JLR Reveals The Range Rover Velar To Take On The Macan, GLE, And X6

The Range Rover Velar will soon be unveiled as the most radical-looking Range Rover in history: a mid-sized SUV-coupé designed to lay down the toughest challenge yet to Porsche’s all-conquering Macan and rivals such as the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé.

The new model, which imaginatively revives the Velar name used on original secret Range Rover prototypes in the late 1960s, is designed to plug the price gap between the £40,000 Evoque and the £80,000 Range Rover Sport.

So basically an elongated Evoque?

Style wise it does look like a stretched Evoque but the article says it will built off the F-Pace platform. Seems very close to the Range Rover Sport to me.

Pointless duplication for the sake of pointless duplication apparently.

The elongated design ruins it. Doesn't look as cool as the Evoque.

The Velar roof line is the kiss of death.

As names go, I rank Velar above the Acura Vigor, but below the Vim.

Can't wait for the Valhalla special edition.

I dont' give a care what anyone says, I like this render. An elongated Evoque would be perfect for me.

I had an Evoke ahead of me in exiting a parking lot. I am amazed at how small the rear window is. You may have a better view out of an Aventador...
