View dealThe Land Rover Range Rover Velar is a five-seat luxury SUV built around design as much as anything else, and it slots between the smaller Range Rover Evoque and the larger Range Rover Sport in the line-up. It suits a driver who wants Range Rover presence and calm, without the footprint of the biggest models.
There is one body style, one trim - Autobiography - and three powertrains: a 3-litre turbo petrol, a diesel, and a plug-in hybrid. Every version is automatic with all-wheel drive, so the real decision is how you want it fuelled.
It's a practical thing too, despite the sloping roof: 568 litres of boot space with the rear seats up, 1,374 litres with them folded, and braked towing of up to 2,500 kg on the strongest versions.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 28 September 2026.
The Velar is the style-led Range Rover: 4.80 m long, 1.93 m wide and 1.68 m tall, with flush door handles, a floating roofline and five seats rather than seven. It's a road car first, with genuine off-road ability held in reserve.
Reviewers consistently praise the exterior design, the hushed cabin and the way it settles on a motorway. The common criticisms are that almost every control now lives in the touchscreen, and that ride comfort suffers on the largest wheels - worth thinking about if your local roads are poor.
The name is old Range Rover history, used in the late 1960s to disguise prototypes. Cover comes from a three-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty, with servicing every 24 months or 21,000 miles.
Because the Velar arrives well equipped whichever version you pick, and leasing lets you run one over a fixed term on a fixed monthly rental without worrying what it'll be worth at the end. Every Velar is all-wheel drive with an eight-speed automatic.
Standard kit across the range includes adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, a 360-degree camera, matrix LED headlights, an opening panoramic roof, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, wireless phone charging, built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a powered tailgate and adaptive suspension.
Driver assistance is thorough: autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition, self-steering parking and sensors front and rear. Turning circle is 12.0 m, which helps in town.
Three choices: petrol for effortless pace, diesel for long-distance economy and towing, plug-in hybrid if you can charge at home or work. All are automatic and all-wheel drive.
The 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol makes 394 bhp and 550 Nm, covers 0-62 mph in 5.2 seconds and tows up to 2,500 kg braked. Official economy is 28.1 mpg with 229 g/km CO2, so it's the choice for pace rather than running costs.
Diesel power runs from 201 bhp to 296 bhp, with 0-62 mph between 7.8 and 6.1 seconds depending on version, and official economy of 37.3-41.4 mpg. If you cover big annual mileage or tow regularly - up to 2,500 kg braked - this is the sensible one.
The plug-in hybrid pairs a 2.0-litre turbo with a 19.3 kWh battery (15.4 kWh usable) for 398 bhp and 0-62 mph in 5.1 seconds. It charges at up to 50 kW, or 0-100% in 2.5 hours on a 7 kW home charger on the best version. It needs plugging in to make sense; braked towing is 2,000 kg.

There's one trim in the current range, Autobiography, so the specification decision is mostly about options and paint.
Autobiography brings Pixel LED headlights with signature daytime running lights, Pivi Pro with connected navigation, Android Auto, a sliding panoramic roof with powered sunblind and an ebony suedecloth headlining. It rides on 22-inch alloys in the 10 Spoke Style 1075 design, with leather upholstery and air suspension; the entry version is 201 bhp. Options include massaging and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, four-zone climate control, privacy glass, a hands-free tailgate, a retractable towbar and a wi-fi hotspot.
The Autobiography is currently available from £945.06 a month.
Ten paint colours are offered across the range, from Fuji white and Santorini black to Giola green, Batumi gold and Varesine blue. Our team can talk through which colour and option combinations are actually available on current stock - it changes constantly. If you want help weighing up mileage, term and specification before you commit, our guide to choosing your car covers the trade-offs, and there's a separate electric and hybrid leasing guide if you're leaning towards the plug-in.
If the Velar appeals but you want something sharper to drive from the same part of the market, the Porsche Macan covers similar ground. You can also see the rest of the range on our Land Rover leasing page.
