“The Velar plugs a gap in, er, Land Rover's range of Range Rovers. It's bigger than the Evoque but smaller than the Sport ”
PROS Achingly stylish inside and out. Improved engines and plug-in option make the heavy-duty bits more competitive. Relaxed and refined, yet unusually superb off-road.
CONS Infotainment screen not quite Land Rover’s latest and greatest. Expensive once you start speccing it
The Range Rover Velar is a stylish, refined and seriously appealing coupé SUV. If you keep to small wheels, it's a comfy companion while our favoured S trim gets plenty of kit. It’s best to stick to the cheaper trims and engines – once you start moving up the range, the price rises into the realms of better-resolved cars, such as the Audi Q8 and BMW X6.
PROS Decent economy with diesels and plug-in Smooth and punchy D300 engine Good off road
CONS Average rear leg room Wallowy handling Some cheap plastics inside
The boxy Bollinger B1 SUV might look like vintage gasoline-burning off-roaders of the past, but it boasts a modern all-electric powertrain with 614 horsepower. We see elements of the original Ford Bronco here as well as the Land Rover Defender. The B1 will be built alongside the B2 pickup truck in Detroit and both are said to provide a 200-mile driving range between charges. The B1 is a utilitarian affair, and from what we can see so far its interior is free from just about every luxury. We'll know more about the B1 when it's officially unveiled in production form in September 2019.
