2017 New York Auto Show: Top 5 Big Hits Of The Show

2018 Range Rover Velar

The Range Rover Velar uses the same aluminum architecture as its distant cousin – the Jaguar F-Pace. It sits right in between the Range River Evoque and the Range Rover Sport, with prices starting at $50,895. And it’s going to be one massive headache for BMW and Mercedes-Benz to deal with upon going on sale this summer. Its styling draws cues from its siblings as well as from the F-Pace and the resulting package is quite a looker.

The interiors are futuristic with a clean dash devoid of clutter. Two large 10-inch touchscreen displays occupy the center console and their tasks are split up between infotainment and onboard feature details/controls. Land Rover has integrated an array of tech into the Velar including their off-road assistance systems.
