Meet the new Range Rover Velar!

It’s a step down from the fullblown Range Rover, and Mat’s about to find out if it’s worth the £54,000 starting price.

When it comes to the design, there are several updates over the previous edition. Around the back, the Land Rover badge has been replaced by big Range Rover lettering across the back. There are also new 3D effect taillights, as well as an updated bumper. Along the side, you’ll find a choice of new alloy designs, and on this car we have the 2tone effect design thanks to the black roof. Up top, there are a couple of new design elements, including new headlights, a new grille, and an updated bumper.

Step inside, and there’s been a big change with the centre console. Gone is the second screen and physical climate control buttons they’ve all been removed and that functionality added to the infotainment system. In their place… Is nothing! All you’ll find is a large gear selector surrounded by silver plastic.

When it comes to the actual infotainment screen, it’s been updated, but it’s not the most intuitive system. There are buttons on the steering wheel to manage the digital dials, but the menu can be a bit convoluted. Thankfully though the general design of the interior is nice, with lots of softtouch materials throughout.

When it comes to engines, there are a couple to choose from. If you want a diesel you can choose either a 2litre turbo or a 3litre with 200hp or 300hp respectively, and if you just want petrol there’s a 2litre turbo or a 3litre sixcylinder with 250hp and 400hp. All these cars come with an 8speed automatic and fourwheel drive.

There’s also a hybrid available, which comes with a 2litre turbo petrol and an electric motor that can put down 400hp.

So what do you think, is it worth the £54,000 price tag? Especially when you consider this can rise to almost £80,000 for the topoftherange model?! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!
