Land Rover Range Rover Velar
Introduced in 2017, the Velar is the most elegant model in the brand’s lineup from a design standpoint, not only for its sleek bodywork, but also the luxurious and sophisticated aspect of its cabin. The diesel engine has been retired for 2020, leaving the Velar with a choice of 246- and 296-horsepower four-cylinder gasoline engines, in addition to 335- and 375-horsepower supercharged V6 mills. Meanwhile, the SVR variant shines for its performance quotient, thanks to its 542-horsepower, supercharged V8.
