Pricing for the Velar starts at $70,662+ORC and runs to $135,762+ORC. Indeed, despite price similarities, the Range Rover Velar is better to drive, is more practical, and it looks a million times better than the Jaguar, both inside and out. More than this, the Velar as those paying attention will know shares a lot of its oily bits with the Jaguar F-Pace (the aluminium platform, but from a driving and looks point of view, you’d have no way of guessing the two were related. Land Rover says the Velar sits in the white space between Evoque and Sport, meaning the gap in vehicle wheelbase lengths, see, Evoque measures 2660mm, Velar 2874mm and RR Sport 2923mm. Everything about the Velar, Land Rover says, is aimed at reductionism, hence the twin hi-res 10-inch touch screens that control everything from the music to navigation, climate control, Terrain Response and even the massage function on the front seats. Land Rover says the Velar is all about stripping away complexity to reveal “true quality” and that key examples of this are the door handles that retract in flush against the body until needed, or indeed the rotary control gear shifter that rises out of the centre console (yes, I know this is nothing new). And the best bit, that Land Rover hasn’t totally sold out to gimmickry with the Velar…it still has Terrain Response and adjustable air suspension to go further off-road than any owner will ever dream of going, and so much further off-road than its competitors, even on shiny 21-inch alloys, that the thing is virtually in a class of its own.
It’s not the most expensive Range Rover but the Velar looks and feels like it should be.
