Pros
Distinctive styling inside and out
Strong V6 engine
High-quality materials in the cabin

Cons
Infotainment system is frustrating to use

Overly firm ride

The high-performance SV Autobiography Dynamic edition joins the lineup for 2020, powered by a rip-snorting supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 making 550 horsepower. We've driven it already, and it's awesome. Elsewhere, Land Rover has made more minor updates, such as making Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration across the Velar lineup and fitting the base S model with driver-assistance tech such as blind-spot monitoring, 14-way power-adjustable front seats, a power-adjustable steering column, and SiriusXM satellite radio.

Pros
Avant-garde styling, large cargo space, high-end interior design.

Cons
Finicky infotainment system, grumbly engines, eye-popping price tags.

By: 
caranddriver.com

The 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Velar is unranked in Luxury Midsize SUVs due to missing safety data. Currently, the Land Rover Range Rover Velar's overall score is not available, though its Critics' Rating, Performance score, and Interior score are based on our evaluation of 17 pieces of research and data.

Pros
Elegant, high-quality interior
Powerful engine options
Composed ride and handling

Cons
Distracting dual-screen infotainment system
