![]() This means you can carry a couple of passengers and some long luggage at the same time. The back seats can be dropped in a three-way (40:20:40) split. You can also press a button to lower the back in Velars with air suspension to make getting heavier items in and out that bit easier. With a 568-litre boot (reduced for the plug-in hybrid model due to the battery pack), the Velar is well up to taking all the stuff that family life demands, and there are plenty of handy hooks and tether points dotted around for securing smaller items. Thankfully, fitting a child seat is dead easy. The small rear windows mean the Range Rover Velar can feel a little dark in the back for example. Those in the rear won’t have major complaints, but if you want to carry three adults back there then a Mercedes GLC is a better bet. Passengers will find getting comfy in the Velar a pretty easy task, particularly in the front. The big kicker is that you don’t even get satellite navigation as standard in entry-level cars, which is a bit mean on a car costing well over £45,000. Unfortunately, the Range Rover Velar’s controls aren’t as intuitive as the Audi’s and it doesn’t feel quite as well built. These replace the normal speedo and rev-counter dials, a bit like the Audi Q5’s Virtual Cockpit. There’s certainly no question that the Velar has more visual presence than the likes of the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, and inside it almost matches the elegance of the Mercedes GLC.Įven entry-level cars come with a clever dual-screen infotainment system that should impress you and passengers alike, while R-Dynamic SE models and up get fully digital dials. ![]() The Velar will still go further off-road than its alternatives, but will look better doing it. Think of the Range Rover Velar as the SUV equivalent of technical trail-running gear, versus the wax jacket Land Rovers of old.
