2026 Land Rover Range Rover Velar

The Velar shares its fundamentals with the Jaguar F-Pace, putting a greater emphasis on sport rather than Land Rover's traditional off-road prowess. Three powertrains are offered, including a 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel, a supercharged 3.0-liter gas V6, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that delivers ample power. Handling is taut and agile, but the ride is rather stiff. Dominating the dash in the quiet cabin is an infotainment system with two touch screens. But the bottom screen, which houses the climate and other controls, is mounted too low to easily use. Plus, the system requires too many extra steps to accomplish simple tasks. New features for 2019 include Android Auto and Apple Carplay compatibility. Updates for 2020 include an SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition, which comes with a 550-hp 5.0-liter supercharged V8. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine has been discontinued.
