## What is the Range Rover Velar like to drive?

Smooth and quiet rather than sporting. The P400 pairs a 3.0-litre mild-hybrid straight-six petrol of around 395bhp with an eight-speed automatic, and 62mph takes about 5.5 seconds. Air suspension keeps it settled on a motorway, and the steering is light and accurate without asking to be driven hard. It is a car set up for calm progress.

## How does it differ from a full-size Range Rover?

It is smaller, lower and more road-focused. You lose some rear legroom, some boot space and a degree of the imperious driving position, and you gain a car that is easier to park and cheaper to hire. The Velar was also the first Range Rover to lead on design, with flush door handles and a cabin stripped back to almost nothing.

## What does it cost to hire a Range Rover Velar?

A refundable deposit near £2,500 and a matching insurance excess are typical, with 12,000 miles a year included and £1.50 a mile after that. Drivers need to be 25 or over with three years of full licence.

## Is it suitable for a wedding or a family weekend?

Both. Five adults fit comfortably, the boot takes a weekend of luggage and the ride is soft enough that nobody complains after two hours. The clean shape photographs well without looking ostentatious, which suits people who want the badge without the theatre.

## Frequently asked questions

### What engine is in the Velar P400?

A 3.0-litre mild-hybrid straight-six petrol of around 395bhp, driving all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic. Diesel and plug-in hybrid Velars exist and can be requested instead.

### Is the Velar big enough for a family?

For four or five people, comfortably. It is smaller than a full-size Range Rover, so a family of five with a large amount of luggage would be better served by the Vogue.

### Can a 25-year-old hire a Velar?

Yes, with three years of full UK licence and no more than six points. It is one of the more accessible luxury SUVs in the catalogue for younger drivers.
