The company has not made any major changes to the new model apart from the convertible top which is designed to maintain the tin-top's profile when up, and like the Porsche 911 Cabriolet the top folds itself in the shape of a "Z".

Drivers can activate the roof at a speed of up to 30 miles per hour and it goes down in 18 seconds and gets back up in 21 seconds.

However, when compared to Evoque coupe which provides 19.4 cubes of storage the convertible model only offers 8.9 cubic feet of storage.

The car is powered by a 240-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine along with a nine-speed transmission.

The British automaker is also offering the vehicle in AJ200D Ingenium engines capable of producing 180PS of power and 430Nm of torque.

Jaguar has made improvement to the technology offered in the car as well, which now includes InControl Touch Pro system that provides 10.2-inch touch screen and 3G Internet connectivity.

Land Rover design director Gerry McGovern said: "The Range Rover Evoque Convertible is a symbol of refinement, luxury and creative design. It's perfectly suited to the urban surroundings of London.

"The Evoque's elegant design proportions lend themselves to the creation of a Convertible, and it's fitting to reveal the vehicle against the backdrop of one of the world's leading centres for art and design education here in the creative hub of London."
