A full images showing New Range
Rover Velar have made their way online, courtesy of
Diariomotor, ahead of a Geneva Motor Show world premiere. The Velar was made to fill the gap between
the most affordable Range Rover, the Evoque, which starts from around US$ 41,000,
and the Sport that can be had from US$ 65,000 and upwards.
Land
Rover will potentially try to steal buyers from both the upper end of the BMW
X4 and Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe lineups, as well as the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz
GLE Coupes.
The new gallery that follows Land Rover’s single
teaser photo last week, shows a familiar exterior styling with influences from
both the Evoque (especially up front) and the Sport (the rest of the body),
albeit with more rounded and softer lines, as well as a more rakish roof than
either one.
Inside, while sporting similar lines to the other
Range Rover models, the Velar progresses the brand’s design further introducing
two ultra-wide touch screens, one for the infotainment system in the upper
console and another placed right under. The lower console display appears to
retain three physical knobs for the air-conditioning controls.
Nothing official about the Range Rover Velar’s
hardware has made it out yet, but we know that it’s closely related to the
Jaguar F-Pace, being built on the same IQ platform, with V6 and possibly, V8
engines to be on the menu cumulating with a muscled up SVR performance variant.
