The Velar name was first used in 1969 for a prototype of the original Range Rover. It stood for “V Eight LAnd Rover.” Ironically, the modern-day Velar doesn’t offer a V8 engine. Instead, you can choose between a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine (247 horsepower) and a turbocharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder mill (335-395 horsepower). For 2024, the company known as JLR made a few cosmetic revisions, enhanced content and updated the interior. Too bad reliability continues to be an issue.
