Overall it might be difficult to tell these two apart, but there are details in both style and performance that set these two models apart. From their signature Range Rover grilles to the LED headlights the two are overall similar in stance. The new Range Rover Velar and Range Rover sport both exude sophistication and refined style. If you want something easy that will do everything well, but nothing spectacularly, get the Lexus RX.ĭrivetrain: 5.The Range Rover Velar vs. If your concern is power, you can only get a V8 in the X5 and the Porsche Cayenne in this size.

But again, it’s more expensive, so it should.

The Velar does look great, better than the Lexus or Audi or BMW X5 or Acura MDX. No one told them the Evoque is about 42,000 bucks, or just a little more than a maxed-out Ford Fusion. Upper middle-class people buy Lexuses and Audis rich people buy Range Rovers, they would say. But, at least in the public’s eyes, the Range Rovers are a breed apart regarding what it says about your life. The Range Rover name does add about a $10K premium over the Audi and the Lexus in base form, and like I said, the premium SVAutobiography is a good bit more than that. The cargo area is just under 30 cubic feet, which is a little bigger than the Audi Q5 and smaller than the Lexus RX, the two leaders in the class. Both car seats fit, no problem, but I had to move the passenger seat way up to get it out of range of the littler kid’s feet. The Velar's second row is just a little tight for two kids.

The electronic power steering was perfectly tuned, and the tighter suspension made it fun to zip through traffic (that's your tradeoff). I didn’t try the off-road and rock modes. I like a sports-car feel, but if you have the range of adjustment to do both harsh and soft, make it a wide spread of suspension setups. The 2020 Velar SVAutobiography’s suspension is surprisingly stiff, even in comfort mode.

The Velar has paddle shifters if you want to swap gears yourself, but I never felt the need. The eight-speed automatic is perfect in every way, making midrange punch almost as good as standing starts. The 2020 Velar is neck-snappingly fast from a standstill, as in 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds. Before we even got in the Velar the kids were asking, “Is it fast!?” I said, “Yes,” and sadly, “probably faster than my Mustang.” It sounds better than my Mustang, too, with that bark on startup and a low rumbly idle. If that’s the size of vehicle you’re looking for, and don’t mind spending anywhere from $56K to this SVAutobiography’s $90K tag, you’re in luck, especially if you like meaty V8s, because that top trim is the only way to get Land Rover's glorious 5.0-liter in the Velar.Īnd what a mill it is. The Velar is basically the size of the Jeep Grand Cherokee from nose to tail. While you weren't paying attention, the Range Rover lineup split into four sizes of vehicle: The Range Rover is the biggest, followed by the Range Rover Sport, then the Velar and finally the Evoque.
