I’ve never warmed to this oddball steering wheel design, as nicely trimmed in suedecloth as it is, and perhaps unsurprisingly it’s going the way of the dodo in next year’s update. The front seats are beaut if a little too firmly padded, though they do with some of the most aggressive back massaging action out there – it’s just a shame they’re bit noisy in operation inside the otherwise serenely quiet cabin ambience. It certainly doesn’t give German rivals much pause for envy, but it’s clear and legible and offers a modest degree of personalisation. That said, the digital instrumentation content is of a look and design so different to that of the infotainment unit – especially the navigation mapping – it looks to be supplied from a whole other car manufacturer.
Little of it, such as the column stalks and door controls, seem conspicuously part-binned from the wider Jaguar Land Rover family.

The Touch Pro Duo screens are pleasingly sharp, the signature motorised rotary transmission controller – to be omitted in the 2021 update – maintains its neat party trick, and all of the metal-look details genuinely look metallic, even if some such as the handles and door inserts betray their plastic origins to touch. Land Rover clearly focuses on presentation, and the execution and finish of the cabin generally meet its aims. Light, airy, visually diverse and downright interesting, the Velar interior mightn’t be to everyone’s taste, but the feel-good factor is through the panoramic glass roof.
