2018 Range Rover Velar: A rotary shifter done right

Back in February, editor Reese Counts expressed his beef with the rotary shifter in the long-term Jaguar F-Pace. In short, the shifter wouldn’t rotate into either drive or reverse. Now, I’ve personally never experienced such an issue with that shifter design since it was unveiled in the original (and awesome) Jaguar XF. Yet, that early […]

Range Rover Velar 2018 review: The future for Land Rover is looking as bright as ever

No sooner have I pulled up outside the California showroom in one than a lady is standing next to it beckoning me out. “You’ve got my car,” she claims forthrightly. “You are driving my car.” A million thoughts start racing through my head.

Products from the British automaker provide luxury, fantastic styling and unparalleled off-road capabilities for a vehicle in this class. Though each model tends to stay on the market longer than some competition — the first-gen model was on sale from 1970 until […]

2018 Range Rover Velar First Drive | Nontraditional by design

I’m traversing Norway’s stunning landscapes but don’t want to take the 2018 Range Rover Velar offroad. It’s not capability I’m worried about (though I’ll admit the road-biased 22-inch hoops and 40-series tires give me pause). Rather, it’s the look of the thing — I mean, have you seen it? From the gentle sweep of its […]
