Summary
The Range Rover Velar is a magnificent-looking car, with jaw-dropping exterior styling and a cabin that blends innovative gadgetry and high-quality materials. There are several engines to choose from, but the D300 is one that stands out; with power, refinement and, surprisingly, efficiency too. Big wheels somewhat hinder the ride, and the Velar is rather expensive, but that doesn’t stop you loving it. Nor does it stop you wanting one.
