    Verdict<\/h2>\n

    Many people will be sold on the Velar\u2019s striking looks before they have even climbed behind the wheel. Once inside the new cabin, however, the bleak dashboard design isn\u2019t quite as convincing. And while the Velar is still as good to drive as ever, this P400e powertrain exhibits some flaws. The silky six-cylinder diesel powerplant would get an extra half-star from us, but there are better PHEV alternatives on the market.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The Range Rover Velar has been with us for six years, and now is the time for the first significant update for the model that sits between the entry-level Evoque and the more luxurious Range Rover Sport.<\/p>\n

    When it first hit the road back in 2017, the Velar flaunted a design that wouldn\u2019t have looked out of place on a concept car. It\u2019s therefore understandable that the cosmetic exterior changes for this mid-life facelift are very subtle. At the front, the grille features revised inserts, while at the rear the lower area of the bumper has been mildly reprofiled \u2013 and that\u2019s pretty much it.<\/p>\n
