Land Rover used the 2017 Geneva Motor Show to unveil its new midsize luxury SUV.
The Range Rover Velar will sit between the Evoque and Range Rover Sport and the British automaker says it was “created from a clean sheet using Jaguar Land Rover’s Lightweight Aluminum Architecture.” Its exterior styling resembles other modern Range Rover models, but its sleek lines help make it more aerodynamic. In fact, the Range Rover Velar is the company’s most aerodynamically efficient model ever produced with coefficient of drag of 0.32Cd.
