Shopping for a Land Rover
can be challenging with all the great options out there. For example, if you're trying to decide on a Range Rover, should you go with the Velar or the Evoque? To help you make a decision, Jerry
has put together this rundown on the basics you can expect from each vehicle in terms of powertrain and features. Here's the lowdown on the Land Rover Velar
The Land Rover
Velar doesn't come cheap. It starts at $60,300, but you get a lot for your money. For example, it comes with 63.9 cu. ft. of cargo space and up to 22 in. wheels, to help you enjoy your outdoor experience. Thanks to its 247 hp engine, capable of producing 269 lb-ft of torque, the Velar can reach speeds of up to 135 mph and go from 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds.
Other features on the Land Rover Velar include the Range Rover Velar infotainment system, Pivi, which features an intuitive touchscreen interface, and a beautiful interior enhanced with perforated Windsor leather, suede cloth, or other premium textiles.
In addition, a split armrest allows you and your passenger to operate each independently for maximum comfort.

The Land Rover Evoque, on the other hand, is a more affordable vehicle. It starts at $46,400, giving you nearly $15,000 in savings over the Velar. What do you get for that price? Let's take a look.
For starters, we should note that the horsepower on the Evoque's 2.0 L engine is an impressive 246, producing 269 lb-ft of torque, which is certainly nothing to sneeze at.
It also comes with intelligent Terrain Response® 2 and All-Terrain Progress Control, allowing you to easily manage changes in weather or terrain.
The Land Rover Evoque can reach a top speed of 143 mph and go from 0 to 60 mph in 7.0 seconds.
The Evoque also offers just over 70 cu. ft. of total cargo space. Outdoors enthusiasts will also appreciate standard features such as Hill Descent Control, Low Traction Launch, and Hill Launch Assist.

Land Rover Velar vs. Land Rover Evoque: how do they stack up?
So, you've narrowed your options down to the Range Rover Velar and the Range Rover Evoque. How do you decide between the two?
The first question to ask yourself is your budget. The two are not at all similar in terms of price, so if you're looking to save many thousands of dollars on your purchase, this is really a no-brainer: the Land Rover Evoque is the way to go.
In fact, it's hard to see why one wouldn't go with the Evoque, given the number of features that come standard on it and its similarity in performance to the Velar.
If you want to be able to easily navigate outdoor terrain, the Evoque offers plenty of technology to help make that possible.
If you want the luxury of the Velar and have the funds to afford it, then you may make a different choice, but for the average consumer, it's easy to see what their pocketbook indicates is the best choice.
