Overview

The Range Rover Velar was named "World's Most Beautiful Car" in 2018, receiving the design award at the 2018 World Car Awards. The vehicle received a facelift in 2023. Design. The Range Rover Velar ushers in a new design language for Land Rover that is influenced by Land Rover's previous design language that began with the Evoque and most recently was used in the Range Rover Sport. The new design language features smoother lines on the body, and emphasises sportiness and on-road ability, but more important is the new interior design language that begins with the Velar, which will later spread to other Range Rover models. The interior of the Velar is influenced by that of the Jaguar I-Pace of 2018 and features 3 touchscreens, which control most of the interior features of the Velar. A review of the Velar on Bloomberg.com described its cockpit as being more driver-focused and stated its sitting position was lower than any other Land Rover before, as sportiness and on-road performance are top priorities.
