2020 Land Rover Range Rover Velar vs. Its Competition

2020 Land Rover Range Rover Velar SVAutobiography
Andrew Ganz Andrew Ganz Senior Editor

Since the Velar shares its underpinnings with the Jaguar F-Pace, it’s worth cross-shopping the two.

The Jag costs less and isn’t as plush inside, but the ride quality is similar.

Mercedes-Benz has a GLC-Class SUV for any need, so don’t miss it.

Volvo’s XC60 boasts a broad lineup and subtle Scandinavian style throughout, plus plenty of power from its 4-cylinder engine lineup, including a plug-in hybrid.

Audi’s Q5 is just right and even better as the rorty SQ5.

Don’t leave the Porsche Macan off your list.

There’s not a better-handling SUV, although the Alfa Romeo Stelvio could contend.
