Range Rover Velar SUV release pictures

The Range Rover Velar is the company's fourth SUV, and is positioned in the "white space" between the Evoque and Sport

The Velar is priced between roughly £45,000 and £85,000, so there are very few SUVs with which it doesn’t compete 

Being a Range Rover means the Velar is just as capable off the road as it is on it

Range Rover has pulled out all the stops inside the Velar, and also removed almost all the buttons, save two rotary dials

The twin-screen Touch Pro Duo infotainment system is standard across the range

You’ll need S trim if you want leather seats, as the Standard car comes with synthetic leather and suede effect fabric 

The Terrain Response system has several modes including mud, sand and comfort modes

Upgrade to the Terrain Response 2 setup and these modes are switched between automatically

The Velar is available with three diesel engines and two petrols

Two of the diesel engines are 2.0-litre four-cylinder jobs, as is the turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine

The 3.0-litre diesel engine and the supercharged 3.0-litre petrol have six-cylinders

This is worth knowing, as air suspension comes as standard with the six cylinder engines

When equipped with air suspension, the Velar becomes more capable off road

The air suspension also drops the Velar by 10mm at speeds over 65mph, in order to save fuel

Speaking of economy, the diesels return 52.5-44.1mpg, while the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine officially manages 37.1mpg

Choose the range-topping supercharged 3.0-litre petrol engine and the best economy you’re likely to see will be 30.1mpg

0-60mph takes between 8.4 with the slowest diesel engine, and 5.1 seconds with the fastest petrol

The Velar is available in four main trim levels. Entry-level cars are referred to as ‘Standard’, with S, SE and HSE following

A First Edition model will be built for the first year of production & comes with loaded with kit, but it costs over £80,000
