......possibly the most beautiful SUV ever created to date....

Those of us who deal with the human vocal cavity know the word velar as the adjective form of velum, the back part of the roof of the mouth! What a terrible name for a car! Unless you are into that sort of thing, I guess.

Looks awesome too bad they are pieces of shit lol

Am I imaging this but doesn't Jaguar have the similar wristband lock and unlock feature? Do the companies share technology or are they like Toyota and Lexus?

Jaguar Land Rover is owned by Tata Motors which was purchased from Ford in 2008. The fact that they have been pieces of shit for quite some time now is an understatement.

Ok I understand now.

Jesus Christ $49k for a base Range Rover Velar that has a 2.0T Ford Ecoboost engine in it. LOL

No - the 2.0l 4-cylinder petrol/gas engine in the Velar (at least for Australian-spec Velars) is the new Ingenium petrol engine (184kW/365Nm) which does have similar output to the Ford engine but is a totally new engine.

Also debuting will be the higher output 177kW/500Nm Ingenium diesel (for those markets which have diesel engines).

I agree that Tata Motors - Jaguar and Land Rover - has had a lot of quality issues, but I don't agree on "pieces of shit", because they are, slowly, converting to all aluminium high-tech architectures - body and chassis - with very good handling and low weight. F-Pace is an exampel of that.

I am waiting for E-Pace, X2 and XC60 to come out with e-AWD - front petrol engine -within 3 years or so.

It's undoubtedly hot but cost an absolute fortune. The entry level model without the cool headlights, bumper or alloys cost as much as a 6 cylinder Cayenne, X5 or Q7.

Basic trim is less impressive:

Tough crowd here! Velar is such a stupid name, I agree. The base model looks like a Ford from infront. Truth be told if these cars were reliable, I would buy one in a heartbeat, otherwise I look at them from the stands.

While I don't own one because of reliability fear, I think they make the prettiest SUVs. Rolling jewelry.

[exon]

Nice looking iteration of the F-Pace platform, almost like a concept car straight to the showroom.

[Tjalle]

I can understand people who has land with 50 horses or 1000 cattle and with a stream that is 2 feet deep, to buy a Land Rover, but the rest? A Jaguar?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'd say you're in the wrong forum.

Really, tell us which is the best looking SUV currently out there....

[bichoo]

I personally find the Velar absolutely beautiful and love its simplicity. However, a well equipped Velar will get you into X5 category for pricing and comparison

[plymjack]

its from £44k to £85k so well into X5 pricing which is almost the same over here...

[malicem3]

I really like it. No need to switch out SUVs for another 2-3 years for us though.

Worth a bit of research to find out why it's called Velar
