2018 Range Rover Velar Fully Revealed In New Photos


A full set of images showing Land Rover’s new Range Rover Velar sports crossover have made their way online, courtesy of Diariomotor, ahead of a Geneva Motor Show world premiere in a week’s time.

The Velar was made to fill the gap between the most affordable Range Rover, the Evoque, which starts from around $41,000, and the Sport that can be had from $65,000 and upwards.

Our guess is that, beyond the Porsche Macan, Land Rover will potentially try to steal buyers from both the upper end of the BMW X4 and Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe lineups, as well as the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupes.

The new gallery that follows Land Rover’s single teaser photo last week, shows a familiar exterior styling with influences from both the Evoque (especially up front) and the Sport (the rest of the body), albeit with more rounded and softer lines, as well as a more rakish roof than either one.

Inside, while sporting similar lines to the other Range Rover models, the Velar progresses the brand’s design further introducing two ultra-wide touch screens, one for the infotainment system in the upper console and another placed right under. The lower console display appears to retain three physical knobs for the air-conditioning controls.

Nothing official about the Range Rover Velar’s hardware has made it out yet, but we know that it’s closely related to the Jaguar F-Pace, being built on the same IQ platform, with V6 and possibly, V8 engines to be on the menu cumulating with a muscled up SVR performance variant.

Audi Q-Family Joins SUV Coupe Movement With Brand New Q8

Image
Gone are the days in which the only premium mid-size SUV Coupes you could buy were the BMW X6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe. Now, Ingolstadt has joined the mix with an SUV unlike any other Q-family member. The Q8 will reach its European customers in the third quarter of 2018, bringing with it a “versatile, sporty and elegant” package that’s meant to be both dynamic as well as prestigious-looking, according to the German automaker. Bumper to bumper, the Audi Q8 is 4.99 meters (16.4 ft) long, with a width of 2.00 meters (6.6 ft) and a height of 1.71 meters (5.6 ft), making it wider, shorter and lower than the Q7. As for the wheelbase, it’s nearly 3.00 meters long (9.8 ft), resulting in a more spacious interior than that of its direct competitors when it comes to cabin length and headroom. If you want precise measurements, we can tell you that the Q8 is ever so slightly longer, wider and shorter than the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, while also edging out the BMW X6 when it...
