for the first time in a flat bed with partial camouflage and a Great Britain number plate. This indicates that the car has come to India for homologation purpose and we could expect launch pretty soon.
