Rover Velar Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Velar is the Range Rover that sits between the smaller Evoque and the full-size models. Its pricing is organized around two engine choices and several trim and edition names, and the edition names are where shoppers usually get lost. Two vehicles with different names can carry the same price.

The trim prices below all include destination and come from MotorTrend. Land Rover's own destination charge appears in a separate section.

The entry model is the P250 S at $63,175. Next come the P250 Dynamic SE at $65,375 and the P250 Belgravia Edition at $65,375, which carry the same price.

The P400 models start higher. The P400 Dynamic SE and the P400 Belgravia Edition are both $72,375. The P400 Autobiography is $80,475, and the P400 Belgravia Edition Satin tops the list at $82,475.

Because the Dynamic SE and Belgravia Edition share a price within each engine, the choice comes down to styling and equipment rather than money. Edition models usually bundle a specific look, such as special wheels and trim finishes. Ask the dealer to put the two equipment lists next to each other and see which one has the items you would otherwise buy separately.

The number in the name refers to the engine. P250 models are the lower-priced group, and P400 models are the higher-priced group. The step between the two engines is the largest jump in the lineup apart from the move to Autobiography. Take a test drive of both before you decide. A lower-powered engine may be perfectly adequate for daily driving, and the price difference is large enough to be worth thinking about.

All trim prices above already include delivery. Land Rover lists its own destination and handling charge separately.

Land Rover USA shows the charge as $1,575. Use it to see how much of a trim price is delivery, and make sure the number is not added a second time in your quote.

• Options. Paint, wheel upgrades, interior finishes, and technology packages can add a lot to the total.
• Dealer add-ons. Protection plans and accessories are set by the dealer and can usually be declined.
• Taxes and registration. These depend on your state and are not in any trim price.
• Documentation fees. Dealers charge these in addition to the vehicle price, and the amount varies by location.

Land Rover sets the MSRP, but the dealer decides the final price. Allocation of popular trims can be limited, and some dealers add a markup when supply is tight. Ask for a written, itemized out-the-door quote, then get the same configuration quoted at a second dealer. Differences in dealer fees and add-ons are often easier to see side by side.

• Insurance. Premiums for a luxury SUV vary widely by driver and location. Get quotes before buying.
• Fuel. Check fueleconomy.gov for official ratings on the engine you choose.
• Maintenance. Ask about service intervals, warranty coverage, and the cost of routine work at a Land Rover retailer.
• Tires and brakes. Larger wheels cost more to replace.
• Registration and taxes. Both usually rise with the price of the vehicle.

Land Rover Financial Services and independent lenders offer loans and leases. Payments depend on credit, term, and down payment, and mileage limits matter on a lease. Compare offers and consider consulting a licensed financial professional on which structure suits you.
