If you are looking for luxury and status, the Range Rover very rarely disappoints. The Evoque and Sport deliver on all counts, with well-equipped, powerful beasts of the road, you won’t often find a brand new one for less than £50,000.

But what of the Range Rover Velar? Where does that place itself in the pantheon of Range Rovers? We’ve picked some of the most popular reviews to give you a taste of Range Rover’s newest kid on the block.

Autocar says: ‘JLR’s most powerful four-pot isn’t the engine the Velar truly wants but perhaps the one that makes most sense.’

What Car says: ‘The Range Rover Velar is a stylish, refined and seriously appealing SUV, but there are better-finished and more practical alternatives.’

Top Gear says: ‘The Velar majors on style but it's still a useful car. It's roomy enough for a family, not so big it's awkward in cities, and capable of unusual off-road feats.’

Car and Driver says: ‘Land Rover’s new Range Rover Velar is a suburban delight.’

Daily Express says: ‘No one would ever pretend this Velar is a sports car like Jaguar’s F-Type but it doesn’t disgrace itself when twistier roads loom large in the windscreen either.’
