The 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar ranked #12 in Luxury Midsize SUVs. Currently the Land Rover Range Rover Velar has a score of 8.3 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 13 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Excellent fuel economy
Sophisticated cabin with high-quality materials
High-tech, responsive infotainment system

Cons

The lovely Velar's sophomore year is marked by some slight tweaks to its available content and a larger, 21.6-gallon fuel tank. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available for the first time and are bundled together in the Smartphone Pack package and the Velar's Premium Textile interior upholstery can now be ordered as a standalone option.

PROS
Stunning to behold,
functional cargo area,
upscale interior materials.

CONS
Touchscreen-everything interior takes getting used to,
so-so powertrains, top-shelf models are pricey.
