Land Rover builds vehicles that can overcome just about any off-road challenge, but their pricetags may leave owners reluctant to take them into the woods. The new Range Rover Velar can’t hang with its maker’s most capable cars, but its optional air suspension enables it to cross a two-foot-deep waterway, and it looks, feels, and drives better than any other Land Rover on pavement. The Velar is easily recognizable as a Land Rover, but its sleek, compact look will make it a perfect fit at the valet stand. Too bad the name Range Rover Sport wasn’t available.
The Range Rover Velar offers three engines, a 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder with 247 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque, a 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 180 hp and 317 lb-ft, and a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp and 332 lb-ft.

That's the burning, leather seat-massaging question we’re here to answer.
