Land Rover announced its entry into the coupe-SUV market at the Geneva Motor Show, with its new Velar set to take on the Mercedes GLC and BMW X6.
Demand for sleeker SUVs has dramatically increased over the past couple of years, although Land Rover is one of the few manufacturers to commit to the sector.
The Velar occupies the space between its compact Evoque SUV and the Range Rover Sport, blending a mixture of coupe-styling with the short overhangs of a Land Rover Discovery.
Its wheelbase is only ten inches shy of the upcoming Lexus LS, meaning it should have enough legroom for five occupants, rivalling the most luxurious limousine-style saloons available.
What's more, it's one of the few luxury SUVs to move away from having an all-leather interior. Land Rover will offer a sustainable material for the seats, steering wheel and dashboard as an optional extra.
Orders for the Range Rover Velar are open now, with prices starting at £44,830 and deliveries expected as early as this summer. Read more at www.oktilli.com
