The Range Rover family tree is about to get a new sibling. It’s the Range Rover Velar. It has been confirmed by Land Rover and would be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

In the line up, the Velar is positioned between the Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Evoque. It will also be competing with the Audi Q5, Porsche Macan and even the Jaguar F-Pace.

Land Rover’s chief design officer, Gerry McGovern, said: “We call the Velar the avant-garde Range Rover. It brings a new dimension of glamour, modernity and elegance to the brand.

“The Range Rover Velar changes everything,” he added.

Velar means “veil” or “cover” in Latin.. so we’ll sit back and wait for more info about the ride when the “veil” is unveiled in March.
