Range Rover Velar named most beautiful car in the world

The Range Rover Velar has been named World Car Design of the Year at 2018 World Car Awards. Bringing glamour, modernity and elegance to the Range Rover family, Velar offers a unique combination of design excellence and engineering integrity. 

Dr. Ralf Speth, Chief Executive Officer, Jaguar Land Rover, said, "The Range Rover Velar is an outstanding, superior sport utility vehicle. Compelling modernity, eye-catching design, innovative Touch Pro Duo infotainment technology and a clear focus on sustainability; what a combination. This product speaks for itself."

The distinctive design of the Range Rover Velar features perfectly optimised proportions and a stunning silhouette. Its super-slim Matrix Laser-LED head lights, flush deployable door handles and sleek Touch Pro Duo infotainment are all hallmarks of Range Rover's reductionist design philosophy.

Gerry McGovern, Chief Design Officer, Land Rover, said, "The continued evolution of our design philosophy is driven by a relentless focus on creating highly desirable vehicles our customers will love for life. The Range Rover Velar brings a new dimension of modernity to the Range Rover family with an abundance of innovative technologies, all making this vehicle a joy to drive and be driven in."

"We're honoured that the jury recognised the tireless endeavours of our designers and engineers in delivering a vehicle with compelling design, tailored technology and relevant innovation, which come together to create a vehicle of instant desirability".

The Range Rover Velar overcame the Volvo XC60 and the Lexus LC500 to take the World Car Design of the Year award, as voted for by the World Car Awards jury. The Velar's success follows the 2017 double win for the Jaguar F-PACE.
