“The Velar plugs a gap in, er, Land Rover's range of Range Rovers. It's bigger than the Evoque but smaller than the Sport ”
PROS Achingly stylish inside and out. Improved engines and plug-in option make the heavy-duty bits more competitive. Relaxed and refined, yet unusually superb off-road.
CONS Infotainment screen not quite Land Rover’s latest and greatest. Expensive once you start speccing it
The Range Rover Velar is a stylish, refined and seriously appealing coupé SUV. If you keep to small wheels, it's a comfy companion while our favoured S trim gets plenty of kit. 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-resolved cars, such as the Audi Q8 and BMW X6.
PROS Decent economy with diesels and plug-in Smooth and punchy D300 engine Good off road
CONS Average rear leg room Wallowy handling Some cheap plastics inside
New Cayenne Coupe, Cayenne S Coupe and Cayenne Turbo Coupe models.Features swoopy coupe roofline and wider track at the expense of rear headroom.2+2 standard seating configuration, but a bench rear seat is a no-cost option.Part of the third Cayenne generation introduced for 2019.
Pros Truly impressive handling for a crossover SUV Wide selection of powerful engines available Exquisite interior and build quality Plenty of customization options
Cons Quite a few optional features should be standard given the price tag Gloss-black interior panels can look dirty almost immediately Poor rear visibility Fans are weak at low speeds and too noisy at high speeds
Not many automakers know coupes as well as Porsche—the brand made famous by the iconic 911—so it's surprising we've had to wait this long for a coupe version of its popular Cayenne SUV. The fastback SUV will be cruising into Porsche dealerships in October 2019.
Porsche's Cayenne Coupe has hit local hot-mix. But which of the fresh-face three-tier range is our pick of fast SUV pack?
Pros Good spread of pricing and choice Handsome coupe styling Little compromise in practicality Turbo's stonking performance
Cons Standard four-seat format is daft Pricey options Turbo thirst No sportier to drive than the wagon
