The top screen, about the size of a Nintendo Switch, can tilt for a better viewing angle as well, and handles most of the infotainment and connectivity features.

The Velar appears graceful and chic, but with the addition of the R-Dynamic package and the Black Package, it looks downright sinister. They go so far as to call it the most aerodynamic Range Rover ever, which is like saying Donald Trump is the most enthusiastic president on Twitter, ever. When locked, they turtle back into the door panel for a flush look, aiding in aerodynamics. The Velar gives off a more unisex appeal - I always thought the Evoque sat on the feminine side of the spectrum.Įven the door handles are new and deploy out like a Tesla’s (of note, these pop-out door handles have been infamously unreliable on the Tesla Model S, but here’s hoping JLR has perfected them via the Jaguar F-Type).
