DRIVING IN STYLE

The updated Range Rover Velar offers a unique package-stylish, yet capable-but what do we think of it after spending a few days on the road with it?

In the Range Rover lineup, there are some stunning products, and the Velar is a unique offering amongst them. It’s an absolute looker, and yet, is positioned uniquely, for it offers a rather stylish design, and yet offers the traditional Range Rover functionality at the same time.

STYLISH UPGRADE

For 2024, Velar gets a styling refresh, but the overall design stays true to the original’s “reductive design” language that went on to be adopted by the product range – similar to the Range Rover and the Range Rover Sport with their sleek lines. The main difference here being the swept back roofline which differentiates the Velar from its siblings. The updates include the latest family grille and reshaped LED headlamps with streamlined running lights. At the rear, designers accentuated the Velar’s overhang with a new bumper and LED taillamps with a 3D effect and brighter illumination. There are other small changes to the design too, but mostly, the Velar remains perhaps the most stylish of the products from the Range Rover line up, and has a distinct edge over its cousins when it comes to design kudos.
