Strong V6 engine
High-quality materials in the cabin

Cons
Infotainment system is frustrating to use

Overly firm ride

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. We've driven it already, and it's awesome. 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.

Pros
Avant-garde styling, large cargo space, high-end interior design.

Cons
Finicky infotainment system, grumbly engines, eye-popping price tags.
