The model
Read full Range Rover Velar reviewThe 2024 Range Rover Velar is a refined, luxuriously equipped and seriously appealing SUV. Plus, if you keep to small wheels, it's a comfy companion. Just bear in mind that it’s best to stick to the cheaper trims and engines – once you start moving up the range, the price rises into the realms of better cars, such as the Audi Q8 and the BMW X6.
The trim
See full equipmentEven entry-level S trim gives you adaptive cruise control, leather upholstery, heated front seats with 14-way electric adjustment, a rear-view camera and a huge, 11.4in infotainment screen. Meanwhile, standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking (AEB), a driver condition monitor and lane-keep assist.
The engine
See full engine specsBy combining a petrol engine with an electric motor and a decent-sized battery, the P400e is able to get from 0-60mph in 5.1sec and has an official electric range of between 38 and 40 miles, depending on the trim you go for. It's not cheap as a private buy, but makes a lot of financial sense if you're a company car driver.
