WHEN Land Rover introduced the Range Rover Velar in 2017, few realised the name’s significance. Velar was the codename for the original Range Rover, launched in 1970 and often seen as the first luxury SUV.
It wasn’t, because the first cars weren’t all that luxurious, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee had arrived seven years earlier – albeit not in Europe. But none of this really mattered, because what buyers really cared about was that the Velar looked great, offered serious luxury and was a true Land Rover.
