You know Jaguar Land Rover's Board of Directors knew Gerry McGovern (Chief Design Officer, Land Rover ) and his team had another winner on their hands with the new Range Rover Velar, purely for the fact they didn't even bother building a concept car, instead, going straight from clay model to series production.
Velar offers a choice between traditional leather and a premium fabric from Danish textile manufacturer, Kvadrat. To be perfectly honest, Velar's cabin already feels like next-generation Range Rover. Velar is very different from its Sport sibling. Like all Range Rovers, off-road competence is core to the brand's DNA. After two days in the saddle of the Range Rover Velar - the fourth new Range Rover model to emerge from Land Rover's design powerhouse under design chief Gerry McGovern - we are quite frankly blown away by the design itself, let alone with the rest of the vehicle.
