Range Rover Velar – Sleek and fast, it’s the GT of SUVs.
Here’s the thing about most high-performance SUVs: They’re fast in a straight line, and some are even fun to drive. But despite the mega horsepower, the menacing exhaust rumble, the fat tires, and the pumped fenders, they still look like they’d be more at home attacking the school run than the Stelvio Pass. Even the ones with sporty rooflines, like BMW’s X6 M, the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe, and Porsche’s Cayenne Turbo Coupe.
The only SUV that looks ready to ravage a driver’s road is Lamborghini’s Urus, all muscle and menace, the quickest SUV we’ve ever tested.
And then there’s the 2020 Range Rover Velar SV Autobiography Dynamic. That name might clunk like concrete blocks in a cement mixer, but if the Urus looks the proper supercar of SUVs, this rakish, thrusting, top-of-the-range Velar looks the proper GT.
