2020 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER VELAR P340 S DRIVER

Michael Simari | Car and Driver The Car and Driver Difference We fit 10 of our carry-on suitcases behind the rear seats and 23 with all seats folded. The Velar's generally boxy shape and visually pleasing rear overhang-bodywork that extends behind the rear wheels-combine to swallow more carry-on suitcases than its immediate competitors with its rear seats up or folded. Our test vehicle featured aluminum trim, and every Velar has excellent detailing throughout. Take the door trim: Instead of using a spear of wood or carbon fiber inlaid into the upper part of the door panels, Land Rover adds the owner's choice of wood or metal into the section of the door between the upper and lower panels. Oh, and the materials used throughout are high quality and deployed in interesting ways. Interior, Comfort, and Cargoĭig modern architecture? You'll probably like the Velar's simple interior, which is rendered largely from horizontal lines and bold rectilinear forms. That's 2 mpg short of the EPA's highway estimate with the turbocharged four-cylinder, we managed 26 mpg. Our Velar test vehicle with the V-6 was a laggard, with a posted 22 mpg in our real-world highway fuel-economy test.

The Velar's weight is likely to blame for the turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine's being just 3 mpg better (23 mpg combined) than the more powerful supercharged V-6 option.

Our Range Rover Velar Was Less Than Good.

Michael Simari | Car and Driver More on the Land Rover Range Rover Velar Models equipped with the available air suspension can raise and lower their ride height for either more dynamic moves on-road or greater dexterity off it. The suspension competently controls the SUV's body motions and keeps body roll in check while returning a firm, well-managed ride. Much like the Velar's acceleration, its handling is by no means sporty. The supercharged V-8 in the SV Autobiography is charismatic and powerful, but that model's high entry price puts it in an entirely different class, going up against the Porsche Macan Turbo, Mercedes-AMG GLC-class, and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio. The 2018 Velar P380 V-6 managed a 5.7-second run from zero to 60 mph in our testing the Velar we had in our long-term test fleet was powered by the turbocharged four-cylinder and needed 7.4 seconds to hit 60 mph. The supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 is powerful but drinks plenty of fuel and transmits a gritty song through the dash. The base 247-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is well behaved enough, but it struggles to move the Velar's substantial heft. Every model uses an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, but one must pair those items with one of three engines. Unlike Goldilocks' home invasion, shopping for a Velar does not offer a "just right" powertrain combination. Land Rover has eliminated the diesel four-cylinder from the lineup.

Two new colors are also available: Eiger Grey and Carpathian Grey.

Elsewhere, Land Rover has made more minor updates, such as making Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration across the Velar lineup and fitting the base S model with driver-assistance tech such as blind-spot monitoring, 14-way power-adjustable front seats, a power-adjustable steering column, and SiriusXM satellite radio. We've driven it already, and it's awesome. The high-performance SV Autobiography Dynamic edition joins the lineup for 2020, powered by a rip-snorting supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 making 550 horsepower. At the end of the day, rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz GLC-class, Audi Q5, and Porsche Macan may offer more substance, even if they can't match the Velar for style. Land Rover offers several trims and a plethora of option packages and customization choices to aid customers in designing a nearly bespoke SUV to suit their individual tastes. All-wheel drive is standard, as is an eight-speed automatic transmission that's shifted from a rotary knob on the center console that pops up when you start the ignition. But its unrefined powertrains, clumsy handling, and buggy infotainment system are all causes for pause. Chic styling and a desirable nameplate emblazoned above its grille makes the 2020 Range Rover Velar an attractive choice in compact-luxury SUV world.
