The Land Rover Range Rover Velar SUV impresses with a Petrol MHEV, Plugin Hybrid or Diesel MHEV engine, 404 HP 63 km and an attractive starting price of 61900 £. Here are all the details at a glance.
The Velar wears Range Rover DNA with a slim, sculpted silhouette, flush door handles and narrow LED lights that make it look lower and more elegant than its SUV size suggests. Detailing is restrained rather than flashy, so it reads as premium in town and authoritative on the motorway. With overall dimensions around 4,797 mm long and 1,933 mm wide and a height in the 1,657–1,665 mm range, it has the road presence of a luxury SUV without the bulk of a full‑size Range Rover.
The cabin favours clean surfaces and high‑grade materials, combining soft leather, brushed finishes and a minimalist dash that lifts the sense of quality at most trim levels. Controls mix touchscreen interfaces with a few tactile switches, which keeps daily tasks straightforward while still feeling modern; higher specs add nicer leather and trim choices. Seating is for 5 and the seats feel supportive for long drives, with adjustments and heating options that make the Velar comfortable on commutes and coast‑to‑coast trips.
Practicality is competitive rather than class‑leading: luggage space sits around 552 litres with the seats up and expands to roughly 1,358 litres with the rear bench folded, so it swallows weekend bags and a pushchair without fuss. Small storage cubbies and a sensible centre console help keep daily clutter under control, though the low boot lip and sculpted rear seats slightly limit awkward‑shaped loads. Payload figures and small differences between powertrains mean buyers carrying heavy kit should check the specific variant, but for most families the Velar covers groceries, school runs and holiday luggage with ease.
On the road the Velar balances comfort and composure: the suspension soaks up potholes while body control stays respectable for a vehicle that weighs between about 2,085 and 2,280 kg. Powertrains range from efficient diesels to punchy petrols and a plug‑in hybrid, so performance varies — the petrol P400 delivers roughly 400 hp and a 0–100 km/h around 5.5 s, the P400e PHEV about 404 hp and a similar sprint time, the diesel D300 does 0–100 km/h in roughly 6.5 s and the D200 is closer to 8.3 s. Steering is light and adaptive all‑wheel drive gives grip in poor weather, but the Velar’s mass bluntens razor‑sharp responses compared with smaller SUVs or sportier rivals.
Fuel and energy figures vary by drivetrain: the petrol MHEV lists around 10.2 L/100 km, diesels sit in the mid‑sevens at roughly 7–7.7 L/100 km, and the plug‑in P400e claims about 4.8 L/100 km with an electric range near 63 km from a 15.4 kWh battery. In everyday use that means the PHEV can cover most urban commutes on electric power alone if regularly charged, diesels return the best long‑distance economy on motorways, and the petrol will feel thirstier in stop‑start city traffic than the headline figure suggests. Real‑world consumption depends on load, wheel size and driving style, so buyers who do lots of short trips benefit most from the PHEV option.
The Velar offers a broad suite of driver aids — adaptive cruise, lane keep, blind‑spot monitoring and traffic‑aware systems — that make motorway driving and parking simpler and more relaxed. Infotainment centres on a dual‑screen layout with modern graphics and smartphone mirroring, though touch controls can be fussy when adjusting on the move and higher trims include premium audio and extra connectivity features. Over‑the‑air updates and configurable driver profiles add convenience, while optional upgrades such as a Meridian sound system and advanced parking tech enhance everyday usability.
The Range Rover Velar suits buyers who want a stylish, premium SUV with true Range Rover pedigree but without the size and expense of a full‑size model; it appeals to urban professionals and families who value design, comfort and a degree of off‑road capability. The model range spans petrol MHEV, diesel MHEV and a PHEV so buyers can prioritise performance or economy — for example the P400 petrol is a 400 hp option with higher consumption, while the P400e PHEV offers about 63 km of electric range for daily zero‑emission driving. For those who want presence, a refined interior and flexible powertrain choices in one polished package, the Velar is a compelling middle ground between style and substance.
