Land Rover Reviews

The second level of the four-step Velar stairway is the S. A significant price rise brings a ton of equipment and is probably where most punters will start, although probably not at the $82,263 D180. The top engine spec, the P380 with R Dynamic, maxes out at $109,092.Every Velar features all-wheel drive, an eight-speed automatic and five seats.The big price jump to the S means 19-inch alloys, an 11-speaker stereo, ambient interior lighting, electric front seats, sat nav, auto high beam, LED headlights with signature DRLS, puddle lamps, a wifi hotspot with on-board SIM card slot, powered and heated folding mirrors, leather interior, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, reversing camera, keyless entry and start, front and rear parking sensors, remote app, auto LED headlights, auto wipers, leather and suede trim, power tailgate, and a space-saver spare.The R-Dynamic package, which is a part styling part, technology pack for inside and out, adds different wheels, upgrades to seat leather, aluminium trim pieces and, on some models, an upgrade to the sound system. It also adds air suspension and bigger front brakes, depending on the engine spec. R-Dynamic adds around $6000 to the price of each trim/engine level.Each Velar comes with JLR's new stacked touchscreen technology, 'Touch Pro Duo'. With two big touchscreens, one high in the dash as before and one where the dash meets the console, it allows you to spread the different functions across the two screens. Annoyingly, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are a $520 privilege for the pair.The Velar ships with six airbags, ABS, stability and traction controls, tyre-pressure monitoring, reversing camera, lane-keep assist, forward AEB with pedestrian avoidance, and lane-departure warning.There are also three top-tether anchor points and two ISOFIX points and the Velar scored five ANCAP safety stars in December 2017.

Top of the standard Velar range is the HSE spec, stretching from $100,253 for the D180 through to $127,082 for the HSE R-Dynamic. Every Velar features all-wheel drive, an eight-speed automatic and five seats.HSE spec includes 21-inch alloys, massaging front seats with heating and ventilation, side parking sensors, digital dash, self parking, ambient interior lighting, electric front seats, sat nav, auto high beam, LED headlights with signature DRLS, puddle lamps, Wi-Fi hotspot with on-board SIM card slot, powered and heated folding mirrors, leather interior, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, reversing camera, keyless entry and start, front and rear parking sensors, remote app, auto LED headlights, auto wipers, leather and suede trim, power tailgate and a space-saver spare.The R-Dynamic package, which is a part styling part, technology pack for inside and out, adds different wheels, upgrades to seat leather, aluminium trim pieces and, on some models, an upgrade to the sound system.

Presenting the Land Rover you can get for $60,255 (before on-road costs). It's the Discovery Sport, a five-seater SUV that competes with cars like the Audi Q5 and the BMW X3, but unlike those cars, can be optioned up to a seven-seater should you so desire.

The Range Rover Evoque feels like it has been around forever. And it sort of has, if you count back to the 2008 Land Rover LRX concept car, which previewed the company's new design and marketing direction. Ten years on, and seven years after the launch of the road car, the Evoque still looks pretty and fresh. The

This Land Rover Discovery is the most affordable variant you can buy and while it doesn't come with a lot of equipment, it could well be the ultimate Disco.

Range Rover joins the plug-in hybrid crowd with two petrol-electric models that look the goods on paper. But these are big beasts, and Land Rover's off-road reputation must be upheld.

If you like your luxury SUVs loud, fast and fantastically fun, then Land Rover Sport's SVR is your cup of supercharged tea.

Land Rover is an interesting beast. For years there was the Defender, then the Range Rover, then the Discovery, and now suddenly there are Land and Range Rovers everywhere.
