In this video, Jenny reviews the all-new 2018 Range Rover Velar. Officially a mid-size SUV, the Velar packs the size and luxury of more upmarket cars.
This is a very good looking luxury SUV. Get behind the wheel and you will experience the quiet capability that Land Rover / Range Rover is renowned for. As well as the added comfort in the first edition as it has the optional air suspension.
There are several engine choices available in both diesel and petrol. The engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic from ZF, a big part of why the Velar despite being a powerful SUV remains fuel efficient and comfortable.
