We like the D180 version on the road so much that we gave it the What Car? Coupe SUV of the Year award in 2020. While its 0-62mph time of 8.9sec won't get you foaming at the mouth, it's solid enough in the mid-range to get you going easily in town or on a motorway.

SE and above Velars get a 12.3in configurable driver display, which includes the speedo and rev counter. It’s similar to Audi’s virtual cockpit except it’s not quite as slick. One major technology omission is
