The Land Rover Range Rover Velar may align more closely with the Porsche Macan in terms of price, although the Velar is slightly bigger.
The Macan offers better on-road performance—especially in Macan Turbo models—for now, but the Velar wins in sheet metal.
The GLC-Class can be far more affordable, although GLC Coupes start at nearly the same price.
The Audi Q5 is a conservative pick among the group, but its understated class could have its appeal.
The Jaguar F-Pace is related to the Velar and is better to drive, but falls down on tech and exterior looks.
The X5 makes its case in usable space, although it lacks the appeal of all of the above.
